[jgdvk]

Hi all,

I need the exact word-to-word translation and meaning of this Malayalam devotional song very urgently. Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Thiruvaaranmula Krishna ninnomal
Thirumukham kanikandu nilkkumbol
Enne marakkunnen dhukham marakkunnu
Ellaam marakkunnu nyaan innellaam
Marakkunnu nyaan

Azhalil pedunnorkku karakeranaviduthe
Mizhiyile kaarunnyam mathiyallo
Eriyunna theeyilum kulirekaanaay
Narum chiriyonnu maathram mathiyallo

Aayittennormayil theliyenam
Aviduthe shyaamala komala vigraham
Akathaaril ennennum kaanenam

Lord Krishna of holy ARanmuLa temple,when I stay watching your lovely holy face, I forget myself,my sorrows and everything.
The mercy in your eye is enough for those who are traped in sorrow. your fragrant smile is enough to chill even in the flaming heat.
the (temple)compound of ARanmuLa should shine as the gOkulam in my memmory.The beautiful black idol of the temple should be seen in my inner mind.

Thank you so much for the detailed translation. It is going to be very useful to me.
I have actually never heard of the Aranmula temple before this. Would be blessed if I get a chance to visit!
Thanks!!!!

Thanks for providing the meaning of this lovely song, Palloorkar.

jgdvk, tiruvaranmula is one of the 108 Srivaishnava divya desams, sung by nammazhvar (~ 9th c.) as tiru ARan viLai in ten verses which are available here (in Roman script).


...the verses describe the beauty of the place, such as it being surrounded by water bodies, orchards and paddy & sugarcane fields, and having long fortified walls.
