Meaning of deva devam

[krishnaa]

Can i please have the meaning of this kriti of narayana teerthar.
I cannot understand most of the words

dEva dEvam. rAgA: sindhubhairavi. cApu tALA.

P: dEva dEvam vEditam mrgayAma bhayamiha
A: drshya vastu sudhrtayA satatam sati pratibhAti pratyagAtma yApi bhUtiSu nityamEva punAti bhayamiha
C1: prANa buddhi layOdayAdapi vAsayAtyamalEnA svaprakAsha sukhAt-manOdaya hAnidhi rahitEna bhayamiha
2: vEda bhAga vicAra jAtam atI priyA praNayEna varNitam shiva rAma tIrtha padAmbuja bhramarENa bhayamiha

[Rigapada]

Dear Krishna,

The lyrics as given by you are slightly different from the version given in the book by Vavilla as

given below:

dEva dEvam. rAgA: madhyamAvatI. aTa tALA.

P: dEva dEvaM kvEti tam mRgayAma vaya miha |

C1: dRSya vastushu dRktayA satataM sati pratibhAti
pratyagAtmatayA2pi buddhishu nityamEva punAti vayamiha |

C2: prANa buddhi layOdayA dapi bhAsaya tyamalEnA
svaprakASa sukhAtmanOdaya hAnidhirahitEna vaya miha |

C9: vEda-bhAga-vicArajAta-matI priyapraNayEna
varNitam Siva-rAmatIrtha-padAmbuja-bhramarENa vaya miha |

The total song consists of one pallavi and 9 caranams. This song is in the 8th Taramga, called

'gOpikAgIta'. The meaning of the song is tough as it discussess Vedanta and philosophy. The

book I am having includes detailed gist of each song in Telugu. If required I can attempt to

translate it.

Please note: S, sh, R are as in Siva and kRshNa. 2 represents akAra praSlEsha.

Hello Rigpada,

1) Could you pl post all the 9 Charanams (ie, C3 to C8 also).

I could not find the lyrics of this song in http://www.sangeetasudha.org/narayanateertha/sklt1.html {or sklt2.html or ...sklt3.html}

2) You mentioned 8th Taranga.

I am new to the classification system of NT's songs. I would like to know the no of Tarangas, and the general classification-index system of NT's songs.

3) In http://www.raaga.com/channels/carnatic/ ... id=CL00053, Malladi Bros have chosen to sing in different Ragams than stated in some literature. For eg, they have sung this song (ie, dEva dEvaM) in Sindhu Bhairavi, not Madhyamavati, Adi Taalam.
Taalam of the actual CD song = ?

3-b) Similarly, they have sung Ehi Mudam in Ananda Bhairavi, whereas http://www.sangeetasudha.org/narayanateertha/sklt1.html states Yadukula Kambhoji Ragam, Adi Taalam.
OR Khamas Ragam, Adi Taalam as stated in http://www.karnatik.com/c1331.shtml.
Taalam of the actual CD song = ?

3-c) Also, they have sung gOvidamiha gOpikA in Todi Ragam, whereas http://www.karnatik.com/c2416.shtml states Madhyamavati Ragam ?, Chapu Taalam.
Taalam of the actual CD song = ?

3-d) Still other examples include pAhi pAhi mAm parama krupALO, which they have sung in Jonpuri Ragam, whereas http://www.sangeetasudha.org/narayanateertha/sklt3.html states Bhupalam Ragam ?, Ata Taalam.
Taalam of the actual CD song = ?

Since the site (ie, http://www.raaga.com/channels/carnatic/ ... id=CL00053) does not state the Taalam info, I would like to know the actual Taalam of each song as they have sung in this CD.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir,

whose composition is this song? It says "Siva-rAmatIrtha", it is therefore not a composition of Sri Narayana Teertha; infact the Krishna Leela Tarangini does not mention this song. Who is Sri Vavilla that you refer below?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks,
Pratibha
