Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
Raga –Kedaram
Tala AAdhi
Pallavi
Gana nayagan thunai yaguvaan,
Gandharwa veda sangeetham pada
Anupallavi
Phani raja kankana pani- Sankara,
Thanaya mangala karaka
Charanam
AAdhara sruthi neengamale,
Anniyargal pani varamale,
Kedara ragam Gambheera ragam,
Ketta pinnar mayai ongamale
English translation
Pallavi
For singing the Gandharava Veda music,
The lord of music would help me.
Anupallavi
He who wears the king of serpents as armlet,
Who does auspicious acts to son of Shiva.
Charanam
Without the basic sruthi slipping away,
Not imitating the style of any other stranger,
The regal raga, the Kedara raga,
Once heard would remove all illusions.
Translations to English of the lyrics of Krithis of Carnatic music , which are tomes of devotion.
