please do tell me where i can find the audio of this and such similar beautiful compositions...who did the vocal? Most of Rama Vaidyanthan's dance performances have such beautiful compositions. Lakshman,are these songs called "varna"?Am a layman in this field. Pls forgive me for such doubts.

Please refer th this glossary for explanations.

akalil agalum is not a varNa. It is just a single line piece preceded by a short viruttam.

The link in post #4 is for a video of a Purandaradasa song in kannaDa- saddu mADali bEDavo in kalyANi.

Lakshman,
Is it nammAzhvAr's:

agalil agalum aNugil aNugum,
pugalumariyan poruvalla nemmAn,
nigaril avan pugazh pADi iLaippilam
pagalum iravum paDindu kuDaindE

Arasi,what is the meaning of the lines you have written?

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 06 Jun 2009, 04:22

Sudheesh,
Is this the verse that you asked for?
The 'authority' on AzhvArs is Krishna. Let's see if he helps. If not, I will give you the general meaning.

arasi/sudheesh,

Here is the word word meaning. I ave given the tamil word in bracket if I'm not able to express the meaning correctly.

tiruvAymozhi 1.7.10

agalil: If a person take material benefits from SrImannArAyaNAn and goes away from him
agalum: SrImannArAyanan also leaves them the same way.
aNugil: If a person approaches SrImannArAyanan with the thought that he has no other refuge than the Lord (exactly like pugal oRillAvadiyEn in agalakillEn pAsuram for tiruvEnkaTamuDaiyAn)
aNugum: SrImannArAyaNan approaches that person the same way to mix with him like sugar and water (nIril sarkaraiyaipOlE)
pugalum ariyan: no enemy who can dare/dream to stand up and challenge SrImannArAyaNan
poruvallan: SrImannArAyaNan does not create obstacles for people who are having to reach Him for the sake of reaching Him and not for material benefits.
emmAne: my lord, my pati (husband), my svAmi
nigarilavan: One who does not have any equal, also means one who does not have any superior (Viz. sajAtIya bEdam, vijAtIya bEdam and svagata bEdam from brahmasUtram) (tamizh words: nigarilavan = oppilAdavan = Oppiliappan ----> perumAl kOil near kumbakONam and tirunAgESvaram)
pugazh: all the glories, unparalleled limitless kalyANa guNas
pADi: sing
iLaippilam: not get tried
pagalum iravum: day and night or simply all the time
paDindu: move into our hearts (tamizh word: uTpugundu)
kuDaindE: mix (tamizh words: engum kalandu)

Full Meaning:

nammAzhvAr says "SrImannArayaNan does not like to stay with anybody who approaches Him for material benefits and subsequently leaves Him. But if a bhakthan/prapannan approaches Him to do bhakthi/SaraNAgathi at His feet without thinking of the benefits (fruits) then He mixes into the bhaktha like sugar in water. My svAmi, my Lord, my nAthan, my pathi poses no trouble to anyone who is trying to surrender to Him yet His enemies cannot even dream to stand up to him. Without ever getting tired, We, the bhakthas, will eternally sing the glories of SrImannArAyaNan, our Lord without any equals, who has moved into our hearts and become one with us ."

Sorry I have been very busy and haven't come to the forum for about a week until now. Hopefully, I will write the promised meaning of SrI sabhdam (for keerti form the language section) by the end of this weekend.
