Nurani sastha Preethi Pattukal 1-10


Translated by  P.R.Ramachander
As per tradition  the songs commence with  a prayer to Lord Ganesa.

1.         Ganapathy  Stuthi

Kunjara  vadana   undhan   kancha   maamalar   padhathai
Thanjamendradi   paninthen   thaarakaa   pottri   pottri
Vanchimaamalayil  vaazhum  dharmasaasthrayyan  meethil  paada
Chanchalamtheerthu  enkal  nenchakam  kudikolvaayey

Oh  Elephant faced God , I  have   surrendered   to your.
Lotus like feet , Oh Tharakaa  ,  hail. Hail,
For singing about  The Dharma Sastha   who lives in great  Vanchi mountain,
Please  remove our nervousness   and start living in our  hearts.
   Tharakaa-One with a shape of “Om”
    Vanchi mountain –western ghats.

Next prayer   is addressed to Goddess  Saraswathi

Maanikkaveenai  oru  kayyinil  thaangiyey
Mahimayoorum  ishaipaadidum  mandhahaasini
Divyasundaraangi  kamalmandiraalayamathil  vaazhum
Vaanikki  ananthamaanasa  poojai  vakaiperavum  mika
Uravumaai  vandanam  sheykintra  anthanar  shiruvarkalaam
Engalukku  arul  purikuvaayey

Oh Goddess  with a pretty smile , who is  holding  a gem studded Veena ,
in her hand and sings   , songs which have   potential,
Oh Goddess  with pretty mien, Who is the Vani who lives   in the temple of lotus,
On  these  Brahmin* lads, who are  mentally worshipping you,
Along with their relations, shower   your grace
       * Brahmin lads only participate in Sastha Preethi..

Prayer to Guru

Hariharasuthanaam  dheeran  aariyan  meethil  paada
Guruvarpaadhapadmayugalamey  chintha  sheiythu
Shiruvarum  elithil  ullam  theliyavey  swami  meethil
Sharivara  sthuthikkavey  yaan  shattrinen  pohti  pothi

To sing about the very courageous   Arya who is the  son of Vishnu and Shiva,
We meditate   on the lotus  like  pair  of feet  of the Guru,
So that we the youngsters would have a clear mind,
By  reciting  the prayer   on the God, I am praising you, hail, hail.

Anai mukathon Thambi   arul kumaranukku ilayon ,
Vanavar pothum vani vanthu  yenakkarula   vendum,
Senayim thalaivar pothum  then kulathooril ayyan,
Kaanaka   vilayattellam  karuthudan uraippai  nenje.

Brother of Lord  Ganesa , younger brother  of  Lord Subramanya
The Goddess  Saraswathi praised   by the Devas should come and bless me,
And oh heart , with sincerity   relate   the plays in the forest  ,
Of  the Ayyappan of Thenkulathoor*who is worshipped by chiefs of army.
 
*The Kulathoor near Kallidai kurichi of Thirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu.

Anthanar munivar shoozhum  athbutha  sabhayai  pohti
Mandhiram  kayyilena  valar  kulathooraan  meethil
Chinthayil  udhitha  shollay  cheppumen  kavi  vilanga
Skanthanum  guruvum  vaani  gajamukhan  kaappy thaamey

After praising this assembly  surrounded by Brahmins and sages,
For  the words that raise  in my mind    about The God of Then kulathoor ,
Whose   temple   grew up as if it is held  in our hands,
To be made in to a poem , let  Lord Subramanya Guru, Sarasawathi and Ganapathi  protect us.

Muntharul  shivanai  pohti  moorkhanaam  asuran  pahti
Indhiravaramum  ettri  eeshanaar  vesham  thottri
Painthodi  pakara nirthi  paarthipan  viraham  maattri
Santhathiyaana  moorthey  dharmasasthrey  namasthey

Hail to  Shiva   who is pleased first , who to kill  the   bad Asura*,
Based on the boon given  to Indra,  took  a form  different from his own,
Made  Goddess Parvathi stand  and  put an end to problem of Arjuna,
And Oh Sastha   who  is his   son, my salutations.

*Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi took  the form of hunters to kill an asura  to help Arjuna

Konkani kusavum katti kovai vaii   idazhum moodi,
Poonkuyil kuralum ittu, Poorna pushkalayayum vettu,
Pangudan karantha nattin bhakthanukku abhayam ittu ,
Then kavi  kavithai ootum chelvan mel   cholven Pattu.

Showing  his  armoured chest , closing his  mouth as red as  Kovai fruit,
Sounding like   the  koel of the flower, marrying  Poorna and Pushkala,
With grace , he gave   protection to the devotee  of Karantha Nadu* ,
And singing the southern poetry  is my darling and  I will tell songs about him.
     *Kulathoor  belongs to Karanthai  agraharam

Aanai  maamukhaney  unthan  malaradi  paninthen
Bhootha  senakaavananaam  enkal  then  kulathoorilayyan
Kaanakam  thannil  munnaal  karuthudan  udhitha  sheykai
Jnaanamaai  naanum  paada  naavil  vantharuluvaayey

I salute at   your lotus like feet , oh  God having face  of a big elephant,
And our lord of Thenkulathoor , the protector   of Bhoothas ,
Who appeared with great  good intention   inside  the  forest
Please  come  on my toungue    so that , I can sing about it.

Neeradiye  mulai paal ooti  , nithyam nithyam thalaati,
Ubamayai thottil aati , thanayar irandum paarattiye,
Adiyaar  thamakku  parinchudarai neerattil vaazhum Gananadhan padam ,
Dhinam thozhaai   nenjame .

After taking bath, feeding breast milk , daily and daily singing lullabies ,
After rocking two cradles, when both sons appreciated  ,
The Ganesa lives as a flame   in the heart  of devotees,
And please   salute   his feet   daily, oh mind.


Thejo  mandala  madhyagam  thrinayanam  divyaambaraalankrutham
Devam  pushap  sharekshu  kaarmukalasath  maanikya  paathraabhayam
Bibraanam  kara pankajair  madhagaja  skanthaathi  roodam  vibhum
Saasthaaram  varadham  namaami sathatham  thrai lokya  sammohanam

I daily salute  that  Sastha   who gives us boons, who  is prettiest   in the three  worlds,
Who is in the middle of   shining  orbit, who has three  eyes, who wears divine cloths,
Who is the god with flowers, bow  , arrow  , vessel of Manikhya gem  ,
Who protects the Brahmins by his lotus  like hand and rides  on an elephant .


Sree  poornaa  pushkalaabhyaam  bhrushamathi  vilasath Paarshwa  bhaagam  gajendram
Skandhaaroodathigamyam  mukulitha  nayanam Mohini  mohanaangam
Naanaarathnoughabhoosham  sphadiga  maninibham Bhasma  hasthena  deeptham
Saasthaaram  saarvabhowmam  sakala  shubhakaram Sarvakaalam  namaami.

I always  salute the great Lord Sastha , who  grants all auspiciousness,
Who shines   along with Poorna   and Pushkala , who has  an elephant at his side,
On whom he rides , who has flower like eyes, Who is the pretty son of Mohini,
Who wears several costly  gems , Who shines  like crystal, and who wears sacred ash on his hand

SLOKAM
           (Sanskrit verses)

            1.Drushtwaa  mayaa swaroopam  , Shiva hrudayaharam,
Basma  paitheya   sathrum,
Vishnum devo   mahesam  madana vara vasaan,
Thapa sambhogamasmath

Jatham  lokopakare    Harihara  thanayam  ,
Thanveenaam bana hastham  ,
Vandheham  Bhoothanadham  , sakala ripu haram,
Sooryakodi prakasam

After Seeing   the illusory form which was stealing the mind of Lord Shiva,
Of Lord Vishnu   who was  the  father  of the enemy whom he burnt ,
Shiva got in to the hold of God of love  and made  love to him.

Then the son was born to Shiva and Vishnu   for helping the world ,
That  Lord of the Bhoothas   saluted ,  the bow holding mother ,
And became the   destroyer of all enemies and had the light of billion suns.

            2.Aa shyaama komala vishaalathanum vichitram

Who has the peculiar pretty black body colour,

            When power  of  attraction  of  Lord Shiva ,
            Who wears   the moon  started shining in the limbs,
            Of  the Lotus    eyed   one who had taken the form of a woman,
            In the Kulathoor which  originated   from chenkai

            Pandu  paandya  raajan  mandalam  thanniley
            Kondu  varum  puli  kandu  bhayam  kondu
            Vandaar  kuzhal  maathar  dhandanidum  unthan
            Pundareeka ppadham  rendayyum -  kandu naan     (ayyanai…..)

            In the olden days    in the kingdom of Pandya ,
             Scared  by the tiger    that   you brought ,
            The pretty woman whose hair attracts   the bees,
            Saluting   both   your  lotus  feet  and I saw  you

            Dharaniyil  pukazh  noorani  thanniley
            Pooranai  pushkalai  sherum  oyyaaranai
            Aaranarkal  vedha  paaraayanam  sheyyum
            Veera  manikanta veeraa – un paadhathil      (ayyanai…..)

            In Noorani which is famous in this world ,
            Oh pretty one who is   joined by Poorna   and Pushkala,
             Where   Brahmins     are    reading the Vedas,
             Oh Valorous Mani Kanta ,  on your feet

             In the olden times for   the sickness  of wife of  the Pandya king,
            The Lord Manikanda brought a tigress   which made   the entire world shiver.
