I tried to write down the words from the video but some words are not very clear. Corrections will be required:

cidambaranai digambaranai. rAgA: sindhubhairavi. Adi tALA.

P: cidambaranai digambaranai gangAdharanai talandai (?) ninai manamE
A: kAlanai kAlAl udaittavanai kuLir malai mAranai
C: aravu tanil bhavani ambulikkUndavanai turavu vA mannanai

rshankar: Lakshmanji has given his best; some of the words still need correction. Could you please listen?

VKR: Here you go - this is what I hear. I have underlined the words that are different from what Lji heard. The italicized word is something I am not at all certain about.

arasi may be able to enlighten the last two words!

rshankar: The words you have underlined make sense. Thanks.

FYI.. G.S. Mani sang this song during the rasikas concert a couple of years back. I can not locate the recording currently.

Here are the modified lyrics:

Lji - I just sent you an email

Thank you Lakshmanji.

VKR,
I heard it several times. I hear the first syllables as 'karavAngi' and then it is difficult to hear the rest of it. Sorry, I draw a blank.

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 01 Sep 2009, 08:53

Arasi - it is param(an) Agi

smala · Post by **smala** » 01 Sep 2009, 08:54

Ravi, does "the sky-clad" (digambaranai) reference anything in particular -- I am not sure I have ever heard Lord Siva pictured thus. There are some Aghora beliefs that inform us of the darker forms of the Lord (variants of Bhairava) where he is said to be covered with ashes as he ravages cremation grounds in his rudra state but I'm not certain this is tantamount to being "sky-clad"......if there is a story behind this select wording, please let us in on it.

Or is it simply unfettered poetic imagination ?

VK RAMAN · Post by **VK RAMAN** » 01 Sep 2009, 09:01

arasi/rshankar: Thanks.

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 01 Sep 2009, 09:03

Shyamala - this is how I understand it:

In the darukavana episode, when Siva teaches the haughty ascetics their lesson, he appears as a handsome, naked man, running across the forrest - that is why he is digambaranAna cidambaran. When the ascetics summon a tiger and send it after him, he kills the tiger, skins it, and uses it as his lower garment (vyAghra carma dhara) - and later, when he becomes the gajasamhAra mUrti after killing gajamukhAsuran, he uses the elephant skin as his upper garment (gajacarmAmbaradhara).

Oh, that was quick and makes a lot of sense. Thanks ! Is the darukavana episode described in detail somewhere? Song or literary text ? Even your own account somewhere would be a good cross-reference - I am eager to know more.

Here you go:

Thanks, Ravi and Lakshman-ji for the lyrics.

Ravi,
I meant the words which come after paramanAgi.

smala · Post by **smala** » 03 Sep 2009, 04:21

Ravi, your mention of the "Darukavana" episode had me do some cruising -- I found he following which arrives at a general conclusion that the Darukavana (forest) lay to the south of the Vindhya range extending from modern state of Maharashtra - nowhere is it implied that the forests were anywhere in the vicinity of modern-day Chidambaram (which, we are told, was surrounded by mangrove (tillai) forests of yore)........

Any clarifications on how the Darukavana came to be associated with Chidambaram.....?

[quote]........

The Shiva Purana says Nageshvara is in the Darukavana, which is an ancient epic name of forest in India. Darukavana finds mention in Indian epics like kamyakavana, Dvaitavana, Dandakavana,etc.

According to a narrative, the Balakhilyas, a group of dwarf sages worshipped Shiva in darukavana for long time. To test their devotion and patience, Shiva came to the Darukavana as an digambara (nude) ascetic, wearing only Nagas[serpants] in his body. Wives of sages were attracted and ran after the ascetic, leaving back their husbands. Sages got very disturbed and frustruated with this............................

At present, there is a debate on location of epic forest Darukavana so as to identify the jyothirlinga of Nageswaram. Since no other important clues are left in the text which help in locating the place, 'Darukavana' remains as the vital clue.

The very name of Darukavana in text could be misread as 'Dwarakavana' to locate Jyotirlinga at Nageswara temple at Dwaraka. In fact there is no legendary forest at this part of dwaraka that finds mention in any of the india epics. In the narratives of Shri Krishna, we find mention of Somanatha and adjoining Prabhasa tirtha, but never there is any mention of 'Nageswara or Darukavana' in Dwaraka and outskirts.

Darukavana could be again misread as 'daruvana' [meaning deodar forest] by many to locate it in almora. Deodar (daru vriksha) is found in western Himalayas in abundance and is not found in peninsular India. According to the ancient treatise Prasadmandanam,

"ÃƒÂ Ã‚Â¤Ã‚Â¹ÃƒÂ Ã‚Â¤Ã‚Â¿ÃƒÂ Ã‚Â¤Ã‚Â®ÃƒÂ Ã‚Â¤Ã‚Â¾ÃƒÂ Ã‚Â¤Ã‚Â¦ÃƒÂ Ã‚Â¥Ã‚Â
