That was a really interesting write-up, Punarvasu. Hopefully someone will post the lyrics.

Nice to see you back.

shyama-priya, here you go:

vEyuRu thOLi pangan vidamunda kandan
miganalla viNai thadavi
mAsaRu thingaL gangai mudimEl aNindhu-en
ulamE pugundha adhanAl
~nAyiRu thingaL sevvAy budhan viyAzham veLLi
sani pAmbirandum uDanE
AsaRu nalla nalla avai nalla nalla
adiyAravarkku migavE. 1
BEING who has as HIS equal half the WOMAN, the Umai of bamboo-like frame has implanted Himself within me in the archetypal forms as the ONE who plays the faultless Veena, and as the ONE wearing the pure Half Moon and Ganges on His tuft. And because of this for devout people (like me) the forces like the ~naayiRu (Sun), thingaL (Moon), sevvAy (Mars), budhan (Mercury), viyAzham (Jupiter), veLLi (Venus), Sani (Saturn), and the Snakes Ragu and Keetu will NOT do anything evil but only good, the really good.

viDam uNDa kaNThan - one with the throat (kaNThan) that swallowed (uNDa) poison (viDam)...

What does tOLi mean exactly? vEyuru tOLi - one with shoulders (tOLi) like/in the form of (uru) a slender bamboo (vEy)?

yes. azhagu + i = azhagi, tOL + i = tOLi :) One who has shoulders like bamboo. (guess indicates slender + strong)

PS: It has been at least two decades since I dove into Tamil songs like this. thanks!

Last year at about this time Sri Coolkarni covered the base for Sri Lakshman-ji when away - now you are subbing well, while also holding the fort on the translation front.


Migha nanri.
