MEANING :PER COURTESY- DR ALAMELU AND SRI RAMAKRISHNAN

Song number 31                          ( Innum paramukham eno)  (Why are You turning away from me?)

Ragam: Sridhari                              Talam: Adi

Kharaharapriya janyam

Arohanam: s r g m d n s

Avarohanam: s n d m g r p m g r s

Pallavi

Still why do You turn Your face (away from me)?

Why do You turn Your face away  (from me)?

Is this befitting You, at me who is helpless and hapless?


Anupallavi

(O!) One who has a couch of serpent! (One) who suppresses enemies!(One) who saves those who commit sins! I resort to and supplicate at Your feet. (innum)

Charanam 1

Earlier, You protected the sacrifice of a sage (Viswamitra) in the forest! Then, accompanying him (sage Viswamitra), You redeemed her (Ahalya) from her curse (of sage Gautama). Then, You bent the bow and gladdened the mind of king Janaka, You held the hand (married) of mother Sita. To bless me, (innum ---why are You still reluctant?)

Charanam 2

Considering that there is no word more sacred in the universe than that of (one’s) father, going to (the forest) Dandakaranya, You protected the sages there, who were engaged in penance and austerities. Gladdening the hearts of the celestials, You removed the weeds in the form of demons. You rose (like the Sun) in the city of Ayodhya and ascended the throne (Innum en)

structure and textual Analysis in Thesis

Ramayana  episodes in the kr̥tis of E³³app¡¿a¯ VenÅki¿ar¡ma Bh¡gavatar

Many a number of kritis of Tyagaraja narrate episodes from the Ramayana.  In some of the kritis of Tyagaraja, we find certain episodes to which we do not get any clue in any of the other Ramayanas written by others.

 Kalala Nerchinaa in Deepaka Raga and Vachaama aghocharame in Raga Kaikavasi are good examples.[1]

innum parāmukameno umakkitu muai tāno[2]-raga sreedhari

 Valmikis epic i Ramayanas 24000 verses is divided into 7 kanda s

The 7 Kandas of epic Ramayana are
1) Bala Kanda
Ramas boyhood life in Ayodhya
2) Ayodhya Kanda
until his banishment
3) Aranya Kanda
Ramas life in forest and sitas abduction by Ravana

4) Kishkindha Kanda Ramas stay in Khishkinta-capital of his monkey ally Sugreeva
5) Sundara Kanda Ramas passage to Lanka with the help of Hanuman

6) Yuddha Kanda Ramas battle  with Ravana,recovery of Sita, return to ayodhya

7) Uttara Kanda Raama Rajya- coronation and rule

Both charanams to be sung before linking to the pallavi.the complete Ramayana story used for harikatha rendering.
