Post by srikant1987 »

Can anyone please translate the caraNam? (For completeness, the whole kriti could be translated.)

Here's the lyrics.

pallavi

koniyADina nApai kOpamu sEyamEra
(koniyADina)

anupallavi

ninnu mincina daivamu lEdani nirantaramu nI kIrtini nentO
(koniyADina)

caraNam

Meaning:I am extolling you ,why are you angry with me?[p]
I am eternally applauding your fame,none can surpass you[a.p]
Oh strong one,delighted with the devotion of mArkaNDEya,in a hurry,
you annihilated kAla{yama] with your foot .showered kindness[on mArkaNDEya]
not only that,when the devas[kratu bhujAs,*partakers of a sacrifice*] unable to withstand
the effect of kAlakUTa [poison] assembled,pleaded and requested,just like that you swallowed it
nIlakanTha,The lord of kALahasti,saviour of the wise in the universe,
the axe for the forest of sins,higher than the highest,gOpAladAsa,kind hearted,[saying thus][caranam]
