Namaskaram:

I would like the word for word meaning and words to the Mangalam from the NATYA SUDHA CD of the Bombay Sisters.

The mangaLa shlOkA is by Appiah Dikshitar.


Sahityam:
Shree Raamachandra Asritha Paarijaatha Samastha
Kalyaana Gunabhi Raama Seetha Mukha Amboruha
Sanchareeka Nirantaram Mangala Maata Notu

Meaning: (Adapted From: Perfecting Carnatic Music, Level 1 by Chitraveena Ravikiran)
Shree Raamachandra is like the Paarijaatha (wish-fulfilling)
tree to all ("samastha")
his devotees ("asritha").
He pleases one and all with his divine ("kalyaana")
qualities ("guna").
He is like the bee
("sanchareeka")
that flies over the lotus
("amboruha")
that compared to the face
("mukha")
of Sita. May He grant
("maata notu")
benediction
(i.e. bless us) ("mangala")
forever ("nirantaram").
