Malayamarutha varnam - deity identification

Post by HarishankarK »

Namastey,

I need help to identify the deity in the Malayamarutham Varnam (Ganamrutha Varnamalika).

I tried real hard but could not identify but some clues given here

Sree Gunuturi pureesha - which means it's on a male deity and presiding lord of Guntur (Andhra Pradesh).

Charikamula suka madhukaramulu kokilamulu - this means I suppose in one hand the lord holds sukha (parrot) and the other kokilam (cuckoo),

To which God is this addresses?

This varnam is beautiful.

This seems to be a padavarnam.

The word ibharaja varada in anupallavi

clearly indicates the deity as vishnu

Will clarify the meaning for the line later

I tried but I did not find an audio.
Thanks for clarifying that the God is Vishnu. I also want to know which temple deity is this varnam addressed to.

There is a temple in Lalapet Guntur.

It is dedicated to Sri Jagannatha, Sri Anjaneya and Sri Venkateshwara Swamy

The temple was built in 1717.

Probably this varnam is dedicated to Sri venkateswara swamy.

The meaning for the line *shArikamulu*::

the chirping sound of the shArika [talking bird],parrots,

honeybees,koels with their calls.

Thank you . In the Mukthayi swara sahitya, I have :
ElarA ika EejAlamu CAlurA
tami TalanurA vadErA palukaRa
nirAdaramu ninnu sannithi salupaga
nalukutamElatarA palumAru

"Ika, Vadera, and sannithi" are the few words that vary in my version of the Ganamrutha Varna Malika book. Does the meaning change from the version you had sent me?
Thank you for your help!

:
ElarA ika EejAlamu CAlurA

tami TalanurA vadErA palukaRa

nirAdaramu ninnu sannithi salupaga

nalukutamElatarA palumAru {Your version}

**********

ElarA ika yIjAlamu cAlurA

tami tALanu rAvadErA palukarA

nirAdaramu ninnu sannidhi salupaganu

aluguTamElaTarA palumAru.{your version corrected}

***************

ElarA yIjAlamu cAlurA

tami tALanu rAvadEmirA palukarA

nirAdaramu ninu sannidhi salupaganu

aluguTamEmirA palumAru {the version I sent}


****************

You can see that there is not much of a difference.

Hope it is clear.
