Where to find meanings for lyrics composed by some Carnatic

Post by Meenalochani »

Dear members,

I am finding it difficult to find the meanings of the lyrics of krithis of some of the composers like Muthuswamy Dikshitar, Syama Sastry, Swathi Tirunal etc. The website Thyagaraja Vaibhavam provides meanings of Thyagaraja krithis in a detailed manner and is very helpful to me. I am looking for meanings to the krithis eg. Sumasayaka and I cannot find it on the web. Can some give some helpful suggestions?

Thank you.

Official Swathi Thirunal website has lyrics and meaning but the lyrics are in malayalam but meaning is given in english. Here it is: http://www.swathithirunal.in/linkfiles.htm

Sri V.K Raman, Sri Bagyamananthu41,

Thank you both very much for providing some of the requested sites. Hopefully I could get meanings for Patnam Subramanya Iyer (my favourite composer) and others also. Knowing the meanings will help rendition of the songs correctly especially for a Tamil speaking person.
