Saamaja vara Gamana

Saamaja vara Gamana

By

Saint Thyagaraja

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

Raga Hindolam
Thala Aadhi

Pallavi

Saamaja vara gamana
Sadhu hrut sarasabhja Pala
ka lathitha vikhyatha

Anupallavi

Sama nigamaja sudha maya gana vikakshana
gunasheelaa dayalavala maam palaya

Charanam

Veda siro mathraja saptha swara,
Nada kala deepa sweekrutha,
Yadava kula murali vadana,
Vinoda mohana kara , Thyagaraja vandaneeya.

English translation

Pallavi

He who walks like an elephant,
He who protects the lotus like heart of saints,
He who is beyond time, He who is famous.

Anupallavi

Oh Expert in the nectar like music of Sama Veda,
Oh Virtuous one, Oh Ocean of mercy, please protect me.

Charanam

Oh seven notes flowing out of Vedas,
Oh light in the mountain of music,
Oh Flute player belonging to Yadava clan,
Oh God who attracts others as a play,
Oh God who is being saluted by Thyagaraja
