#Alaap is a series of songs that have been played during Darshans with #Sadhguru by #SoundsofIsha. This is the next song in that series.
Among the Pancha Bhutakritis or songs of the five elements, Ananda Natana Prakasham, sung in Raga Kedaram and composed by Shri Muthuswami #Dikshitar, is dedicated to the Lord of Chidambaram, where he is worshipped as Akasha (space). We hope you enjoy this rendition of Ananda Natana Prakasham by Sounds of Isha.
Pallavi:
Ananda natana prakasham
Chit-sabhesham
Ashrayami shivakamah valli-isham
I seek refuge in the one radiantly manifest with the dance of joy, the lord of the hall of consciousness and the lord of Goddess Shivakamavalli,
Anupallavi:
Bhanukoti koti samkasham
Bhukti mukti prada dahara-akasham
Dinajana samrakshana chanam
Divyapatanjalivyaghrapada-darshitakunchita-abhyacharanam
Ananda natana prakasham
The one brilliant as countless suns, the giver of enjoyment and liberation, the embodiment of the inner space (in the heart), the one renowned for protection of poor and destitute people, the one with a bent (lifted) lotus-like foot, (that was) displayed (during the dance) to the Devas, Patanjali and Vyaghrapada.
Caranam:
Shitamshuganga dharam nilakandharam
Shrikedara-adikshetra-adharam
Bhutesham shardula charma-ambaram
Chid-ambaram
The one bearing the moon (who has cool rays) and the Ganga, the blue-throated one, one who is the foundation of (the sanctity) of sacred places such as Kedara, the lord of the (five) elements, the one wearing a tiger-skin as garment, the lord of #Chidambaram (the firmament of consciousness).
Bhu-sura tri-sahasra munishvaram
Vishveshvaram navanita hridayam
Sadaya guru guhatatam-adyam
Veda vedyam vitaraginama prameya
Advaita pratipadyam
Sangita vadya vinoda tandava jatabahu tarabheda chodyam
The lord of the three thousand Brahmin sages, the ruler of the universe, the one whose heart is (soft, easily melted) like butter, the father of the merciful Guruguha, the primordial one, the one understood through the Vedas, the one devoid of desire or attachment, the immeasurable one, the one expounded by Advaita. He performs various forms of dances to the accompaniment of music and musical instruments. He imparts knowledge to His devotees and becomes the answer to the questions of his devotees.
Ananda natana prakhasam
Chit-sabhesam
Ashrayami shivakamah valli-isham
Lyrics in Sanskrit:
पल्लवि
आनन्द नटन प्रकाशं चित्सभेशं
आश्रयामि शिव काम वल्लीशम्
अनुपल्लवि
भानु कोटि कोटि संकाशं
भुक्ति मुक्ति प्रद दहराकाशम्
दीन जन संरक्षण चणं
(मध्यम काल साहित्यम्)
दिव्य पतञ्जलि व्याघ्र पाद-
दर्शित कुञ्चिताब्ज चरणम्
चरणम्
शीतांशु गङ्गा धरं नील कन्धरं
श्री केदारादि क्षेत्राधारम्
भूतेशं शार्दूल चर्माम्बरं चिदम्बरं
भू-सुर त्रि-सहस्र मुनीश्वरं विश्वेश्वरम्
नवनीत हृदयं सदय गुरु गुह तातं
आद्यं वेद वेद्यं वीत रागिणं
अप्रमेयाद्वैत प्रतिपाद्यं
सङ्गीत वाद्य विनोद ताण्डव –
जात बहु-तर भेद चोद्यम्
