[VK RAMAN]

I need the lyrics. Thanks.

[Lakshman]

kalpakAmbikai nI. rAgA: behAg. rUpaka tALA

P: kalpakAmbikai nIyallavO kazhaliNai paNi aDiyavarkkaruL
A: alpa madi konDunnaiyum unNdan aDiyAraiyum pazhippavarkkum
C1: piraman mudalerumbIrAi prANi kODigat-kannai enru
peyaruruvam anandamoDu pizhai porukkum deivam nI amba
2: hari magizhum sahOdari kapAli manOhari irum
bhavap-piNiyaghaTri amba rAmadAsanukkaruLum dEvi

[VK RAMAN]

Thank you Lakshmanji.

[rshankar]

Small corrections:
AP: undan, not unNdan
Only one caraNam -
biraman and not piraman

No idea what kODigat-kannai means...

[Pratyaksham Bala]

.
kODigatkannai > kODigatku (=kODigaLukku) + annai
(Sanskrit: kOTi; Tamil kODi)

You are the Mother (annai) to crores of (kODigatku) beings (prANi) - from (mudal) Brahma (biraman) to (IrAi) ant (eRumbu)
.

[rshankar]

PB - Thank you..I thought so to, but in that case, shouldn't it be kODigaTku and not kODigatku?

[Pratyaksham Bala]

Yes!
It should be kODigaTku.

[VK RAMAN]

when Sanjay sings this line as:
bhavap-piNiyaghaTri "yEzhai" rAmadAsanukkaruLum dEvi

[rshankar]

yEzhai is perfectly fine too!

[arasi]

'Ezhai rAmadAsanukkaruLum' is typically PS and flows well. The elongated kuzhaivu in Ezhai can't be brought out in AmbA in that particular place in the line.

May the title of the thread be changed to kaRpagAmbikai nI 'allavO'? That's how I've heard it and like the impact of the word 'allavO?' To me, 'allavA?' loses the wonderment factor. Very personal view, of course.

Here's an example of Sivan saying all that he wants to say in words with the help of the musical phrases they are conveyed in.
