Yendraikku Siva Krupai Varumo
By Neelakanda Sivan
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[Sage Neelakanta Sivan was a great composer belonging to South Travancore and
lived at the end of 19th century. Though a very great composer of Carnatic music
Krithis, many people do not know about him. His Disciple Papanasam Sivan is
however well known. www.carnaticcorner.com/articles/nilakanta_sivan.html as well
as www.carnatica.net/neelakantasivan.htm give a detailed account of this
composer and his Krithis. Though he is said to have composed over 2000 Krithis
very few of them are now available.]

English translation
Pallavi
When will I get the grace of Lord Shiva,
When will my mental wobbling be cut off
Anupallavi
You looked after me like a cow melting on seeing its calf,
And without any fear, removed all sorrows from my mind
Charanam
You showed me that you won over the sorrows I had,
And removed all the unnecessary darkness and made it meaningful,
And I relaxed myself within you and reached the great shore of happiness,
And reached the lotus like feet of Neelakanta who stood there.
