നാഗേശാ കരുണ സിന്ധോ.. പരിപാഹി

|അനുപല്ലവി|

നാഗേശാ ജഗദീശാ പരമേശാ ശിരോഭൂഷാ

ആശു കന്മഷ നാശ ശേഷ വിശേഷ രൂപമശേഷ  ദോഷ

വിനാശ മന്ദര പാഷ നാഗേശാ വിശ്വൈക രക്ഷക

(നാഗേശ കരുണസിന്ധോ..)

|ചരണം-1|

നിന്തിരുവടിയുടെ പ്രഭയല്ലാതടിയങ്ങൾ

എന്തൊന്നുണ്ട്   അവലംബമായ്  ദയാംബുദ്ധെ

വന്ദിച്ചീടുന്നേൻ ഭക്ത്യാൽ  പദംബികേ

അന്തസുന്ദര രൂപ ഇന്ദിര കാന്ത ശയനം അനന്ത

തീര പയോധി പാലന ശാന്ത മുനി വന്ധ്യാ ....ഭക്തി ശുഭചിന്ത

(നാഗേശ കരുണസിന്ധോ..)

|ചരണം-2|

ധരണിയിൽ മരുവുന്നേൻ  ദുരിത വാരിധി മദ്ധ്യേ

കരം എന്നെ കരകേറ്റേണം കരുണാബ്‌ധേ

കരുതുന്നേൻ തിരുരൂപം ഞാൻ മനതാരിൽ

ചാരു മാരസ മാനശോഭ കലർന്ന രൂപമതിന്നു  

കാരണമായ് വരേണമെനിക്കു ദോഷഹരം ...ശങ്കരാഭരണാ

(നാഗേശ കരുണസിന്ധോ..)

Summary :     This devotional song is an ardent hymn dedicated to Lord Nagaraja (the Serpent King, revered as Ananta Sesha / Vasuki), highlighting both his role as the adornment of Lord Shiva and the cosmic couch of Lord Vishnu. The lyrics depict a devotee stranded amidst the worldly ocean of sorrow and misfortune, praying earnestly for divine intervention, compassionate rescue, and liberation from all sins. While the text refers to sacred mythological backdrops such as the shores of the Cosmic Ocean of Milk (Ksheerasagara) and invocations of deities like Shiva, Vishnu, and the divine Mother, no specific geographic temple shrine is explicitly named in the lyrics. It remains a personal, traditional regional supplication centered entirely on total surrender to the sovereign snake deity as the supreme refuge.

Pallavi: O Lord of Serpents, boundless ocean of compassion, please protect and preserve me.

Anupallavi: O sovereign ruler of serpents, Lord of the universe, Supreme Lord, and the adornment upon the divine head, You swiftly annihilate inner sins and impurities; embodying the wondrous form of the primordial serpent Ananta Sesha, You destroy every conceivable blemish and dispel inner snares, reigning as the supreme serpentine protector of the cosmic worlds.

Charanam-1: O ocean of tender mercy, other than the resplendent aura of Your holy feet, what refuge or support exists for humble servants like us? With deep devotion I bow before You, who reflect inner supreme beauty and serve as the celestial reclining bed for Indira’s beloved Lord Vishnu, peacefully sustaining creation by the tranquil shores of the milk ocean and revered by serene sages through sacred contemplation.

Charanam-2: Living upon this mortal earth stranded in the turbulent ocean of afflictions and sorrow, take hold of my hand and safely lift me ashore, O ocean of grace. In my inner heart I constantly envision Your holy divine form glowing with the radiance that rivals the god of beauty; may the contemplation of this auspicious, graceful form become the sole cause for eradicating all my misfortunes, sins, and suffering, O ornament of Shiva.
