My father, Sri Rama!

[edit] Anupallavi

EDAdi1 nADuga eDa-bAyani vAni

[edit] Charanam

talaku vaccina bAdha3 tala pAgaku jEtu4

Show Details		Didn't you say, after due deliberation, (a) ‘I shall divert the danger directed to your head, towards your headgear’;
(b) ‘I shall be caught in the trap of one who believes me lovingly’; and
(c) ‘here I shall make you to swim in the ocean of devotion’? O Lord worshipped by this Thyagaraja!

[edit] Variations

  • 2kApADudunani – kApADuduvani : kApADudunu seems appropriate.
  • 4talapAgaku jEtu – talapAgaku cEDu

[edit] References

  • 3talaku vaccina bAdha talapAgaku – this is a saying in Tamil ‘talaikku vandadu talaippAgaiyODu pOnadu’ – derived from the episode in Mahabharata (Karna Parva – Chapter 90) when Karna aimed a weapon (astra) at the chest of Arjuna – to kill him; but Lord KRishna – the charioteer - pressed the chariot into the ground by his toe and the weapon missing the target took away the crown of Arjuna; thus he was saved from any harm. Please visit website - [Mahabharatam]

[edit] Commentary

  • 1EDAdi nADuga – cinnA nADADina – These two statements conflict with one another. Therefore, in order to complete the sense, ‘I have been waiting’ (for the past (nADuga) one year (EDAdi)) has been added.
