(Though  this great Krithi  describing the  Dasavatharas  of Vishnu   was written in mellifluous Tamil  for  the picture  Raja Desingu,   the Carnatic music fraternity  made it their own with great  enthusiasm. It is also a very popular   dance number .Hear it sung by Smt  Sudha Raghunathan  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hydNczw_o8 ) , and watch   the great  dancing star Padmini dance   for it  , with the song dung by   the legendary  Smt.M.L.Vasanthakumari  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di42rx-U7oo )


Raga  (Shanmuga priya)

Oh God,   give us  wisdom   to search for  your lotus feet daily  and  to get salvation with ecstasy.

Raga (Kedara  gaula)
2.Gathakan   aana oru Somukhan  kai kondu  kadal idaye olitha  marai  nalum,
Pinnar medhini  than meela , padhakan thaan maala  , meen avatharam   seidha thirumale,

2. When the   bad killer  called Somukha   hid  the four Vedas   inside  the  Ocean,
Oh Lord  Vishnu   you   later  took the  incarnation of fish to ,
Bring them back to the earth and  to kill  that  bad one .

Raga (Sama)
3.Vaanavarum  Danavarum   aazhi amudham   kadainthida , mandara  giri thanai thaangidave –oru,
 Koon udaya       Oadu  konda koormavatharam   yena  kolam uthrai   pugazh ongidave,

3.When the Devas  and  Asuras   churned   the ocean to  get nectar , for lifting the  Mandara  mountain,
You took  the form of a turtle with a curved  hard back so that   your fame  would  increase.

Raga  (Athana)
4.Heenan  Hiranyakshan   yennum   padu paavi  ezhu kadalul maraitha  bhoo devi  -aval,
Dheena Rakshaka , sakala  jeeva  rakshaka  yenave naanilathai  thookiya  Varaha   vadivanavane

4, When  Goddess earth   was hidden  by that  evil one Hiranyaksha   who is a  great sinner,
Inside the seven oceans and when she cried”Oh saviour of the suffering , Oh saviour of  the soul “,
You took the form of a boar and lifted  the entire earth.

Shindhave , nakham   kondu   keerum narasingamaana   avathaarane  , Chakra dharane  , upakaatrane ,aadharane.

5. When his son hearing the words of  Hiranya  “Where is  he , Where is he” stopped him in the middle ,
And said, “He is everywhere, He is here in this pillar  and that pillar “ , to remove the problem caused ,
You  took the incarnation of Narasimha  , rose  with great anger from there, with  a very gigantic body,
Displayed his belly   and intestines , stood up   , tore   with your sharp  claws  his  flesh apart   and after  eating it  ,
Stood there  spilling  his blood all around, Oh lord  who carries the conch and the wheel and who is  the basis of everything.

Ragam (bilahari)
6.Moovadi  man kettu  vandhu , Man alandhu  , Vin alandhu  , Mabali siram alandha   Vamanane ,
THandhai aaviyai  pirith-  athanaal  Surya kula vairi yaga   amaindha  Parasuraman aanavane.

6.Oh Lord Vamana  who came asking for  three feet of earth  , then measured earth by one one feet  , heavens by one feet   and Then measured  the head of Mahabali,
Oh Lord  who became Parasuramsa the enemy of solar dynasty  due to the  taking away of the  soul of your father.

Ragam (Kanada)
