Devi Brova- MS SUBBULAKSHMI-Chintamani

[ksviewerx]

Wow! She must be 80-81 in this video... just imagine the kind of practice (or should I say sadhakam) she must have done to keep singing like this even at that age. And what feeling!....what sublime bhava!

PS : While a lot is written about MS Amma's voice, not much is written about her relentless efforts to maintain it in it's sublime form...

[samaganam]

@ksviewerx yes,sadhana.sadhana like anything.

Is it just me that or is the video slightly out of sync with the audio? I can see the words getting mouthed earlier than the sound (I guess since light travel faster than sound :-) ). Of course, none of this takes away from the divinity of MS' singing.

Talli here means O Mother. I am sure Sri Shyama Sastry meant that with all his bhakti

Talli, more often than not means mother - goes with Tandri for father.

Syam Krishnuni sodhari kaumari Bimbaadhari Gowri

Hemapaangi Lalitha paradevatha - These are devi's names, with Shyama Krishnuni sodhari meaning "Sister of Shyama Krishna"

Kamakshi ninnu vinaa bhoomilo prematho

kaappaadevaarevaru unnaarammaa thalli - Kamakshi, but for you, who on earh would, with love, protect and save us, O woman

Note: Thalli - is a common way of referring to a woman in Telugu, like "amma" in Tamizh.

[chandru80in]

Devi brova samayamidhe - Devi now is the time to save (me)

Athi vegame vacchi naa vedhalu theerchi - Come really fast to rid me of my sorrows

Karunimpavae Shankari - Protect me, O Shankari

Loka Janani naa pai daya ledhaa - Mother of the Universe, do you not have sympathy on me

Ekaamresharuni priya bhamayi unna neeku - To you, the one who is Kanchi Ekamreshwarar's favorite

emamma, entho bhaarama vinumaa thalli - What is the burden you feel, please listen O woman

[Chempadu123]

thanks chandru for the tanslation. No doubt Telugu is a derivative of Tamil. This one song is a solid proof

[registrationannoys]

@Chempadu123 lol

[raghusrinivas]

@Chempadu123 Like all other Indian languages , Telugu is a derivative of Sanskrit and not Tamil. Some Tamil historians however claim Tamil is not a derivative of Sanskrit, but has an independent origin.

[dsridharaniyer]

Excellent! can anybody post the meanings of the lyrics which are in Telugu I suppose??

[chandru80in]

I am not a Teluguite and my Telugu is very rustic, learnt from being around with Telugu friends at college. I attempt only to provide a gist, from what I know of the language:

[balamss]

pallavi Devi brova samayamidhe Athi vegame vachchi naa vedhalu theerchi karunimchave Shankari Kamakshi caraNam 1 Loka Janani naa pai daya ledha nee daasudu kaadha Sri Kanchi Vihaarini Kalyani Ekamreshvaruni priya bhamayi yunna neeku enamma entho bhaaramaa vinumaa thalli caraNam 2 Syam Krishnuni sodhari kaumari Bimbaadhari Gowri Hemapaangi Lalitha paradevatha Kamakshi ninnu vinaa bhoomilo prematho kaappaadevaarevaru unnaarammaa thalli
