Hey ordinary one
what is the need for your talk,
It is as if the
banana fruit slipped and fell in
side the milk.
Parasuraman garvam theerthavandi avan
Nammai ellam kaappavandee
Pattam Katta Etravandi naalu peril
Moothavandi avandee en kanmani...
Parasuraman garvam theerthavandi avan

Moothavandi avandee en kanmani...
He is the one who
destroyed pride of Parasurama,
He would definitely
protect all of us, dear ,
He is the most suitable to
be crowned among the four ,
That darling is the eldest among all of them.

Wrong meaning. It means, "if Rama is crowned as the king we will all benefit" mannan mudi has to be taken together which means the kingly crown. Here mannan does not refer to the king who would crown Rama. "thariththal" is an intransitive verb.
This is a part of Rama Nataka Keerthanai . There is a note that it is sung by people when they heard about the news of Rama's crowning. My meaning as well as that given by Sri Narada seems to be both OK
ReplyDeleteWhat about the 1st and 3rd charanams? I would like to get a translation for them. From karnatic.com they are:

This is a dialogue of kaikeyi with Manthara, telling her of Rama's gretaness and that Manthara should keep shut. Kaikeyi talks about how rama is dear to her. This is before her change of heart.
