Meaning: (courtesy: rasikas.org)
pallavi

Oh wielder of the mighty spear (vElayyA), resident of tiruccendUr (sendil)! Why is your (nin) heart (cittam) not melting (irangAdEnayyA) even a bit (siridEnum) at the plight of this insignificant (siriyEniDam), lowly devotee of yours, Oh lord with six (Aru) mighty (mA) faces (mukhA)?

anupallavi
Why is your (nin) heart (cittam) not melting (irangAdEnayyA) even a bit (siridEnum) at the plight of this insignificant (siriyEniDam), lowly devotee of yours, Oh lord with six (Aru) mighty (mA) faces (mukhA)? For, have I not always believed (nambi) in you (unnai) as (enru) the friend/companion (bandhu) of the destitute (dIna) who is very compassionate (irangum) towards his (nin) devotees (bhaktarukku)?

caraNam:
I have attained (aDaindEnE) the refuge of your (undan) divine (tiru) feet (aDi) with the assurance that even if a huge mountain (malai) fell (vizhundAlum) on top of my head (talaiyil), you, the six-faced one (SaNmukhan), will be there (uNDu enru) to protect me, who worships (paNindu) and sings (pADi) your praises (bhajikkum) day (pagal) and night (iravum), by bearing the weight (tAnga) of my cross, to the acknowledgment (ariya) of the whole world (ulagam). Even if my cross (vinai) is as huge as a mountain, the universe (vaiyyam) will be amazed (viyakka) by how (irundAl) a tiny bit (tuLi) of your (undan) compassion (karuNai) will destroy it, as you protect me (tanai), rAmadAsan! (So, why is your (nin) heart (cittam) not melting (irangAdEnayyA) even a bit (siridEnum) at the plight of this insignificant (siriyEniDam), lowly devotee of yours, Oh lord with six (Aru) mighty (mA) faces (mukhA)?)

nithin baburaj is 100%right. vandhanamu raghu nandhanamulu and this are same in one of the most melodious ragam in carnatic music---sahana..these girls have done ample justice to music as well as the krithi.

If this is not perfection, what is? Wonderful melody, perfect synchronization, absolute shruti shuddha and soulful singing; what more can a listener ask for? Excellent accompanists, too. A most memorable performance.

@nithinbaburaj Another example is the very old film song "Paarthen sirithen pakkathil azhaithen"...which does the raga justice despite coming from the film angle.

[nithinbaburaj]

Is it only me or does it actually sound like Vandamu Raghu nandana...Yeah both are Shahana..Either way...It is awesome..And if any one is shahana fan..do listen to vandamu raghunandana by Bombay jayashree..

[Abira998]

I love the way they are singing the ragam Sahana so beautiful. One of my favourite ragams!

[RamLakshmanan]
