Natesha Kauthuvam & Ranganjali (Jaya Jaya Shambho) in Tamil scripture

[Juan Bustos]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to learn some lyrics of the Bharatanatyam repertory.
Here in rasikas i have founded lot of these lyrics, but almost of them are transcripted into latin alphabet.
I am not pretty sure about the language of certain items, but i would really like to learn more about the languages of South India. So, i been learning Tamil script as well.

That's why i would be really grateful if anyone could, first of all, tell me if the "Natesha Kauthuvam" and the Ranganjali (Jaya Jaya Shambho) are singed in Tamil or not, and if you could do it, share the lyrics in the original scripture.
Also, i learned the lyrics of a Shabdam (Sarasi Jakshulu), but i realized that the language it is not Tamil, so if ayone could share with me the lyrics of that Shabdam in the original scripture (telugu) i would be really grateful too.

Thank you all,

Here is the telugu script for the shabdam,*sarasijAkshulu*

సరసిజాక్షులు జలకమాడే తరుణమున నీ వచ్చటికి జని
సరిగ గోకులమెల్ల చేరుకొని తరువునెక్కి జూచు చుండుట దర్మమా
ఉట్టి మీదను పెట్టి తాగిన గట్టితనమిది గాదయ్యా
అల్ల లక్ష్మి వల్లభుడవై తొలి అల రేపల్లె లోపల
గొల్లపడుచుల గూడితివి అది చెల్లు నీకిది చెల్లునా
ఇలను నిను మది దలచి జూడగా నలుగురును నిను నగుదురనుచును
లలిత మలయాళమున భళి భళిరా శ్రీ పద్మనాభ సలామయ్యా

Thank you so much for the script, i really appreciate it. I think that it looks very short, is it the whole lyric of the Shabdam?

Thank you so much for that webpage, it looks very interesting. Thank you also for clear out the language of the Natesha Kauthuvam. The only problem is that i have founded lot of different transcriptions of the Kauthuvam, some people mark the features of the right pronunciation, but someother do not. Also, some people use the transcription like the way you do it , with capital letters and so on. But some other people do it with diacritic elements, so it confuses me more about the "original" (if that exist in fact) pronunciation.

I found the sahityam for the shabdam

on the internet.

It seems to be complete.

I agree that these are problems and they get amplified when people who do not know the language try to navigate their way around these compositions. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a formulaic way to deal with this. You will have to request clarification for each of compositions you are interested in individually; but if you do post them, I am sure we will all be able to help you out.
