Violin: Kumbakonam M R Gopinath Mridangam: R Ramesh Ganjira: Nerkunam S Shankar This composition is a praise of Goddess Parvati (Gauri) — highlighting her as the graceful and sweet-spoken destroyer of evil, remover of karma's bondage, selfless giver of boons, sustainer of dharma, and bringer of joy and auspiciousness. Pallavi Maravairi ramani manju bhashini Anupallavi Krura danavebha varanari gauri Charanam Karma bandha varana niskama varade dharmasamvardhani sada vadana hase shubha phalade ---------------------------------------------------- Meaning: O Beloved (Ramani) of Lord Siva with sweet speech (manju bhashini), who is the enemy (vairi) of the demon Maran (Kama, the god of love). You are the slayer of cruel demon-elephants, the lioness who vanquishes the most fearsome foes. You are the enemy of the demon in elephant form , symbolic of overcoming ego, ignorance, and evil. O Mother, You are the obstacle to those bound by worldly desires , you stand as a force against attachments that entangle the soul. You are the granter of boons to those with desireless minds , blessing seekers of purity and renunciation. You nurture and uphold dharma , ensuring righteousness flourishes in the world. With your ever-smiling face , you radiate compassion and grace. To this humble servant Thyagaraja, you are the bestower of all that is auspicious .O sweet-spoken one, beloved of Lord Siva , the conqueror of desire. ---------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: These songs have been uploaded solely for listening pleasure and as an archive to preserve Carnatic music.
