Dear Sri Govindan
AP – Some people sing as “dinamu kaDupumanina”. They probably do not know that kaDupu means stomach.
CaraNam- One senior vidushi keeps on singing as “sulabhamugA gaDa tEranu”. She probably wants gaDapakanE and gaDatEranu to rhyme.
Regards
Govindaswamy
we have to appreciate that the telugu grammar which was followed when tyagaraja was writing this and the present day usage of telugu are quite different. It is quite right according to grammar thar "sulabhamugA gaDatEranu" is sung as according a sootra of telugu grammar all ka,cha,Ta,ta, pa becomes ga,ja,Da,da,ba during certain usage. this is the reason for the confusion in the first place relating to kaDupu and gaDupu also. my suggestion would be to understand the meaning of each word and then sing with or without the grammar adjustment called sandhi depending upon the convenience so that the bhaava is not destroyed
Greatly appreciate the effort. Could understand the real meaning of words of the Great Sage Thyagaraja.
Was in fact exploring on raga Malaya marutha and got into this excellent piece. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the efforts. Could have a real sense of the Bhava with word by word meanings.. That too in so many languages.
