SHRI KUMARA NAGARALAYE"

 SHRI KUMARA NAGARALAYE"- ATHANA

#theme #Karthigai

Text and translation by

Dr.Radhakrishnan Murickanattu

(thanks for permission given)

There are two temples in Kerala, where "Thrikkarthigai" is celebrated with complete festivity; Kumaranallur (Kottayam) and Chottanikkara (Ernakulam). The most important fact to be noticed is that both these are temples for Goddess (Parvathi); Kumaranallur Karthigai is world famous and is the Yearly Festival there; thousands of people assemble on this day to witness the celebrations.

Legend: The temple was constructed for Lord Subrahmanya; but before the rituals started Goddess (Meenakshi of Madurai) occupied the temple; hence the name 'Kumaran - alla - Oor (place where Lord Subrahmanya is not the deity) (Sometime back I had written the same in detail). Maharaja Swathithirunal has composed "shrI kumAra nagarAlayE" in ragam Athana, on this temple.

Meaning:

Oh suzerain of Kumarangara (Kumaranallur), the repository of compassion, you reside in the lotus.
You are the wish-yielding tree to the devotees. You are the bee that intently seeks the nectar of the lotus face of Lord Padmanabha.

Meaning (C-1 & C-2

Your gem studded anklets jingle sweetly.  The tinkling of your bangles that adorn your wrist are melodious, your face shines like the moon.  Your tresses are adorned with the fresh petals of a lotus.  The beauty of your eyes darkened by collyrium excels that of Khanajana (a species of wagtail).  You reside in the hearts of those who have conquered passion.  Your forehead is adorned with musk paste.

Your neck is beautiful like the conch, oh the mother of the universe, protector of the world!  Your lips are red like the Bimba fruit.  Your dark and rich tresses are like the swarm of bees.  Eyes are lovely like the blue lotus,  you are adored by Shiva, Vishnu, and others. You bestow good fortune to those who worship you.

Your gait is more graceful than that of the elephant, destroyer of the enemies of the celestials, the origin of the world! Your teeth are like jasmine buds. Your feet are soft and delicate, your charming smile is wonderful that the crescent moon, the sweet nectar from them lights up your beautiful lotus face. You are worthy of being worshiped by all, pray protect me.

Please listen to a wonderful rendition of the above composition by Dr. Muralidhar Kanchi, beginning with a beautiful virutham on Goddess: https://youtu.be/soBtGjGJrGI

திருநீறைச் சுமந்தீரோ! நெருப்பான மேனிதனில்

சீதத்தினால் மிகுந்த வாதகுணமோ!

ஒருமையுடன் மார்கண்டர்க்கு உதவியாய் மரலி விழ

உதைக்க சுளிக்கேறியுண்ட குணமோ!

பரவைதன் தெருவாசற்படி இடறிற்றோ, எந்தன்

பாவமோ, என் சிவனே, மூவர்க்கும் முதல்வன் என்று

Udhaikka chulukku yeriyunda   gunamo

Paravai than theru vasara padi idaritho, yenthan

Paavamo  , Yen Sivane  , moovarkkum  mudalvan yendru

 

Did you apply hot   sacred ash   on  body burning like fire

And did you get  rheumatism  due to that?

Did you with   determination help Markandeya and kicked,

With your leg and made  Yama die, did you leg get  sprained

Did you knock your feet on door steps of the Ldy Paravai , or is it due to my sin

Or Great pride  that you are the best among the   trinity.

தனஞ்செய மஹிபனுடன் சமரில் அடிபட்டு விழ

Due to fall during battle with king Arjuna

Did knees get sprained , did it pain

Was it due to wandering in the well known daruka fores

Did some thorn   get   in to your feet, did it break?

Did the people who watched your dance in golden stahe

Leave   an evil eye, please tell

Were you proud that you were   first among devas

Did your lift  your   leg and keep is to show   to your devotees

To show that the way   to salvation  is in that  direction

Or did you hesitate  to keep your feet feaing

That   the feet of your consort  Shiva kami will fail

Or did you life your leg as per  the beats,
