[edit] Lyrics

[edit] Pallavi

indukAyI tanuvunu sAkinad(indukA)
Show Details		Is this the purpose for which this body was nurtured?

[edit] Anupallavi

indu mukhuDu rAka hRdayamu pagulagan-
andarilO jAli jendaniyaniyandar(indukA)1
Show Details		Is this the purpose for which all (the divinities) nurtured this body thinking that, 'without the arrival of the Lord (Hari) - Moon Faced, let him suffer grief amongst all, with his heart being shattered'?

[edit] Charanams Combined

1. pAmulakE mEnu balu gaTTigAnuNDe-
nEmO kAraNamaniyeJcucuNTi nEn(indukA)


2. manakEla nepamani manniJcirO lEka

3. 3nA jayamunu jUci 4nammarE dEvuni

Show Details		1. Was my body too hard even for the snakes? I was wondering that it was for some other reason (that they could not kill me even after biting); is this the purpose for which I nurtured this body?

2. Or did they (snakes) pardon me (without biting) thinking that ‘why should we take the blame’? otherwise, this body is not of any value; it will not withstand (snake bite); is this the purpose for which the Lord has nurtured this body?

3. Even after seeing my success, (they) would not believe the God; is this the purpose for which He - the resplendent Lord – bestower of boons on Thyagaraja – has nurtured this body?

[edit] Commentary

  • This Kriti forms part of 'Prahlada Bhakti Vijayam' - In this Kriti is lamenting about his fate.
  • 1andaru indukA – ‘andaru’ here means the divinities like Indra, Vayu, Agni etc who are considered to be responsible for the growth of the body from infant stage.
  • 2tanuvu bellamu kAdu – This seems to be a colloquial usage – probably derived from a similar Tamizh usage - ‘uyir vellamalla’ – ‘life is of no value’. – bellam (jaggery) – Tamizh ‘vellam’. Please refer to site – [Bellam]
  • 3nA jayamunu jUci – probably this refers to Prahlada surviving snake poision.
  • 4nammarE dEvuni – the reference here is to Hiranya Kasipu who did not believe in the Lord.
