Hi everyone,
I have been looking extensively online for the lyrics and meaning of the Shabdam 'Thandai' in Raga Malika, Tala- Misra Chapu. Could anyone please provide me with this information? Also, are there any particular websites that provide lyrics and translation of most bharatnatyam dances in general?
Thank you for your help!

Thandai Muzhanga salangai kulunga thavazhnthu varum Muruga-Tamil
talattu patinnil pillaiyai enmun thavi varum Muruga
thavi varum Muruga
I have heard it some time ago and if I remember right had noted the lyrics . The Shapdam provides an imagery of Muruga growing up (from balamuruga to valli thirumanam etc)
Is this the one you are looking for ?

Some serious search in google does indeed show that it is Sri. V.P. Dhananjayan's composition. here is an excerpt from their Bharatakalanjali website
"Shanmuga Sabdam
Based on a poem by Shemmanarkoil Shanmugam originally tuned to folk music, it was retuned by Madurai T Sethuraman on classical lines and titled as Shanmuga or Muruga Sabdam. Dhananjayan choreographed it especially for Sumathi, their first student at Bharata Kalanjali and she performed it at her arangetram. The good vibes generated by this item prompted the poet to contribute more lyrics, which were incorporated.
"One evening, I was struggling to compose a piece on Shanmuga, I wanted something different in the composition. Suddenly, there was a cyclonic burst of thunder, wind and rain and I terminated the class. Then, as I came down the stairs, I saw a picture of Lord Shanmuga with 6 faces, come loose from an old calendar and fall on the lower step. I almost stepped on it. I was suddenly overcome by inspiration and keeping the picture in front of me, I completed the composition in about half an hour. Even today I feel the sanctity of the item when my students perform it."

Thank you for the intricate translation of the lyrics. I could have never done it myself! Really appreciate all your efforts and this will certainly help me in choreographing for this shabdam! Thanks once again!
Best wishes
ps- Did not realize until you mentioned that it was originally choreographed by Sri Dhananjayan!
