Yen Indha Thamadham Meenakshi

Yen Indha Thamadham Meenakshi
By Neelakanta 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.]

Pallavi
Yen indha thamatham Meenakshi, manam,
Irangi vandhu thanthu arum thiru kakshi

Anupallavi
Nee ninainthal nadavathathum undo,
Nithya Kalyani, yen pethavale kandayi

Charanam
Sodhanaiyam yendralum naan manam porukken,
Thurumbena thallinalum ini unai verukken,
Nee thanai aalavayil Neelakandanai mevi,
Niranthara arul purinthu yethum tharum para devi.

English translation

Pallavi
Why this delay Meenakshi, please come,
Take mercy and show me your divine form.

Anupallavi
Is there anything which will not happen as per your wish,
Oh forever holy one, oh my mother, can’t you see

Charanam
Even if it is a test, I cannot control my mind,
Even if you forsake me like a dried grass, I will not hate you,
Oh Goddess, you who have depended on God of Madhurai,
Oh great goddess, please shower and fulfill all my wishes.
