tArAdhi pAnana - kharaharapriyA - khaNDa CApu

Could someone correct my transliteration of this beautiful krithi by Dr. V.V. Srivatsa?

P - tArAdhipAnana dasharatha nandana
tAraka rAma jAyE janaka tanayE

A - apAra pArAvAra tAraNa kAriNi
dharaNi bhavahAriNi [?] dukha nivAraNi
[shringEri ? - almost certainly wrong] samudAyE shritajana phaladAyE
shravaNa manana gEyE shringagiri nilayE

C - danDaka kAnana vAsini suvAsini bhaNDAri bhanjani prabhAva vishvAsini
praCaNDa nAri parAshakti swarUpiNi danDadhara dashagrIva nAshini naLini
nirvikalpa kaivalya pradAyini mAnini viCitra maNi mAlini vishva vilAsini
kapIshAyudAyE kalahara kharaharapriyE karuNAlayE sadA shrIvatsa sahAyE

From the inferences made, this is a kr.ti on sItA. Does the term, "suvAsini" fit sItA, as I understand this term applys mainly to older married women?

Something looks amiss in the 3rd line of the anupallavi.

Shringagiri IS shringEri, and it is the residence of saraswati, and not of sItA.

ramakriya - in the rendition that I have, the 1st part of the 3rd line is not very clear , but 'shringagiri nilayE' is quite clear. Wonder what the reference is - maybe Sri Suryaprakash can shed more light on this krithi.

Well, the pallavi goes: "tArAdhi pAnana dasharatha nandana tAraka rAma jAyE janaka tanayE" but I guess based on your interpretation, this is probably stating that dEvi (in general) was born as the wife of the moon(king of the star's)-faced son of daSharatha , whose name gives liberation(from the fires of samsAra?)

What's more, the term, "kharaharapriyA," is most suited to sItA.

It is 'tArADhipa Anana' (tAra+adhipa+Anana)(Moon faced).
Kindly do not split it as 'tArAdhi pAnana'

suvAsini refers to any married woman, irrespective of age, and comes from the use of turmeric/kunkumam etc, which results in a sweet smell (su-vAsa)

Noted and fixed.

Hello Prashant!

Just missed seeing this thread altogether amidst the concerts. The sahityam for the song is :

P - tArAdhipAnana dasharatha nandana
tAraka rAma jAyE janaka tanayE

A - apAra pArAvAra tAraNa kAriNi
dharaNi bhavahAriNi [?] dukha nivAraNi
shrutikeerthi samudAyE shritajana phaladAyE
shravaNa manana dhyEyE shrungagiri nilayE

C - danDaka kAnana vAsini suvAsini bhaNDAri bhanjani prabhAva vishvAsini
praCaNDa nAri parAshakti swarUpiNi danDadhara dashagrIva nAshini naLini
nirvikalpa kaivalya pradAyini mAnini viCitra maNi mAlini vishva vilAsini
kapIshAyudAyE khalahara kharaharapriyE karuNAlayE sadA shrIvatsa sahAyE

Yes, the song is on Sita devi and a rare one at that. Hope you are now clear about "shruthikeerthi samudaaye"

With best wishes

Surya

ShrI Suryaprakash, thank you for claryfying the diety addressed. I wondered whether you could explain the part, "Shr.ngagiri nilayE" at the end of the anupallavi. Does this mean, sItA is none other than ShAradAmba, or does this refer to a different hill altogether?
