Krishnaa: Is it a malayalam song or nandanandana gOvinda by Naratana Tirtha?

The words are difficult to figure out. Only someone who knows Malayalam has a fair chance.

Hello Krishnaa, the lyrics are below. There might be a few errors, please amend as you seem fit. The audio file contains two compositions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nanda Nandanan Govindan Sundaraninindira Kanthan

Ennude Manasam thannil vannudhikkenam (2)

Pannaga shayanan aravindalochanan krishnan

nandiyode guruvayoor Mandire vilangunnoru ( Nanda Nandanan )

Pothakanmare Vadhippan Chethasi Chinthichu Kond

Pathakiyay nadakkunna Poothana thanne (2)

peethaShanka kondeyundu jathamoru kola Cheyvan

Peethamamkidam thannil Paidhalayi Kidannoru (Nanda Nandanan )

[Dhoorthaarayi Nadakkunna Dhartharashtranmare Ellam

theerhthidaanay parthan thante Therthadam Thannil] (2)

Parthasaradhiyay ezhum pandalathil Pirannoru

Parthivanmare Odukki thazhthi dhathrikku theerthoru (Nanda Nadanan)

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Himagireeswara nandiniyay ameetha gunagana sundhariyay

than pathi devanu vedhi orukkum thiruvathira innalloo

poothiruvathira innalloo

poothingal thalameduthu puthan thiruvathira vannu

nilavilakkin nalam thelinju

narunira ponnadayaninju (2)

Vellilathaliyedukkenam vellikinnathilennayedukkenam

manjalarachangedukkenam pinne neendhithudichu kulikkenam (2)

mudi cheecki cheeviyothukkenam athil mullappoo chandhathil choodenam (2)

kanmashi ezhuthenam kasthoorikkuri venam kaikalil karivala thirukeedenam (2)

aanivalakaludanjalum kulirkaiyukal aadiyulanjalum (2)

Hope this suffices your query.

good job agraja.

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 03 Jun 2009, 19:25

VKR/agraja,

A question - in the first line should it not be 'sundaran indirA kAntan' and not 'sundaranin indirA kAntan' as transcribed?

VK RAMAN · Post by **VK RAMAN** » 03 Jun 2009, 20:06

sundaranin indirA kAntan is the correct expression IMHO and that is how it is sung too. Good Observation.

Agraja · Post by **Agraja** » 06 Jun 2009, 01:21

VKR & rshankar, thank you for your suggestions. Krishnaa, below are the meanings of individual lyrics. The audio file you provided, contains two individual compositions set adjacently. The first one, I managed to decipher most of the meanings. Second one, a few lines I couldn't. I would say though, the actual meaning of any composition comes out the most beautifully in the language in which it has been composed. Again, please do correct me if I've gone wrong anywhere. God bless.
