Krishna Prasad

.. Yad yad aacarati sreshtah, tad tad eva itaro janah. As the Gita puts it,

consistency of purpose and a spirit of dedication and, if necessary,

sacrifice, should characterize the new spirit.

We Must

THE CULTURED GIVES HAPPINESS WHEREVER THEY GO, THE UN-CULTURED WHENEVER THEY

GO!

- Swami Chinmayanada

Shri Krishna Prasad-ji !

I apolpgize that i could not get back to you earlier.

Composition :

kanjadalAyatAkshi

Ragam :

manOhari (kamalAmanOhari)

Thalam :

Adi

Pallavi :

kanjadalAyatAkshi kAmAkshi kamalAmanOhari tripurasundari

Anupallavi:

pankajamukhi guruguha ranjani niranjani duritabhanjani

Caranam :

rAkAshashivadanE suradanE rakshitamadanE ratnasadanE

bhuavnEshvari EkAnandAmrtajhAri bhAsvari EkAgramanOlayakari shrIkari

EkAmrEshagrhEshvari shankari

Meaning:

One who restored cupid by a mere glance! One whose eyes are like

lotus petals! Dear friend of Lakshmi! Most beautiful in the three

worlds! Possessing a majestic gait akin to an elephant! Possessing

feet which are bejeweled with bells! Protect me O parrot that resides

in the cage called Shiva! Lotus faced mother of Subrahmanya!

Unblemished one! Destroyer of affliction! Possessing a face akin to

an autumnal full moon! Possessing lovely teeth! Protector of Cupid!

Residing in a pavilion of gems! Enshrined in Kanchi (Alternative

sAhitya of shri kAncana vasanE- wearing golden raiment)! Possessing a

good voice! Possessing a gentle, lovely smile! Embodied as one

syllable and in many syllables! Queen of the universe! Effulgent

stream of that nectar that is the one and only bliss! Giver of

liberation to those who meditate with no other thought! Creator of

wealth! Queen of Lord Ekamreshvara's household! Creator of all that

is auspicious!

Notes:This kriti is on Goddess Kamakshi at Kanchipuram. The raga name

Manohari is in the pallavi. The raga is now called Kamala Manohari

thanks to this kriti. In this kriti, Goddess Kamakshi is referred to

as Lakshmi's friend. In keeping with this, the Goddess is praised as

wearing raiment of gold, residing in a pavilion of gems, giver of

wealth, protector of cupid and is compared to the lotus in many

places. Compare this with the kriti Sarasvati manOhari in the raga of

that name on the same Goddess by Muttuswami Dikshitar, where many

terms appropriate to Sarasvati are used. The lines describing the

Goddess as the parrot in the cage called Shiva, signify that she is

the supreme being on whom even Shiva meditates.

here is how i use the search engine

i go to www.sangeetham.com

that brings up the names of the 3 karnatic composers

Dikshitir , Thyagaraja AND SHYAMA SASTRY

i click on dikshitir , it brings up all the kritis of dikshitir in

alphabertical order ...

now you can also go to to

www.musicindiaonline.com

and go to Carnatic vical section and type the name of singer

There is a rendering of this song in the instrumental section-
