Kritis on Narasimha

vijayagopal · Post by **vijayagopal** » 03 May 2008, 14:33

Narasimha Jayanti on the 18th of May this year.
Ahobila Matham of Hyderabad has taken up a program of teaching Annamayya's works on Narasimha before the festival.
Can friends help me identify Kritis on Narasimha by various composers?
Narasimha Nanu Brovave is one such item.
Narasimhudu stambhambuna is another.

Let us explore these items.
Please!

i think narahariyai vandan is by ambujam krishna

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 03 May 2008, 20:17

narahariyAy vandAn is indeed Ambujam Krishna's composition.

sathya_vrathan and arasi: thanks for the correction. I heard narahariyaay vandaan for the first time at a concert by Aruna Sairam focusing exclusively on ambujam krishna's compositions at the MA - really very lilting varnamettu

With Namaskarams to His Holiness Ahobilamatam Jeeyar Swami and other devotees, I present here two songs composed by me , one in Tamil and another in Sanskrit. I am not a musician but a music lover and devotee. Please use it if it is good and interesting and kindly pardon me if I am wrong.

Raagam: Sahaanaa Thaalam: Aadhi

Pallavi:

Thaalinai Paninden Dayaaparane
Dhayai Purivaai Ramaa Lolane
(Thaalinai}

Anupallavi:

Maathigazh Maarvane Maadhavane - Endrum
Kaathenai AaLvaai Kamala Naabhane
Nin (Thaalinai)

Charanam:

Engum Ulan Ennum Magavidam Sinandhu â€“ Hari
InguLano Endru Hiraniyan Thoon Thatta
Angudane Thondri Avaniyellam Uyya
Avunanudal Konda AaLariye
Gathiyaai (Thaalinai)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raagam: Bilahari Thaalam: Aadhi

Pallavi:

Sakala Bhuvana Sharanyaa
Sarva Mangala Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha
(Sakala)

Anupallavi:

Prahlaadha Rakshana Bakthaarthi Haranaa
BrahmaRudhraadhi Vandhitha Charanaa
(Sakala)

Charanam:

Hiranyaadhi Dhaanava Kula Kaalaa
Hiranmayee Saha Anugraha Seelaa
Naaga Naagaari Sahitha Devesaa
NangaiNallur Thillai Gangaapuri Vaasaa
(Sakala)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second song is about Sarvamangala Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhar at Thillai Ganga Nagar, Nanganallur, Chennai.

With Namaskarams.

-K. Badri Narayanan.

Very nice, Badri Narayan!
I like the caraNam of 'tALinaip paNindEn dayAparanE' very much.

The following lines in the song I guess are:
dayai purivAi ramA lOlanE

mA tigazh mArbanE, madavanE--enRum
kAttenai ALvAi, kamalanAbanE--nin

engum uLan enRa magaviDam Sinandu-ari
inguaLanO enRu iraNiyan tUN taTTa
anguDanE tOnRi, avaniyellAm uyya
avanuDal koNDa ALariyE!

thanks Arasi.

you are right about the song. but the last line in pallavi is 'avunanudal konda' and not avanudal konda. 'avunan' in tamil means 'arakkan/asuran' which here denotes ofcourse Hiranya.

badri2003 · Post by **badri2003** » 05 May 2008, 08:58

second line in charanam is ' inguLanO ' and not 'inguaLanO' , may be a typing error.

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 05 May 2008, 09:45

avanuDal koNDa also fits!
