Arunachalakavi Rama Naatakam

[Shalsie]

Could someone post the next song/ verse from AK's Rama naatakam, which would logically follow rAmanukku mannan muDi? I would like the lyrics and the meanings if possible please

[Lakshman]

I think this is the one:


rAman muDi (kaNNigaL). rAgA: asAvEri. Adi tALA.

1: rAman muDi shUDumenra pEimati unakku vandadu EdammA enna vAdammA aDi
shImATTi un piLLai bharatan kAmATTi AnAnE enna sheigaiyE ammA kaikaiyE
2: un maghan uRkillA vELai tan maghanai muDi shUTTa unninAL kOsalai eNNinAL anda

3: kaNNuLLa pOdallavE kaN kATSi enbadariyAyO kanniyE enna unniyE Arkkum
paNNiya payiril allavO puNNiyam teriyumaDi pAviyE endan AviyE
4: ODam viTTa Arum aDiccuDumenru shollum vArttai uLLadO peNNE illadO adupOl

Thanks PB.

This is a very long composition...are there any particular caraNams you are interested in?

[Shalsie]

I do realise its quite lengthy- my problem is though that my grasp of Tamil is quite terrible so I am not sure what each Charanam is about- if I could have a brief then I could tell you which ones would be useful for me for a more in depth meaning...!

[rshankar]

To get you started:
1: rAman muDi shUDumenra pEimati unakku vandadu EdammA enna vAdammA
aDi shImATTi un piLLai bharatan kAmATTi AnAnE enna sheigaiyE ammA kaikaiyE
Why (EdammA) has this madness (pEi madi), that (enra) rAma (rAman) should be crowned (muDi SUdum) taken possession (vandadu) of you (unakku)? Is it (enna) a sickness (vAtamA) [1]? Oh mighty lady (aDi SImATTi), mother (ammA) kaikEyi (kaikaiyE), what (enna) are you going to do (SeigayE), now that your (un) son (piLLai), bharata has become (AnAnE) a fool/pauper (kAmATTi)?

2: un maghan uRkillA vELai tan maghanai muDi shUTTa unninAL kOsalai eNNinAL anda
mannavanum aval shonna vArttai kaDavAmalunnai vAdittAn EdO bOdhittAn
At the time (vELai) when your (un) son (magan), the firebrand (uRkam), is not around (illA), kausalyA (kOsalai) thought/desired (eNNiNAL) and hatched (unninAL) the plot to get her (tan) son (maganai) crowned (muDi SUTTa), and that (anda) king (mannavanum), instead of dismissing (kaDavAmal) the words (vArttai) she (avaL) uttered (Sonna), is torturing/cutting (vAdittAn) you (unnai) up by telling you/instructing (bOdhittAn) you something (EdO) nonsensical.

3: kaNNuLLa pOdallavO kaN kATSi enbadariyAyO kanniyE enna unniyE
Arkkum paNNiya payiril allavO puNNiyam teriyumaDi pAviyE endan AviyE
Oh woman (kanniyE), aren't you aware (ariyAyO) that (enbadu) visions (kaN kATshi) exist only for the time (pOdallavO) one has (uLLa) eyes (kaN)? What (enna)? Think carefully/contemplate it deeply (unniyE). My (endan) stupid (pAviyE) [2] soul-mate (AviyE), one's merit (puNNiyam) can only be visualized (teriyumaDi) in the completed task (paNNiya payiril) [3], isn't it (allavO)?

[1] vAtam/vAdam can also mean argument
[2] pAvi is typically used to denote sinners, but in this instance, kUni is referring to kaikEyi as a woman of weak-intellect
[3] I have translated paNNiya payiril contextually - it may need refining.
