Lyrics from Karnatik

P:sadA sAranga nayanE shrI sadAshivadayitE mAmava
sAranga nayanE - O doe-eyed
shrI sadAshivadayitE - beloved of Shiva
sadA - always
mAmava - protect me

A:sudhAkara kalAshEkhara kaumudImilita mandahAsE
- O one whose smile ('s brilliance) merges with the moonlight from your crest-jewel that is the crescent moon

C1: prEmajita jananAnta rINamartukE - ***
kAmAri manOranjani - O one who delights Shiva the enemy of Manmatha
vAmEtara pArshvapriya vibhavE - O glorious one with your beloved on your right
amara gaNahita kumArasambhavE -O mother of Kumara who

C2 : kailAsa dhavala dhAmani - In the white abode that is Kailasa
maNimaya-vallakInAdarasavilasanE - you enjoy the music of a gem-studded Veena
tAlalAsya para ramAvANi nanditE - O one delighted with Lakshmi and Saraswati who are engaged in Tala and graceful dance
vara dEva vanditE - saluted by the best of Devas

** (C1 ) Can someone check the lyrics frm any other source? I am unable to understand this phrase.

Rajani,

That was nice! So, vAma is left, but vAmEtara is right?

The first line of the caraNa 1 should read:

prEmajita jananAnta rINa bhartrukE kAmAri manOranjani

Thanks Ravi. Yes it is vAma+itara.

L-ji , thanks s lot. It makes sense now.

prEmajita jananAnta rINa bhartrukE - O one who won over with your love, your husband(bhartR) of the another birth .

Refers to Parvati marrying Shiva who she earlier married as Dakshayani.
