lekshmi_remesh Posted November 15, 2004 Report Posted November 15, 2004 I remember hearing this Shloka (written by Poonthaanam Namboothiri - a great Krishnabhakta from kerala) in Sanskrit.It went something like ".... ya tvara gajarakshane mayyaarthe karunasindho ka tvara ko gatha hare.." I am not sure of the exact verse. can anyone help me out? Quote
lekshmi_remesh Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Posted November 19, 2004 I found the sloka i was looking for. thought i would share it with everyone. it is part of a jagannatha sthothram. it goes :- "Ya tvarA Draupadithraane ya tvarA gajamokshane mayyarthe karunasindho sa tvarA ko gathaa Hare" isnt it a most wonderfully phrased plea??

lekshmi_remesh Posted November 20, 2004 Author Report Posted November 20, 2004 Ya tvara draupadithraane - That tvara (can be roughly translated into English as enthusiasm or even urge, i guess!) which You showed to rescue Draupadi.. ya tvara gajamokshane That tvara which you displayed to give moksham to Gajendra, the elephant... mayyaarthey karunaasindho In my sorrow, o Ocean of Mercy... sa tvara ko gathaa Hare Where has that tvara gone, Hare???
