Lyrics-sikkil singAravEla (varnam) - rItigOwLa

srinpraveen · Post by **srinpraveen** » 28 Jun 2007, 11:56

Hi. Recently I heard a song in Reethi Gowlai sung by Sikkil Gurucharan. It goes like this. "Sikkal Singaravela muthukumara sikkal singara vela". Can I have the full lyrics, talam, composer of the song and if possible an audio pic from the net of the song? I google searched for it but in vain!

Sikkil (as in his name-the home town of Gurucharan's family) where the murugan temple is situated.
'Sikkal' would mean something different in thamizh: complication, difficulty.

It may be another composition of the Sikkil Sisters. He's related to them...

His grandmothers. Do they (or one of them) compose? Know of any other songs of theirs?

The place name is sikkal. sikkil is a corruption. Papanasam Sivan also says "sikkal singAravEla guhanE" in nekkurugi.

The composition is a varNa by Sikkil Sisters.
rasikas.org's own ram has this in his blog here:

So, it IS complicated

Thank You all (esp-LYRICS GURU LAKSHMANJI).
Though the song starts off with "sikkal", its a nice soothing song...superb starter in reethi gowlai....I really hope someone has the lyrics of the song because I am not able to catch hold of an audio pic of the song anywhere in the net to capture the lyrics....

>>Legend has it that Muchukunda Cholan, associated with the Tiruvarur legend built this temple.Vasishta is said to have prayed to Shiva to recover his Kamadhenu, whose milk flowed & froze to form butter. Fashioning a Lingam out of Butter (Venneippiran), Vasishtar vainfully tried to move it; it had gotten stuck (Sikkal)<<

--Source: templenet.com

sikkikkoNDadAl sikkal enappaTTadu (since it got stuck, the name sikkal stuck to the place). The weird Englishman (sorry nickH!) who could not pronounce the name "sikkal" (elementary my dear John), wrote it down as "sikkil".

Recently I heard this varnam sung by Sikkil Gurucharan in his album December Season 2005. Beautiful piece indeed. I came across this thread while doing a search. I have the audio. Mr. Lakshman, have you been able to get the notation for this varnam since 2007? Thanks.

I have only managed to get hold of the lyrics. Corrections welcome.

Thanks you very much, Mr. Lakshman. I will try listening to the song and see if I can identify the chittaswaras. If I am successful I will post it on the web. Thanks again.

Some possible corrections : (to do corrections there is no sikkal (difficulty)

P: sikkal singAra vElA (tiru) muthukumArA (in line with vElA)

A: annai kai vEl vAngi sUranai vadam seidu valli deivayAnayODu kATSi tarum pUraNA ( in line with anthi prASa ' muthukuArA"

'Sikkal' would mean something different in thamizh: complication, difficulty.

'Sikkal'(tamil noun) would also mean 'trap'. From this noun comes, 'sikkichA/sikkiyadA (got trapped or what)

PUNARVASU · Post by **PUNARVASU** » 05 Feb 2009, 10:24

Here the 'sikkal' is actually 'sikkil' the place -it is near nAgappaTTinam; the singAravElan is the deity here. The sikkil sisters also are from this place.
There is the song 'nekkururugi' in AbhOgi-P.Sivan ,I think-where he sings 'sikkal singAra vEla guhanE'.
The topic title says 'sikkil singAravEla'

V_ANNASAMY · Post by **V_ANNASAMY** » 05 Feb 2009, 10:32

When googled, it showed 'Sikkal, near nAgappaTTinam' (Source templenet.com).

Possibly the very name Sikkal il (illAda ) to mean ' not having difficulty, which has become 'sikkil' in spoken language in recent days.

PUNARVASU · Post by **PUNARVASU** » 05 Feb 2009, 12:33

or it could be sikku+il-(sikku ,sidukku means 'tangles'-normally used with reference to hair) rhyming with pikku,pidungal.

Thanks. I have added the svarAs. Some please recheck and correct.

Thanks for all your comments. Mr. Lakshman, I compared your swaras with mine and made a couple of corrections. Any more corrections are welcome. Here is my edited version.

See Post #9 in this same topic above, where Mahakavi has explained that it should be Sikkal and not Sikkil. However, even Sikkil Sisters and Sikkil Gurucharan use Sikkil and Sikkal!
