O Mother of Perfect Conduct! Why delay in protecting me? O Supremely Holy! O Mother of virtues who is eager in nourishing those who supplicate! O Mother who wears nice golden garments! O Mother Sri Lalita! For being effulgent here as the Dear Consort to Siva - the enemy of God of Death, You should happily call me as Your Son. 2. O Mother who is the Essence of everything, found in the grove of all Vedas, whose body resembles a crore lightning (flashes)! O Mother who has celestial damsels as Her retinue! O Mother who is far removed from wicked people! O Mother whose voice is sweet like that of a parrot (or O Mother who is of the form of Raga Keeravani)! O Mother Sivaa! For being effulgent as the One abiding in the prosperous town of Tiruvaiyaru, You should now show affection by forbearing all my numerous faults! 3. O Charming One! O Delighter of Lord Siva – Pranatarti hara (name of Lord at Tiruvaiyaru)! O Most Eminent of celestial women! O Mother who fructifies name-chanting performed by this Tyagaraja! O Mother who is the terror of wicked lot! May my mind always worship Your holy feet with diligence; O Mother Syamala who is effulgent as the sister of Lord Sri Rama! O Mother Dharma Samvardhani! |
[edit] Variations
- 2bhava rOga zamani - bhava rOga zamani amba
- 6capalA – capala : In Sanskrit 'capalA' is correct; however, in Telugu 'capala' is correct. As Sri Tyagaraja has used Sanskrit for most of the epithets, 'capalA' has been adopted.
- 12manasu – manasuna
- 13nEmamutO – nEmamuna
- 14pUja sEyani – pUja sEya - pUja jEsitini : If ‘manasu’ is correct, then, ‘pUja sEyani’ is correct; however, if ‘manasuna’ is correct, then ‘pUja jEsitini’ is correct; in either case ‘pUja sEya’ does not seem to be correct as the sentence is required to be completed.
[edit] References
- 1bAlA – One of the names of lalitA mahA tripura sundari – girl under 16 years of age. bAlAmbika is the name of Mother at puLLirukku vElUr (Vaitheeswaran Koil). Use of the word ‘rOga’ - disease – in the Pallavi, is also significant. However, this Kriti is addressed to Mother at Tiruvaiyaru only.
- Incidentally, Dikshitar was born after his parents prayed to bAlAmbika – [Dikshitar]
- 4sakala lOka – 14 Worlds – Seven upper and Seven Lower (nether).
- 8paJca nada – Tiruvaiyaru is surrounded by the five rivers (kAvEri, kuDamuruTTi, veNNAru, veTTAru, vaDavAru)
[edit] Commentary
- 3phAla lOcani – lalitA maha tripura sundari is described as having a third eye in the forehead.
- 5sakala nigama vana – 'vana' means both 'grove' and 'plenty'. However, in view of the preceding word 'sakala', the meaning 'grove' has been adopted.
- 7kIravANi – this may refer to the sweet voice of the Mother or the Raga by that name.
- 9zivE – zivA - Another name of lalitA mahA tripura sundari – literally Female energy of Siva.
- 10rAmE – this may also be translated as ‘the Dark Coloured’.
- 11dEva kAminI – this may refer to the Consorts of the Trinity – pArvati, lakSmI, sarasvati.
