SrI:
 
Dear Sangeetha RasikAs and NaadhOpAsakAs :
 
On this SarvadhAri Aadi Hastham day , when the Param JyOthi of Hasthi Giri Varadhan  lights adiyEn's path , adiyEn would like to start on the First Mela Raaga krithi composed in Raagam KanakAngi of Indhu chakram by Kaimkarya SrI Srimathi Padma Veeraraghavan.
 
KanakAngi Krithi ( MeLa Raagam 1)
 
Pallavi :
 
unnai nambhinEn Iyyaa adiyavar meyyaa
yennai maRanthEnE Chakkarak-kayyaa
 
Anupallavi
 
KanakAngi nAthanE gathi neeyE YennappA
dhinamunait-tutitthEn thUyA yenn nEyA
 
CharaNam
 
pAdinEn palakAlum padhamalart-tEnai
nAdinEn ninnadiyai nalam pala adaintEnE
tEdi ninn aruL vENDit-tiruviNNagarat-tEnE
koodinEn unn aruLAl GuNa nidhiyE kOnE
 
Yeduppu is in Suddha rishabham .
 
Pallavi Vaakyams:
 
Overall meaning of the Pallavi Vaakyams:
 
Oh my Sarva Swami ! adiyEn has placed my unassailable faith in You as my anAtha rakshakan and Aabhadh BhAndhavan . With this mAhA viswAsam sustaining me , adiyEn has performed  SaraNAgathy at Your sacred Thiruvadi and placed the burden of my protection at Your lotus feet . Oh Lord who is always true to Your devotees ! Oh Kinkara SatyA ! Oh Lord holding the resplendent Sudarsana chakram in your
upper right hand for Bhaktha RakshaNam !  Meditating on Your six kalyANa guNams and dhivya MangaLa vigraham , adiyEn has forgotten totally about the ills of this samsAric world and sought You as my nithya mangaLam and Sarva AadhAram . Tava DaasOham ! KshEmam Kuru !
 
The three groups of words of the Pallavi are: 
 
1)Unnai nambinEn Iyyaa
2) adiyavar meyyaa
3) yennai maRanthEnE chakkarak-kayyaa
 
Let us seek the echos of the words of the Pallavi now :
 
!) Unnai nambhinEn Iyyaa !
 
Oh AkASa NagareeSA ! ThvAm SaraNam gatha: , With total trust in Your words " Aham thvaa sarva pApEbhyO mOkshayishyAmi maa Sucha: ,MaamEkam SaraNam vraja" , adiyEn ,the aSaraNya SaraNyan ( one who has no other protector) has performed SaraNAgathy and placed the burden of protection at Your tender feet. 
 
adiyEn is comforted by the words of my ParamAchAryan , Your GanThavatAran , Swamy Desikan to have unshakable faith in You . He instructed us :
 
maRRoRu PaRRinRi vanathadintArkellAm
kuRRamaRiyAtha kOvalaNAr-muRRum
vinai vidutthu viNNavarOdu onRa viraihinRAr 
ninaivudaitthAi nee manamE nillu 
 
(Meaning): Oh my mind ! Please stay in a state free from worries .Our Lord , who incarnated as GopAlan overlooks all the blemishes of those , who sought His feet as refuge and rushes to unite us with His nitya Sooris at His Parama Padham . Oh My Mind ! keep remembering this and stay in a state free from any worries ( klESams).
 
Unnai nambhinEn IyyA : Here Iyya stands for the recognition of Sarva vidha Swamithvam of Oppiliappan , who is matchless ( OppilA appan ). 
 
Unnai: Unnai really stands for unnayE
( You alone ) . ThvAmEva SaraNam gatha:( adiyEn has surrendered only to You and You alone ) . The famous statement of Swamy Desikan comes to our mind : If you have vowed to protect us, where is the need for anyone to come to our rescue? If You have decided not to protect us , what is the use of anyothers coming to our rakshaNam ? Andal's determined declaration ,"UnakkE NaamAtccheyvOm"
has also to be reflected upon .
 
nambhinEn : This word reminds us of the Aarabhi kruthi of Saint Thyagaraja , where he says : " NinnE nEra namminAnu --neerajAksha nanu BrOvamu " 
(Meaning): " I had sought the protection of all and sundry , and realising the futility of it , I have reposed my entire faith in You ; pray, protect me. ... 
I have firmly believed that You are the God that could undo the effects of my past karmA and with compassion , protect me always. I have sought Your refuge , knowing fully that it is not possible for anybody else to give protection to sinners."
 
The other words of Pallavi are : adiyavar meyyaa , yennai maRanthEn ,
chakkarak-kayyaa !
 
Swamy Desikan salutes the Lord as " adiyavarkku meyyan " , Kinkara satyan
and natha satyan . He is Paaratantryan
to His AaSritAL .He is Satya vratan and never lets His devotees down .
 
Chakkarak-kayyaa : Oh Lord with Sudar Aazhi in Your hand to protect Your devotees ! You are my sole refuge . 
 
Yennai maRanthEn: Oh ShADguNya PoorNa ! " JeevAdhArA ! Raajeeva lOchanA ! Raaja Raaja SirOmaNi !" 
You are the be all and end all for me .
You are the prop of my life and the flower of my AarAdhanam .Experiencing You as the lustre in my eyes and the fragrance in my nose , I recite Your sahasra nAmAs and forget myself .Oh bewitching Lord . You are tannoppAr illappan . Your manas ( mental disposition) , charms( sogasu), methods
( dinusu) are unique. I have forgotten myself thinking of Your roopa mahimA ,
Paratvam and Naama mahAtmyam . My joy is boundless.
