caraNa of the rEvati tillAnA:

C: kOla muruganaik-kANa eNNi kAlamellAm kAttirundEn
vElanO enai EnO marandAn jAlamO en kAlamO ariyEn

[rshankar]

Meaning of the caraNa sAhityam of the rEvatI tillAnA:

I have been waiting (kAttirundEn) all my life (kAlam ellAm) just to behold (kANa) the beautiful/handsome (kOla) murugan, but I am not sure (EnO) if it is artful pretence (jAlamO) on his part, or the consequence of my own karmA (kAlamO) that has made the spear-weilding Lord (vElanO) to have forgotten (marandAn) me (enai).

[srinandini]

thillana in nalinakanti? interesting. anywhere i can find an audio of it?

[prathibha.ramaswamy]

thank you so much.

[Lakshmi Rekha]

Is there an audio reference for this please? Also why is the charana in revathi please?

[rshankar]

The caraNam of the naLinakAnti tillAnA is NOT in rEvati. Please check the lyrics posted in # 2.

The caraNa sAhityam is from the rEvati tillAnA - post # 1 had two separate requests: the lyrics for the naLinakAnti tillAnA and the meaning for the caraNa sAhityam of the rEvati tillAnA.

Lakshman-ji asks for one request per thread to avoid just this type of confusion.
