Meaning - Kande Karunanidhiya

[amrvallz]

Hello all,

I am learning to dance to the Dasarapada 'Kanden Karunanidhiya' by Purandharadasa.

Can someone help me with the word by word meaning of this Shiva Stuthi?

If possible, I would like to know the mythological references made herein as well. Purandharadasa cites many popular stories in his description of Shiva.

I can provide the Kannada lyrics.

Thank you.

Regards,
Amrutha

The general translation::
I have perceived the treasure trove of kindness,hara, The Lord,who has placed gangA on his head,the
opulence of the garland of skulls,the variety of the firespewing eyes on his forehead.{p}
*********************
He, who has worn the skin of an elephant as his cloth,He,who is the Lord of the world of gauri,He,
who has mesmerised the three worlds,He with the three eyes,He with the earrings of snakes,{c1}
*********************
He,who is adorned with the sacred ash,He who is in the grasp of His devotees,He is named as
pashupati,{Lord of animals}, He is the One, who has the moon on his crown,He is Shiva, hara. {c2}
***********************
He with the black hued neck,He is hara,He is the confidant of the Father of cupid. He has
triumphed over the three cities in anger,He is adorned with the snake,He is Shiva, hara{c3}
*************************
He grants the boons wished for,He nurtures devotees with affection,He meditates on rAmanAma,He
has destroyed the consort of ratidEvi, He is Shiva{c4}
*************************
On this earth,He resides at pampA,so called kAshi of the south,He instructs {teaches} the tArakamantra. He is purandara
viTThala, He is hara, the One who nurtures the devotees{c5}
