shrI nandikEshvaram. rAgA: kAmbhOji. k/cApu tALA. Mishukrishna.
P: shrI nandikEshvaram cintaya sadA hrdaya
A: Anandakaram hrdaya bhAvita mahEshvaram anupama shivAnanda yOga sudhAkaram
C: tApasa shilAda muni tOSita sadAshiva krpA samudita kumAra vrSarUpa dhAriNam
shrI pArvati ramaNavAha nigamAkrtyam shrI mIsukrSNa bhajamAnanda rUpiNam

A couple of corrections -

1. cintaya sadA hrdaya seems appropriate.


2. tApasa-shilAda-muni etc..

shilAda is a name of the Sage who is said to be Nandi's father.

The last line has something wrong. I am not able to correct it.

keerthi: Thanks for the corrections.
The last few words of the caraNa are:
... shrI mIsukrSNa bhajamAnanda rUpiNam
I have edited my earlier post.

[sathya_vrathan]

last line is:
shri mIsukrSNa paramAnanda rUpiNam
(from Seetha Narayanan mAmi's singing)
keerthi: why not the first line be sung as chintayE sadA??

EVERYONE,

Thanks a ton!

keerthi: why not the first line be sung as chintayE sadA??

It will have to be cintayE sadA hRdayE; or else cintaya sadA hRdaya. Any other combination is unidiomatic.

The former means 'I contemplate in my heart', latter means 'O heart! think of '(Nandikeswara).
