Chokkanathar Kauthuvam - Lyrics

[Jnatya]

Hello,

Does anyone have the lyrics and meaning for the Chokkanathar Kauthuvam in Misra chaapu? I would like to perform this piece, and that would be a great help.

Thanks!

[Lakshman]

Is it the same as naTEsa kauttuvam?

[Jnatya]

Hello Sir,

No it isn't. This kauthuvam, I believe, is by Thirugnana Sambhandar.

Don't know if you still need this. Here's my best attempt. Not sure about the word 'edethe' in line 5.

Sokkesar Kauttuvam
1. eesar adivithi nadana thanguku
dengu thenkayilasa tha thakita
2. siriththu muppuram eriththu madagari uriththu
purisadai viriththu vaigaiyil man sumandavar
3. aiyyer kaliyuga meyyar adiyavar thanga meniar thunga shankarar
4. ilagu pala kalvi gnana vachanamu viragu vilaikoori vengai puliuri
nariyai pari adanmeedil eriya dhakshinar umai lakshanar
5. valaiyal vitroru gnana sambandar edethe edireravae
neeriladhavar veeru pesiya
nipunar samanarai kazhuvil ettriya
needhi naayaganaa
nadhiyai madhiyai muditha veniyar
madhanai eriyara vizhiththa parvaiyar
madurai azagiya sokka nayaga
nadana mrudanga kauttuvame
katru nithamum ullam kalithida nithya manglamam

1. ISar aRivitta naTana tanguku dengu ten kayilAsa tatakiTa

The dance (naTana) that Siva (ISar) taught/announced/communicated (aRivitta) in Southern (ten) kayilAsa (i.e., the city of Madurai)

(rAgA: vasantA)
2. sirittu muppuram erittu, madakari urittu,
puriSaDai virittu, vaigaiyil maN sumandavar

(He) is the one who: 1) burned (erittu) the three cities of the demons (muppuram) just by smiling (sirittu); 2) skinned (urittu) an elephant on a rampage (madakari); 3) has his shining (puri) and matted locks (SaDai) let loose (virittu); 4) carried a load (sumandavar) of mud (maN) on the banks of the vaigai river (that was in floods).

(rAgA: SahAnA)
3. ayyar, kaliyuga meyyar aDiyavar, tanga mEniar, tunga Sankarar

The Lord (ayyar/ayyan), who 1) is the servant (aDiyavar) of true (meyyar) (devotees) in kaliyuga; 2) has a golden (tanga) complexion (mEniar); and 3) is the exalted/eminent (tunga) Sankara (the one who causes prosperity, the one who is auspicious)

(rAgA: shaNmukhapriyA)
4. ilagu pala kalvi jnAna vacanam, viRagu vilaikkURi, vEngai puliyuri,

(rAgA: madhyamAvati)
5. vaLaiyal viTRoru jnAna sambandar EgavE edir ERavE

nIti nAyakanAr

He is the one who 1) sold (viTRu) bangles (vaLayal); 2) caught up (ERavE) with jnAnasambandar as he tried to walk away (edir EgavE); 3) is the master (nAyakanAr) of justice and equity (nIti), who purified (kazhuvETRiya) the clever (nipuNa) Jains (samaNarai) who did not believe in Siva (nIRillAdavar - those that did not use vibhUti/tirunIR), and spoke (pEsiya) with a lot of swagger (vImbu)

6: nadiyai madiyai muDitta meNiyar
madanai eriya vizhitta pArvaiyar
madurai azhagiya sokka nAyaka
naTana migu tunga kautvamE
kaTRu nittamum mukaLittavar
