Meaning of Kriti - Elagu Daya Vacchuno

Post by P. S. »

Can someone provide a translation for the following kriti? I know only that it is in nindastuti (praise of god through teasing/censure) and is composed on Shiva-Nataraja. I have worked out the pallavi to mean "How will your compassion come to your devotees?"

Elagu Daya - Shankarabharanam - Misra Chapu - Pulliyur Duraiswami Iyer
P: elAgu daya vaccuno bhaktula pai nIkElAgu dayavaccuno
A: vAlAyamu giri vAsa madiyugAkka hAlAhAlamu mRNgina kaTOruDani
C1: rAti kUturuni nATiki rAta varENyuni kekkadi nIti bhUtanAthuDani kyAti intaTi puNyAtmuDani munneruga naiti nIku
C2: bAluni bhujiNcu matiyu bhakta pAlanamuna keTudOcu nemmatiyu cAla cAlu nI saNgatiyu smaSAnamu gAcu piSAca patiyu nIku
C3: pAmu paTTi tirugu vADu guru patni ratuDuni talakekkinaAdu mAmoralina vaccu nEdu subrahmaNyuDaitE brOtuvani yunnADu nIku

How can you be merciful, how can you be merciful towards your devotees{p}

*************

When the much shaken mountain vomited the poison of hAlahala,you were the hardhearted
Who swallowed that.{ap}

***********
the daughter of the mountain is your consort,you are the best barbarian,where are your
morals?
You are famous as The Lord of ghosts. Earlier, ,I had never known you were so virtuous ,{to You},{c1}

****************

You relish milk,but do you ever give a thought about protecting the devotees?
Enough is enough of your association,You are the Lord of ogres,{to you},{c2}

*******************
You are the snake catching wanderer ,he who is wrongfully involved with the wife of his mentor
has climbed over your crown. Now, You can listen to our plaintive cries.
As for subrahmanya,he is expecting that You will protect him,{to you}{c3}.

Thank you very much!
In the third charana, I assume the one who is wrongly involved with the wife of his mentor is the moon in reference to the story where the Moon and Jupiter's wife have Mercury as an illegitimate child.
