Abhayamba - 3 - Aryam Abhayambaam Bhaja Re
By Muthu Swami Deekshithar
Translated by P. R. Ramachander

Raga Bhairvi
Thala Khanda jati

Pallavi

Aryam Abhayambaa bhaja re chitha santhatham,
Avidhya karya kalaanaan thyaja re,
Adhi madhyantha rahitham, shiva sahitham.

Anupallavi

Surya agni chandra mandala madhya vasinim,
Sukha tara pravarthanim, swethara nivasinim,
Acharya sishya anugrahana Shakthi pradha apaara karunaam,
Charyadhi chathushtaya vitharana samartha thara charanaam arunaam.

Charanam

Nandana vano uthpadana pushpa mallikam,
Vandana aalayadhi prasthapana divya,
Chandana akarshana sthala shudhi karana,
Vandana sthothradhi patana bhaktha sevaanaam,
Mandhadhee harana charya yutha maanavaanaam dharma maya,
Swachanda shiva salokhya dayaka chathura thara nata bhairaveem,
Mandasmitha vilasitha mukharavindam guru guhambikaam,
Mukunda sodhareem Maha Tripura Sundarim Ananda Laharim.

English Translation

Pallavi

Oh Mind, always sing about the lady Abhayamba and banish acts of ignorance,
Of her who does not have beginning, middle and end and is with Shiva.

Anupallavi

She who lives in between the orbits of moon, Sun and fire
Who acts for the pleasure and pervades all over the world,
Who is greatly merciful and is the power that blesses teacher and the taught,
Who has the colour of dawn and whose feet makes us adept in the practices
Of the human beings divided in to four groups.

Charanam

She who wears the garland made from flowers of the divine Nandana forest,
Who is saluted in the temple by devotes who are grinding Sandal wood paste,
Where devotees clean the place, salute, recite Stotras and serve other devotees,
Who protects the people engaged in the act of removal of ignorance from dim Witted,
Who is the wise, dancing Bhairavi who grants a place in the Shiva loka,
Who is the mother of Guru Guha with lotus like face sporting a pretty smile,
Who is the sister of Mukunda, The great Tripura Sundari and wave of joy.

Sri Madhura Nayaki Madhura Gaana Panchakam by Aandavan Pichai


Sri  Madhura  Nayaki  Madhura  Gaana  Panchakam
ஸ்ரீ மதுரா நாயகி  மதுர கான பஞ்சகம்

(Sweet five  songs about   the   sweet goddess  )

By
AAandavan Pichai

Translated  by
P.R.Ramachander






( million  thanks to  my face book friend Hariharasubramanian Venkatasubramanian   who brought this great prayer to my notice.I could not  see any reference  to these  great songs  on line)

“Aandaavn Pichai is a contemporary woman composer who composed in Telugu, Tamil and Sanskrit. It is said that her vision of Lord Muruga was the impetus behind her compositions. One of the well known songs for all us “Ullam Urugudhayaa” was composed by her but got lot popular after TMS sang that song. She is also an ambal upasaki. She has composed a Tamil version of Soundarya Lahari. It is believed that she composed a poem on ambal while she was delivering her child!
       At one time   Smt  Sivananda  Vijayalakshmi  Saraswathi   and her parents  once took Smt.Aandaan Pichai  to Madhurai  Meenakshi temple ,When they were  standing in front  of  the sanctum of the temple, it seems Goddess  Meenakshi in her emerald form came  out  and requested her  to sing about her and Smt Aandaan pichai   entered in to trance and sang these   songs, in spite of the fact that she did not know  Sanskrit. It seems at that time   the priest came out  with a plate  and orange fruit rolled out   and fell in to the hand  of Smt.aAandaan Pichai .These facts were informed by  Smt Kalpagam Srinivasan,  the daughter of Smt Aandaan pichai )
