Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

Here is one of the rarely heard krithis on the concert [kutchery] platforms. Of course for a bit more aged connoisseurs of music - I mean here moderately aged – around 50 and 60, for them this krithi was a familiar one, since the great Dr. M.L.Vasantha kumari rendered this krithi frequently in her concerts.

 

raagam: gunDakriya

15 maayaa maaLava gowLa janyam

 

Aa: S R1 M1 P N3 S

Av: S N3 P D1 P M1 G3 R1 S

 

thaaLam: aadhi

Composer: Thyaagaraaja

Language: Telugu

 

pallavi

inthanuchu varNimpa tharamaa bramhEndhraadhulakaina -- intha

 

meaning: Is it possible to quantify even for brahma, Indhra et al?

 

anupallavi

kanthu ni ganna maa chakkani kalyaaNa raama chandhra nee sogasu - intha

 

meaning: The charm of our lovely kalyaaNa Raama chandhra, you, oh, the very Father of Manmatha, the cupid.  

 

charaNam 1

challani choopula kannalu marijaa

billi kaLalu gErina aananamu

mellani maaTalu abhaya karamu livi

mella sahajamaina nee guNa - intha

 

meaning: His eyes are having cool glances. The face of Sri Raama chandhra excels even moon in its features (kaLalu). His speech is slow and composed. Thus, all His features, which stand for His natural auspicious qualities are granting us asylum – that 'abhayam' – is it ---

 

charaNam 2

anyula gOri ghOra thapamu lenna

ennO jEsi varamulandhi moordhanyulu

ainavaari madhambula raajanya

laghuvuna naaNachE paraakrama - intha

 

meaning: There were people, who did severe penance for  pleasing other gods [anya dhEvathaas], and obtained several boons from them and thus exalted. You, oh raama, The mighty Lord, trampled down their pride and made them powerless.  

 

charaNam 3

vaagees aadhi surakOtlaku vEdha

aagama s aasthramulaku ganagooDani

naagaraaja bhooshaNuDaina sree

thyaagaraaja sannutha needhu mahima - intha

 

meaning: Oh, raama, praised by [this] thyaagaraaja! Your glory is incomprehensible to even several demigods like Brahma, scriptures like Vedhaas, aagamams and even to Siva who has serpents as his ornaments.

 

Point: suddenly why this krithi crop up? The answer is - It is connected with seethaa kalyaaNam – or seethaa raama kalyaaNam – the marriage of seethaa with raama.

Vasudevan m.g.
