Sri Maha Ganapathe Ninnu Nera Nammitiraa - Behag

[HarishankarK]

Hi,
I need lyrics and meaning to subject composition of Sri Garbhapurivasar. Audio clip is available in sangeethapriya under Dr. R Ganesh' concert uploaded as of yesterday.
He's sung it so beautifully. Is the language Telugu or Kannada??

[rshankar]

nera nammiti rA sounds like telugu.

[Lakshman]

The song is by Garbhapurivasa.

shrI mahA gaNapati. rAgA: behAg. rUpaka tALA.

P: shrI mahA gaNapati ninnu nera nammitirA
A: nA manOrathambu losagE nerathAtavu nIvani nE

2: parama bhakta varaduDanE birudunu gala karuNAkara garbhapurI dAsa raKSakuDani nE

[aaaaabbbbb]

A correction::

nA manOrathambu losagE *neradAtavu* nIvani nE

[aaaaabbbbb]

the wishes of the virtuous devotees

the ocean of mercy,compassionate,

[Lakshman]

Thanks Savitri.

[rshankar]

Smt. Savitri - thank you. I do think that here, 'tanaya' is used to mean scion or descendant, because ganESa is not himavAn's (girISa) son.

And, I think garbhapuri dAsa is the aMkita of the composer...

[aaaaabbbbb]

rshankar jI, thank you.

Yes, *tanaya* means:: belonging to one's own family,

race , offspring , child.

In Sri Purandara dasara devaranama, *gajavadana bEDuve*

the reference to ganeSha is *gowrI tanaya*.

The same reference is in the SrI Tyagaraja Swamy keertana,

*girirAja sutA tanaya*.

The ankita of the composer is *garBhapuri vAsa*.

[HarishankarK]

Thank you Lakshman ji, aaaaabbbbb and all. I fell in love with this song the very first time i heard it. Usually behag is presented in a lighter way in compositions. But this one is really classical. Also Irakkam Varaamal is good.

[keerthi]

tanaya can only mean son.

The words girisha and girIsha are epithets of the hill-dwelling shiva. [vide tyAgarAja's niravadhisukhada, wherein rAma is girisha-vinuta and Muttiah bhAgavatars song from the 108 set on mahAbalEswara - girIsham mahEsham]

Hence, girisha-tanaya is a suitable title for gaNEsha.

garbhapuri is the Sanskrit transcreation of karu-Ur.

[aaaaabbbbb]

keerti Ji,

DhanyavadagaLu.

Regards.

[rshankar]

Keerthi - thank you.

[PUNARVASU]

In he Saint composer' krithi, girirja sutA tanaya, he calls Ganesha as the son (tanaya) of the daughter (sutA) of Mount himavAn(girirAja)

[kmrasika]

In he Saint composer' krithi, girirja sutA tanaya, he calls Ganesha as the son (tanaya) of the daughter (sutA) of Mount himavAn(girirAja)

Interestingly, in the commencement of the kṛṣṇalīlā taraṅgiṇī, nārāyaṇa tīrtha's opening ślōka on gaṇēśa, "himagiritanayāpatyaṁ" also ends with "girirājasutāsuta sūnuḥ".

The ankita of the composer is *garBhapuri vAsa*.

keerthi is correct - they are a Quartet - Garbhapuri - refering to karuvūr - the late T. Viswanathan had compiled together their compositions with notation in a book under the title, "garbhapuri kīrtanaigaḷ." brōva samayamidē in gaurī manōhari is also a piece by one of the four.
