Pallavi

 O! The One who grants boons! The in-dweller in all! (alternate meaning could be: “The One who makes everything dwell in Him”). May You protect me here and now! The One who assumed a diminutive frame, the One who bestows what is desired (by the devotees) (Vasudevāva)

Anupallavi

O! The One who is praised by sages like Kashyapa, Gautama, Atri, the one born out of a pot (sage Agastya), Kanva, Suka, Narada and other sages! One whose presence or manifestation is full of auspiciousness, the One who bestows on His devotees full and lasting bliss and happiness! One who is more handsome than Manmatha and One who is an ocean of mercy (Vasudevāva)

Note: ‘Sumaśara’ literally means ‘ one having flowers as arrows’. Manmatha is supposed to have five flowers. The five flowers are: the flower of the Asoka tree, aravinda (white lotus),  chuta (the tender flowers of the mango tree), navamallika (jasmine)  and nilotpalam (blue lotus). The verse runs thus:

अशोकमरविन्दं च चूतं च नवमल्लिका।

नीलोत्पलं च पञ्चैते पञ्च बाणस्य सायका:॥

Charanam

(You) are protected by the One who has the infant moon on the crown and who is looked after by Parvati (reference to Lord Siva)note, the One who cut off many a hand of the demon Bana, the One who has assumed the human form for exhibiting exploits, One sporting the blue hue of the rain-bearing cloud, One who gives the appearance of a child of the Yadava clan,  One who resides in the minds of those who meditate (upon You), the younger brother of Rama, One whose feet have the brilliance of the infant Sun,  O Bala Vijaya Gopala! The One who took (brought) the parijata flower from the wish-yielding tree of the celestial world, Venkataramana! One whose origin is inscrutable (indefinable)!

***********note

 Siva is mentioned as the protector of Lord Krishna in this song. Lord Krishna is one of the manifestations of Lord Vishnu. The Trinity of Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Siva assume different superior positions on different occasions. This is referred to by Kalidasa in Kumarasambhava

एकैव मूर्तिर्बिभिदे त्रिधा सा सामान्यमेषां प्रथमावरत्वम् ।
विष्णोर्हरस्तस्य हरिः कदाचिद्वेधास्तयोस्तावपि धातुराद्यौ ॥ ७.४४ ॥One who took (brought) the parijata flower from the wish-yielding tree of the celestial world, Venkataramana! One whose origin is inscrutable (indefinable)! ***********

This is one of  the general kr̥tis on Vishnu, by E³³app¡¿a¯ VenÅki¿ar¡ma Bh¡gavatar

In the kr̥ti jaivātrukanibhavadana , there are references to the sapta swaras – the seven notes -in the gamut of South Indian music connoting the Puranic names figuring in Srimad Bhagavata.

charana: LYRICAL ASPECTS

½a¢ja svarakara ¾ikhi pi²Ächadhara

¾ikhi pi²Ächa= feather of the peacock

¾ikhi pi²Ächadhara – one who wears feather of the peacock.-Here Krishna.

½a¢ja-Name of the first among the seven notes--sapta swaras-,

 primary notes –so called because it is supposed to be produced by the six organs,viz.tongue,teeth, palate, nose,throat,and chest..

The other six notes are »½abha, g¡ndh¡ra madhyama pa²cama, Dhaivata, ni½¡da,

that the Sama veda was sung to the music of the sapta swaras was found in unmistakable terms in this Sikhsa

s¡m¡di nigama s¡ra vicak½a³a ½a¢ja svarakara is a significant term

“Yagnavalkya siksha justifies the names of the sapta swaras- for shadja-shat-ja-born of the six angas at actions.the swara came to be called as shadja.

षण्णां स्वराणां जनक:षड्भिर्वाजस्यतॆ स्वरैः।

षड्भ्य़ो वा जायतेऽङ्गॆभ्य: षड्ज इत्यभिधीयते॥

ṣaṇṇām svarāṇām janaka:ṣaḍbhirvājasyate svaraiḵ|

ṣaḍbhyō vā jāyatēṅgebhya: ṣaḍja ityabhidhīyatē||

In the veda recitation, intonations of

ni½¡da, g¡ndh¡ra are referred to the udhatta accent

»½abha, Daivata-Are referred to anudhatta accent

½a¢ja-madhyama, pa²cama-The three are referred to the svarita accent.

½a¢ja svarakara ¾ikhi –

¾ikhi -means the bird peacock

The sound of this note is said to resemble the sound of the peacock

v»½abhaddhvajapÀjita –flag with the symbol of v»½abha

v»nd¡vanadhaivata- Krsna-

dhaivata means relating to God, diety, Deva-daivata in the sense as celebrated or worshipped in v»nd¡vana

m¡ni½¡da-

m¡=refers to the bleating of goats, cow etc

ni½¡da –afflicted,distressed

ni½¡da -also dwelling, residing

Since it is a desciption of vrindavana given by E³³app¡¿a¯ VenÅki¿ar¡ma Bh¡gavatar, m¡ni½¡da could represent the dwelling of the cows,goats cattle etc.

 E³³app¡¿a¯ VenÅki¿ar¡ma Bh¡gavatar’s use of m¡ni½¡da = m¡- donot ni½¡da =despair;hence could mean remover of distress of the inhabitants of vrndavana- an epithet for Krsna.

 venka¿a r¡m¡cyuta pikapancamakÀjita   pikapancamakÀjita kÀjita =means sound made by

pancama is the fifth note of the gamut of saptaswara in music supposed to be produced by the air drawn from 5 parts of the body.

The sound of this note is said to resemble the sound made through its throat by the Indian cuckoo or koyal or koil or kuyil -pika- 

“The Naradeeya Siksha – a manual on the Samaveda swaras dealing with the origin, nature and development.

The corresponding cries of the birds and animals for the seven swaras are also mentioned.

मयूरचातक क्रौञ्च कॊकिल दर्दुकाः।

mayūracātaka krauñca kokila dardukāḥ|

gajaśca sapta paṅjādi  na kramādi duścārayantyapi||”

References to Mahabharata epic story is interestingly brought about in this charana-

The historical characters like karna, dhuryodhana,and his kaurava clan are refred to in the pada

r¡d£yasuyµdhanag¡ndh¡rahara

r¡d£ya suyµdhana g¡ndh¡ra hara- madhyama p¡³¢ava

Among the p¡³¢ava brothers Arjuna is the third .hence Arjuna is referred as in the midst of p¡³¢avas – madhyama p¡³¢ava

kaunt£ya-– the son of Kunti is Arjuna

Krishna as the charioteer of Arjuna during the act of the Mahabharata war-yuddha is depicted as- kaunt£ya ratha vibhÀ½a³a is  krsna One who adorned the ratha – chariot of Arjuna.

While Arjuna – the son of Kunti is referred as kaunt£ya-,

r¡d£ya is Karna also as per the epic is biologically though is the son of Kunti, yet he is referred to as Radheya, -because Radha was Karna’s foster mother,

Radha was the wife of Adhiratha- the soota or charioteer of King Sura

Karna  had grown up  under the care of  his foster parents after being desserted by Kunti,who had given birth to him before her formal marriage.

suyµdhana-su+yajna-derivation=the word means fighting well.here used as euphemistically in the noun form to mean Duryodhana-the eldest of the kaurava clan .

g¡ndh¡ra –use of this swara name is significant. g¡ndh¡reya meaning the sons of g¡ndh¡ri- wife of dhritarashtra-hence the reference to the whole clan of kauravas.

venka¿ar¡m¡cyuta pikapancama----cyuta. pancama----cyuta is relevant .Because panchama note is used sparingly in Nattakkurinji -rgm{p}grs  .in the notation too ndn{p}dns is avoided.

Hence the composer’s musical, linguistic dexterity and the knowledge of the scriptures is exemplified by this one krti.

The musical analysis is done in the Chapter 3.

Anupallavi

O! The One who bestows prosperity on Venkataramana (reference to the composer)! The One whose feet are adored by Siva, by Brahma, by the chief of the celestials (Indra) and others. the One who protects those who surrender (to Him), the One who moves about in the garden which is, in fact, the mind of sentient beings and devotees like Suka, Narada and others, the One who is the god of gods and the one who is the cause for the creation, sustenance and dissolution of the universe (I meditate upon)

Charanam

The One endowed with all auspicious qualities, the One who confers prosperity (on His devotees), One who is the very manifestation (personification) of all auspiciousness, One endowed with a beautiful form, like the crimson hue of the Sun, One who is the Sun (who lights up) to the lotus-like mind of Katyayani, One who wears  an attire of golden hue, One who is full of mercy similar to the water-bearing cloud (to His devotees), elder to the consort of Valli and Guruguha, who satisfies the wishes of His devotees (reference to Lord Subrahmanya), One with the face of an elephant and over a hundred times more brilliant than the Sun, One who is adorned with a garland of mallika, mandara and champaka flowers, One who is realised by the great, One who is of the form of Pranava (OM, which represents the triad of gods Brahma, Vishnu and Siva)( I meditate upon).
