Thanks Keerthi!
waiting for your reply...

[keerthi]

Here you go.. have highlighted stuff I didn't understand..

P: kAyO kAvErirangA kAruNyApAngA = protect us O kAverI-Ranga, with your compassionate glances..

A: kAyo kAyo kAvEri-nilayane! = protect us, O kaveri-dweller!
kAya -vang-mana-pUrNajaridu(?) = You encompass our bodies,speech and minds[1],
tOyajAnghriya nambidenu = I take succour in your lotus feet[2],
bhava mAya geluva upAya tOri = show the way to overcome the illusion of mundane existence.

C1: dEvAdi dEva nInu = you are the god of gods,
praNata janarige = For those who worship you,
dEva-taru-maNi-dhEnu = you are the (wish-yielding)celestial tree, gem and cow[3]
endaritu nishTili = realizing this, sincerely
dhAvIsi bande nAnu = I came running
raghuvamsha bhAnu = O beacon of the Raghu clan
kAvanayyanige olidu = favour xyz
karuNadi = out of compassion,
pavamAniya shAstravaritu bhava bhakutili ninna pADuva kOvidara sEvakana mADi = Make me the servant of your devotees, who are versed in the pavamAna sUkta,[4] who sing your praises with piety and fervour.

C2: pannanga pati shayana = You sleep on the king of snakes,
shira bAgi prArthipe = I revere you with my head bowed
pannanga ripu vAhana = You ride on (garuDa) the enemy of snakes
ennaparAdhava mannisO = Forgive my mistakes
hayavadana vaikuNTha sadanA = Hayavadana[5], Denizen of vaikuNTA
ninnanugraha pUrNapaDedu dhanyarenisida mAnya mAnavi
ghanna guru jagannAtha dAsara sannidhAnadi bandE prabhuvE
= I come from the presence of the great guru jagannatha-dasa,[6] who is reknown for having got your complete grace, O lord!

C3: nEsara kulajAtA = born in the Sun’s[7] clan
vEdOkta kramadim bhUsUratara pUjitA = You are worshipped by priests, in the prescribed, ritual manner..
kaushikana yajnava pOSaka = O protector of VisvAmitra’s yagna(sacrifice)
pavana-pitA pAvanna caritA = O father of the wind god[8], of spotless conduct!
vAsudEvAnananta mahimA = VAsudEVa, of infinite stature,
vibhISaNapriya = You are vibhISaNa’s dear lord dOSa kaLeyuva = You absolve all sin,
vESa puSkaraNIsha = lord of the vESa tank [9]
kEshava dAsharathi shri shyAmasundara = O lovely, dark lord, son of dasaratha!

Notes :

1. vang-manas-kAya are called the three karaNa-s, this line may make more sense in light of Madhva/dvaita doctrine (also see Mysore vAsudEvAchArya’s ‘ManasA vacasA shirasA anisham bhajata - bEgaDa)

2. tOya-ja-anghri = Lotus feet, toya is water, tOya-ja is water-born i.e. lotus..

3. dEva-taru-maNi-dhEnu = referring to the pArijAta tree, the cintAmaNi and the kamadhEnu; all of which can fulfil all material wishes, and all of which upon emerging from the milky ocean, were taken by the dEvas..
4. pavamAniya shAstravaritu = the poet wishes to serve devotees who are scholars in the ‘pavamAna sukta’ an important vedic hymn, which is central to the madhva doctrine..

5. hayavadana = hayagrIva = horse-faced lord; this is the composer vAdirAja’s signature. He has used the name of his iShTA deva as his nom de plume..

6. The reference is to vAdirAja’s spiritual teacher, jagannAtha dAsa, who isn’t the composer of this song..

7. nEsara is a lovely term for the sun, which is a totally indigenous kannaDa word unlike the other surya/ravi/ divAkara etc, which are Sanskrit words.. the tamizh analog is probably ‘kadiravan’

It is quite rare to see the use of such words as nEsar for sun and tingaL for moon; which are original contributions to kannaDa vocabulary.. the sanskrit rental is more convenient, and prevalent..

An interesting aside, the kannaDa word for month is tingalU, which echoes the english moon-month linguistic relationship.. tamizh retains a vestige of this old word in the name for moon-day (monday) - tingak-kizhamai

8. pavana-pita - Another concept from Madhva theology, where ViSNu -> VAyu -> HanumAn -> bhIma -> MadhvAcArya is an accepted lineage/hierArchy..
9. dOSa kaLeyuva vESa puSkaraNIsha - this entails two interpretations -

a. dOSa kaLeyuva vESa - Your form/attire absolves all sins i.e. looking at you removes all sin.. puSkaraNIsha = lord of puSkariNI i.e. lakSmI(puSkara = lotus = padma,puskariNI = padminI = lakSmI)

OR
b. dOSa kaLeyuva vESa-puSkaraNIsha = Lord of the vESa tank which removes all sins..

This is a little doubtful, as the song is either directed towards ranganAtha of srIranga-paTTana of mysore or ranganAtha of srIrangaM, trichy.. both ksEtra-s have tanks called darSa or candra puskariNI..

My guess is that it is about the srIrangaM deity, what with the reference to vibhISaNa and all..

Suggestions, corrections welcome..

[krishnaa]

Thanks alot Keerthi!!! That is such a wonderful detailed explaination!!!
Thanks a ton, that is really a great help!!!

Yes You are right, kAya -vang-mana-pUrNajaridu means, i am yours by body, speech and mind.
If you have any information on Sri Vadiraja Swami and the Madhva philosophy of "pavana pitA" please do give me the link, or please tell me if i should give you my email address, you can send it to me,,,
Thanks again! Your Effort is worth alot of appreciation, you made sure to mention each point!

Sri R.K.Padmanabha has done some extensive work on Vadiraja Swami's kritis.

'He has built a huge memorial in Vadiraja Swamy’s name. It is in Bangalore near Hulimavu on Bannerghatta Road. About 80+ krithis of Vadiraja Swamy have been released in cassette form & all these have been notated & the scripts are in Kannada & released in book format'

His website has more details.

http://www.rkpadmanabha.com/vadiraja_bio.html

PS: I did some research on this, after listening to 'manniSO srI venkatEsha' in madhyamAvathi by Gayathri Venkataraghavan. One of the desciple of R.K.Padmanabha was very helpful with these details.

[rshankar]

Great translation and footnotes Keerthi!

1. vang-manas-kAya are called the three karaNa-s, this line may make more sense in light of Madhva/dvaita doctrine (also see Mysore vAsudEvAchArya’s ‘ManasA vacasA shirasA anisham bhajata - bEgaDa)

Not sure of the exclusive 'dvaitaness' of this - the Atma samarpaNa mantram (at the end of the day, or after sandhyAvandanam) goes
'kAyEna vAcA manasEndriyErvA buddhih AtmanAvA prakrutEh svabhAvAt karOmi yadyat sakalam parasmai nArAyaNAyEti samarpayAmi'.

Thanks alot Braindrain!!!!

thanks!

I don't mean to say kaya-vAk-manas is an exclusive dvaita concept.. It is my guess that these three out of all the tattva-s enumerated by sankhya, are of special significance to the dvaitin-s..

and it is kAyEna vAcA manasEndriyairvA buddhyAtmanA vA...
