Thank you so much.

This pArkadal alaimElE was immortalized by Smt MLV after she sang in the move rAja desingu, Incidentally I have heard Smt MLV's outstanding rendition in her super hit tukkada segment when I was a teen aged boy.Smt MLV has sung this without cittaswaras.

THe cittaswaras were added by vidwan SuryaprakAsh, incidentally I bought his cd by name "The legendary melodies by SuryaprakAsh". This rendition by SuryaprakAsh with cittaswaras is brilliant and he has delivered in an immaculate fashion.Incidentally this effort of adding cittaswaras was just added half an hour before recording of his cd, so it was almost like kalpanaswaras that became cittaswaras.

Lji,
I am assuming your post in carnatica that vocalist has given above has the cittaswaras that suryaprakAsh has tuned or is it different.??

[Lakshman]

It is my earlier post that Vocalist has reproduced and the transliteration is indeed from Suryaprakash's divine rendering.

thanx a ton...

Ravi,
Can I request you to provide the meaning for this song.

Ambika,

Here you go. Forgive me if some of the explanations seem unnecessarily detailed.

Arasi/Rajani can fix errors!

Oh Lord (dEvA) ranganAthA, you recline (paLLikoNDAi) on (mElE) a couch/mattress/bed (aNaiyin) formed from the coils of the snake (pAmbu) AdisESa on (mElE) the waves (alai) of the milky ocean (pArkaDal)[1]! I request you (nI) to grant (tA) me the enlightenment/knowledge (gnyAnam) to constantly (nidam = daily) seek (tEDi) your (undan) lotus-like feet (padamalar), and ecstatically (paravaSamODu = with ecstacy)[2] sing (pADi) your praises, and thus, attain (peravE) salvation (gati).

Your fame (pugazh) grew (OngiDavE) by leaps and bounds even as you assumed (uTrAi) the form (kOlam) of a tortoise (kUrma) with (koNDa) a (oru) hunched-up (kUnuDaya) carapace (ODu) to support/bear (tAngiDavE) the weight of the mandara (mandara) mountain (giri tannai) which was used by the gods (vAnavar – residents of the skies/heavens) and the demons (dAnavarum) to churn (kaDainda) the ocean (Azhi) for the nectar of immortality (amudam).

Heeding the pleas of mother earth (bhUdEvi) when she appealed to you as (enavE) the protector (rakSakA) of all (sakala) living beings (jIva), including the destitute and powerless (dIna), you are the one who assumed the form (vaDivAnavanE) of the boar (varAha) and lifted (tUkkiya) the earth (nAnilattai) from deep wihin (uL) the stormy (pAyAi ezhu)[5] seas (kaDal) where the evil (hInan), heinous sinner (paDu pAvI) named (ennum) hiraNyAkSan had hidden (maraitta) her.

To remedy (nIngavum) the problem (tollai) created (nErnda) when prahlAda, his son (avan piLLai) spoke thus (iyambudal) in reply (iDai marittE) when he heard (kETTu) his father hiraNyakaSipu repeatedly demand to know where (engu) hari was/existed (irukkirAn): 'hari is/exists (iruppAn) anywhere and everywhere (engum) – for example, he exists (iruppAn) even in this (ingum) pillar (tUNil)', you are the one who became (Ana avatAranE) the fearsome narasimha (narasingam) and threateningly rose (pongu SinavampaNargaL)[6] from the pillar with a gigantic (bhUta) body (uDambum), displaying a belly (tondiyODu) and small intestines (maNikkuDalum) indicating a beast that has just arisen (ezhundu) from having eaten (tinru) meat/flesh (taSai), and sharp claws (nakham) capable of (konDu) tearing (kIrum) flesh apart and spilling (SindavE) blood (udiram)[7]. Oh wielder (dharanE) of the conch (Sankha) and discuss (chakra), savior of the helpless (upakAranE), the very basis of everything (AdhAranE)!

Oh vAmanA, you are the one who came (vandu) asking for (kETTu) three (mu) small steps (aDi) of land (maN), and went on to measure (aLandu) the earth (maN), and the heavens (viN), and finally, mastered (aLanda) the mighty (mA) king bali by placing your third foot on his head (Siram) for the third step.

tandai Aviyai pirittadanAl sUriyakula vairiyAgha amainda parasurAman AnavanE

You became (AnavanE) paraSurAma and avenged the power-hungry kshatriyAs who snatched (parittadanAl) your father's (tandai) life (Aviyai), by becoming (amainda) the enemy (vairiAga) of the descendants of the solar dynasty (sUrya kula)

(rAgA: kAnaDA)
dEvargaLai shirai mITTu rAvaNAdi uyir mAitta dasharatha shrI rAma avatAranE

As the one who took the form of (avatAranE) of SrI rAma, the son of daSaratha, you released (mITTu) the gods (dEvarGal) from prison (Sirai), and killed (uyir mAitta) rAvanA and his hordes (rAvaNAdi)


bhUmi tanillE pughazhayum uzhavOr kalapai tanai bhujamadil tAngi ninra balarAmanE

You became (AnavanE) balarAma, who stood (ninra) weilding (tAngi) the plough (kalappai tanai) used by laborers/farmers (uzhavOr) who are supremely worthy (azhayum) of praise (pugazh) on (tanilE) this earth (bhUmi), in his hands (bhujamadil).

You were born (avadharittOnE) in the month of AvaNI (the fifth month in the lunar tamizh calendar – Aug-Sept), at midnight (ardhjAma vELayilE), eight days after the full moon (ashTamI), when rOhiNi ruled the sky, in mathurA. After you were transported to/reached (mEvi) gOkul (AyarpADi – the village of cowherds), you became the darling son (lAlA) of nanda and yaSOdA, and the delighter (lOlA) of countless (padinAyiram) gOpIs, leading them to ecstatic bliss (paramAnda). To rid (tIrka) this earth (bhU) of the burden (bhAram) of evil-doers, you are the one with sterling charater (SilA) who conducted (muDitta) the war (pOr) of mahAbhArat (bhArata). Oh gOpAlakrishNA, you are the protector (paripAlanE) and the beginning (Adi) and the end (mUlA) of everything!

To allow righteousness (dharmam) to flourish (tazaikkavE) and destroy (azhikkavE) the evil kaliyug (kaliyugam) which has become (Agiya) a mere stage (mEDai) for the drama/shenanigans (nATakam) of individuals who will not hesitate/flinch (anjiDadavar) from committing (Seiya) heinous acts like the 5 (panca) deadly sins (b(p)Adhakam) [8]; unnecessary arguments (vAdum) and cruel (koDiya) deceit (vanjakam); or creating a disruption in friendship (mitrabhEdakam), you (will) became (become) (avatAran) kalki, the very epitome/form of (uruvAgiya) love (anbu). Oh handsome Lord (SingAran) ranganAtha, you (nIyE) are all the 10 avatAtas (dasAvatAran) in one.

[1] pArkaDal = pAl + kaDal (kshIrAbdhi) – could refer to the milky way as well, I suppose.
[2] paravaSam literally means you relinquish control over yourself, and hand it to others (para)
[3] In some versions (MLV's in particular), pAdhakan is used here as well.
[4] mEdini – means earth to be precise, but, contextually, I think it means brahmA here as the creator of the earth, and the keeper of the vEdAs.
[5] pAyAi ezhu – something that rises as a sheet – a pAi is something that is spread on the floor.
[6] SinavampaNargaL – I have translated this contextually – I do not know its exact meaning.
[7] EDITED: See Rajani's post # 10.
[8] Five deadly sins are EDITED: See Rajani's post #19..

[arasi]

Ravi,
You are amazing. And all the patience you have to do the work and with ERC too!

6: my guess is, Sina (angry)+ampaNar (the demon ampaNan and company).
ampaNam is the sea, so makes sense.

[Rajani]

Ravi: Good to read your translation. Some minor points

udiram is the Tamil form of "rudhiram" (blood) in Sanskrit. Sahodara comes from "udara" which means belly/womb as in lambodara(long-bellied) etc.

The sins you have listed actually are part of the six great (inner) enemies. The 5 pancha-maha-paatakas are swarnasteyam(stealing gold), brahmahatti(killing a bramin) etc.

[PUNARVASU]

Yes, As Rajani says,
'sahOdar/sahOdari'-means one who has shared the same womb-literal translation- ie sibling

[rshankar]

Rajani/Punarvasu:

Thank you for pointing that out! - In these days of surrogate motherhood, and rent-a-womb businesses, these definitions may have to be changed! - Although it is possible to interpret the dEvakI - rOhiNI - balarAma incident as embryo transfer/surrogate motherhood!:P

Rajani:
What are the five sins then? - you have mentioned 2 of them....and what is the 6th inner enemy?

[Vocalist]

Hinan Hiranyakshan...Inan Hiranyakshan...

I often think it's the latter - is there a meaning for the latter, or would that not make sense?

[rshankar]

Since there was no letter for the sound 'ha' in 'Sen'tamizh, it gets replaced by g/k (the numerous mOgans and mOkans of the world will serve as evidence) or gets dropped. Therefore, hInan is the same as Inan...another example is probably when mahA (big/great) morphs into mA (or vice versa)...

[Amraman]

Ravi,
Awesome job. Thanks for the meaning and the minute details. They 'll help me a lot for choreographing each sequence. I am teaching this to my students and wanted to give them the correct meaning as far as possible. After this I hope tackle and teach one the padavarnams that you have explained so beautifully.
Thanks are also due Arasi, Rajani Punarvasu for their insights and clarifications.
Ambika

[rshankar]

Ambika,

You are welcome!

Ravi

[Rajani]

The six inner enemies (ari-shad-varga) - kAma-krOdha-mOha-lObha-mada-mAtsaryam
On Panca-mahA-pAtakas - later

[arasi]

Rajani,
Good to see your posts. I suppose you are extremely busy balancing the new career with home life and young children...

[Rajani]

Arasi : You are of course right. Really kind of you to remember. Visiting rasikas site atleast for a few minutes is like a tonic everyday.

The five heinous sins( panCa-mahA-pAtakas)
1.brahma-hatti (killing a Brahmin)
2. surApAnam ( drinking intoxicating stuff)
3. svarNa-stEyam (stealing gold)
4. guru-talpa-gamanam (adultery with one's guru's wife)
5. association with anyone who has one of the above

Source:deivathin kural. HH explains that these 5 are the most despicable in each category eg killing anyone is heinous, but especially a brahmin who is generally unarmed/weak, similarly gurupatni is like a mother, gold is goddess Lakshmi's form etc.

[rshankar]

Thank you Rajani..I will edit my post with refernce to your post.

Hope you partake more of the rejuvenating tonic!

[PUNARVASU]

I am reminded of the sloka wherein the five mothers(for a man) are mentioned.
GurupatnI, rAjapatnI, jyeshtapatniI thathaiva cha
patnI mAthA swamAtha cha pancahithE mAtharasmrthAH

The wife of the guru, the wife of the king, the wife of the elder brother, mother of the wife and one's own mother are considered the five mothers(for a man).,

[Vocalist]

Thank you.

[PUNARVASU]

quote=rshankar]Rajani/Punarvasu:

Probably we have to coin new words!
'nija sahodara'- and 'para sahodara'
nija can be taken as true as we say in Tamil or as 'one's own'-as in sanskrit
'para'-meaning other!

[rshankar]

LOL, Punarvasu!

[vgvindan]

There seems to be one exception to the rule of 'saha-udara/udari'. Vishnu and Parvathi are called 'saha-udara' - But they have no mother.

[rshankar]

VGV, the concept arises out of the story of krishNA's birth -
yOgamAyA - the girl that was born to yaSOdA
krishNA/vishNu - born to dEvaki

And you are correct - they did not share a womb.

And if interpreted literally, other than lakSman and Satrughna, the other 'brothers' (half-brothers) can't be considered 'sahOdaragaL'!

[arasi]

Rajani,
Yes, doctor's orders too...

[PUNARVASU]

And if interpreted literally, other than lakSman and Satrughna, the other 'brothers' (half-brothers) can't be considered 'sahOdaragaL'!

I suppose it was more an 'agraja-anuja' relationship they shared than a 'sahodara' relationship.

[vgvindan]

rs,
If you read the Devi Bhagavatham, you will find another version. 'yOgamAya' concept precedes Krishnavatara. Even before Matsya avatara of Vishnu - Hayagriva - you will find reference about HER(?) - refer to slaying of madhu-kaiTabha.

Those who want to know more about R.Suryaprakash, who has rendered pArkaDal alaimElE with ciTTasvarAs, can access his site here:

I have received the corrected version of this song from Suryaprakash R. He has used a colour scheme to indicate several things and so I have uploaded the file on the net instead of posting it here. Here is the link:

Here is the original MLV/Padmini version:

And this is supposed to have the telugu version that was inspired by this one, an MLV/Kamala version:

http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=i9WvS85B_ ... re=related

[rshankar]

Looks like this song was the basis of a thematic performance 'vishNum vandE jagatgurum' by spandanA, a NJ based troupe:

That was a wrong link - here is the correct one for pArkkaDal alai mElE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YwbIJdAqn0

[rshankar]

An absolutely scintillating version of this song - easily the most imaginative and energetic choreography that I have ever seen. I really wish they had worked with Sri Suryaprakash's version with the ciTTasvaras - the scope for nriTTa by these talented young men would have made it even more sensational. I loved the first and last formation showing AdisEshan...the churning of the milky ocean, the hiraNyakashipu episode...I am a fan of Sri Shankar Kandasamy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsMwiwTBmzQ

[vasanthakokilam]

Indeed. Quite imaginative interpretation and choreography. Thanks Ravi for the link.

[smala]

An awesome dance and thanks for the great link - the tearing apart of Hiranyakashyapu was particularly effective.

Don't know if this has already featured here on rasikas, thought I'd share it anyway, I found his own composition, Shankarabharanam, which he performs himself.....Such an absolute delight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb5RAyBivWo

Also found this wonderful link with pictures of Sri Shankar Kandasamy and his article : Bharatnatyam: Identity, Tradition and Modernity.

http://etalkraviceyon.blogspot.com/2009 ... ticle.html


Now, I am a fan too.

[rshankar]

S-P - thanks for the link to Sri Shankar's article - his writing is as original and creative as his choreography. What an amazing man!!

Sri Sankar Kandaswamy is amazing - after that group choreography, this is his duet-choreography of the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZPkJNAo ... re=related - if the group (male) version was full of energy, this is full of lAsya.
