Hi everyone,

May I request the lyrics and meaning of the Thillana 'Dheem Dheem Ta Dheem..' in Raga Revathi, Adi Tala. It is dedicated to Goddess Bhuvaneshwari.

Thank you in advance

engum nirainda praNava svarUpiNi tAyE bhuvanEshvari pongum mangaLam tandiDum dEvi krSNadAsan paNindiDum
Oh mother (tAyE), you are the mistress (ISvari) of the entire world (bhuvana), the embodiment (svarUpiNi) of the primordial sound (praNava) who is all pervasive (engum niRainda) [1]! Oh dEvi, (you are the one) who grants (tandiDum) abundant (pongum) auspiciousness (mangaLam), and are worshipped (paNindiDum) by the composer, kRshNadAsan.

[1] engum niRainda can also qualify the 'praNava' - I have interpretted it as qualifying the dEvi
