Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

On this dheepaavaLi day, let me meditate on my krishNa, to shower his 
blessings on all Sri vaishNavaas of the list. A krithi of 
ooththukkaadu vEnkata subbu iyer, struck me today. That krishNa 
bhaktha whose krithis strikes me many a times, like a lightning in my 
eyes, and then makes me blind mentally for a while, but then leaves 
me lifted up in krishNaa's thoughts. Since today's strike coincides 
well with deepaavali, the festival of lights, I would like to share 
with you all, that striking krithi. This krithi is on lord 
varadharaaja of kaanchi but again his Krishna consciousness overtakes 
the composer even though he starts on `hasthi giri eesan ? varadhan'.

Raagam: kaambhOji
ThaaLam: aadhi thaaLam

pallavi:
kunRin mEl itta dheepam engaL kuRai enum 
iruL pOkkum varadharaaja dheepam  - kunRin

meaning: the lamp named varadharaaja is lit on the hill top - that 
light which removes the darkness ? the darkness of sins or wanting in 
us.
 
anupallavi:
manRil maaNikka maragatha dheepam 
engaL maadharasi dhEvaki ERRiya dheepam

meaning: the red ruby lamp or green emerald lamp is lit in a common 
place ? our empress lady dhEvaki lit that lamp means brought into 
this world. [manRil is podhu idam ? common place]
  
charanam:
navaneetham maNakka varum dheepam 
naaradha gaanam kEttu thuLLi ezhum dheepam
kuvaLai malar neela dheepam 
aayar kulam vaazha vandu ninRa 
nalam tharum dheepam -- kunRin

avaiyilEp paanchaali azhaiththa dheepam 
aayiram kOdi vaNNamaaip-pOi ezhundha dheepam
dhivi gaNa munivargaL kuviyum karam kaNdu 
uvaghaiyoDu aruLum bhuvana dheepam
chiththamidai vandhu thava sudhDha saththuvam 
kalandhu niththiyam idhai vazhangum aththi giri enum oru - kunRin

meaning: this lamp 
§       comes smelling fresh butter, 
§       jumps up on hearing rishi naaradhaa's singing 
§       shines like that blossomed blue lily flowers
§       came here to enliven the vraja clan and offer welfare.
In the royal assembly paanchaali called this lamp
He went there as crores of colours ? viz clothes of crores of colours
That worldly lamp raises to shower its grace on the meditating 
assembly of rishis in the upper regions.
This lamp comes in the mind and shines as the clear blissful 
philosophy ? [sath chith aanandha roopam]. The lamp which grants 
eternity is this one on the hasthi giri ? varadharaja lamp.

Enjoy the krithi first and let us see some points on the krithi in 
next post.

Dhasan
Vasudevan m.g.
