Translation of complete works of Poonthanam in to English done for the first time

Translation  of complete   works  of Poonthanam in to English done for the first time 

By

P.R.Ramachander

(You can see  English translation of fifty   stotra   works  of poonthanam. Though   few more people including  me have translated Jnana Pana , this is the first time all his enchanting  Stotra  rathnas  have been translated  in to English.)

       In spite  of Adhi Sankara , who has  himself composed large number of great devotional stotrams , being  born In Kerala  and in spite  of the Bhakthi movement which  was full  swing in neighboring   Thamizh Nadu  lead  by the Nayanmar’s(Shaivism)  and Azhvars (Vaishnavism) , the Bhakthi movement in Kerala started  only at the end of 15th centaury. Ofcourse Kulashekara Azhvar who wrote Mukunda Mala in Sanskrit  and several other Tamil works,  belonged to Kerala. This Bhakthi movement  of Kerala  was lead by four great poets viz Thunchathu Ezhuthachan, LeelaShuka called as Bilwamangalam Samiyar     , Meppathur Narayana Bhattathiri  and Poonthanam.While Bilwamangalam and  Meppathur  preferred to write in  Sanskrit , Thunjathu Ezhuthachan  and Poonthanam preferred to write  in Malayalam. Sri Krishna Karnamrutham   of Bilwamangalam who was  one of the pioneer of Krishna Bhakthi movement  , reached the hands of the savants of Bhakthi movement of Bengal and he became popular throughout India. But the other great writers were known only inside Kerala.  It was the great savant and Harikatha exponent of Tamil Nadu  Brahmasri  Sengalipuram Anantharama Deekshithar  who popularized Narayaneeyam,  the master piece of  Meppaathur in Tamil Nadu.   The other two   did not get  the popularity that  they deserved among the devotees outside Kerala  because , Malayalam   was not understood  outside Kerala. In spite of that many people did hear    about The Adhyathma Ramayanam kili pattu of Ezhuthachan and the Jnanapana  of Poonthanam.

   I  was mentally  instructed  by  Lord GUruvayurappan  to translate  the works of Stotra  of Poionthanam in to English. I did translate Jnana pana  about  10 years  back and poonthanam’s Bhasha Karnamrutham in 2012. I did translate   a few stotra earlier    and as per  the lord , I have translated   all the stotra   works of poonthanam    as well as Jnana pana (I have not translated  three  other Pana written by him)  as on today

. Poonthanam was  not his name but the name of the Nambudiri family that he  belonged.  We do not know his real name. Though he did learn Sanskrit, some how, he was more interested  in Malayalam. He used to live in a village called  Keezhathur   near Perinthalmanna of Kerala which was not very far away from Guruvayur.  He used to be a devotee of  the mother Goddess  of  Perinthalmanna, who also happened to be  the Kula Deivam of the Zamorin kings. He was not blessed  with a child  for a long time after marriage. Then a son was born to him. The child passed away  under  tragic circumstances  on its first birthday.  Being a great devotee  and a great philosopher , he  decided to go to Guruvayur. From that time onwards he became an ardent devotee of  Guruvaurppan. It was at this time  when Meppathur Narayana Bhatathiri , a great sanskrt scholar   and an ardent devotee  of Guruvayurappan was writing Narayaneeyam in Guruvayur. Poonthanam also started writing his  great works at that time. Most of the works of Poonthanam were in Malayalam  , few in simple Sanskrit and four of them in Tamil. Even in Malayalam  he took up for his writing  using  the Pana style which was  similar to the blank poem, with  very less  rules governing it  and written using the conversational Malayalam rather  than the Malayalam of the scholars  , which was mostly Sanskrit.   Some of the  great works that he wrote were  Jnana Pana, Kuchela Vrutham Pana , Santhana Gopalam Pana, Bhasha Kasrnamrutham and Kumara Haranam Pana. Out of this Jnana Pana was  a work of extreme devotion to Lord Krishna , with Advaitha philosophy  in simple language  so that it can be understood by the common people . Bhasha Karnamrutham was prayer songs addressed to Lord Krishna.  Then he also several stotras addressed mainly addressed to Krishna, but also addressed  to Shiva   as well as Goddess  Parvathi.

   There are many   stories about how Poonthanam was recognized  by Guruvayurappan himself. It seems once when he was reading Vishnu Sahasranamam, instead of reading Amara Prabhu (the eternal lord)  , he read Mara Prabhu(Woodden Lord)  It seems Meppathur  who heard that laughed at him. It is believed that  the voice of Guruvayurappan  from inside the temple ,told Meppathur, that he would prefer to be Poonthanam’s Mara Prabhu rather than bring  Meppathur’s  Amara Prabhu.  Another story tells how Meppathur refused  to edit the manuscript of Poonthanam on Bhasha Karnamrutham, saying that  it did not have Vibhakthi. That day night, Meppathur became very sick   and the Lord came in his dream in told him that Poonthanam’s Bhakthi was  more dear to him. There is also a story of How Once Guruvayurappan saved Poonthanam  from robbers in the guise of the Minister of Zamorin. It seems Poonthanam presented  him his  ring and next da, it appeared  in the sanctum sanctorum of Guruvayur temple and the priest was  ordered to return it to Poonthanam,. Poonthanam lived to the ripe old age of 92. When he became  unable to go to Guruvayurapan temple, the Lord himself came to Poonthanam’s house  and asked him to build a temple for him there. Poonthanam constructed the temple on the left side of his home and called  him Vamapureswaran. It is also believed  that the Lord personally came to take  Poonthanam to heaven.   I am very happy to  be able to translate   the following   works of Poonthanam in to English:-

Partha Saradhi Sthavam of Poonthanam

Partha  Saradhi  Sthavam

The prayer  to Partha  Saradhi( Charioteer of Arjuna)

By

Poonthanam

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

  1.Pangajaksha   , gatha  srungalam  puzha  kadathi ninne nija puthram,

Appen kidaavine viranjeduthu  vasudevan kamasannu  kodutha naal,

Amgreenaa pozhuthu kondu  chadudan uruttina   akhila  ranaangane,

Sangadopa samanaaya parthannu radham kidaaduga  thudanginaan. 

Oh lotus eyed one  on the day   when the chains were  broken , you

Who were  the real son was made to cross  the river, that  girl baby   was speedily,

Taken back and  was given by  Vasudeva to Kamsa, within  the  time of dawn,

You   rotated  the chariot  in the  war field  of the   world and for ,

Destroying  the sorrow of Arjuna, you  started  driving  his chariot.

2.Ketti vaar kuzhal  vakanju, pinnil  alakeshu peelikal  thoduthu,

Poompttu  kondu vadivodu uduthurasi   haramittu  vana malayum,

Pottaninja nidila thadathil udal parthu partha  radham methya ,

Chammatti  mushtiyil murukki ninnaruli, mishta  deivam upasmahe.

After combing anf tying  the pretty hair, , after  tying peacock feathers in the hair,

Dressing  up prettily   with flowery silk  cloth, wearing   the  forest  garland,

Wearing thilaka on the  long forehead, he saw  the  chariot   of Arjuna,

Tied one part of whip on his hand  and told him, “ You  worship  the God whom you like”

3.Chethazhinja chikurolkaram  , cheriya thara  kesa kala thothu,

Thoo nethi paadu  chitharum  viyarppil  olivuththu pathina ghanaalakaam,

Yethuvaan  abhi mukhee krutha prathi  nava  prathodhavalayaa mor,

Anpuththu  kamapi  krupaam   kiritee radha   rathna  deepa  kalikaam bhaje.

The slightly untied   hair  of yours defeated   the small stars and the crescent,

And in the sweat coming out    from your pure  forehead, shines your  thick hair,

And  he loaded  the  new   whip lash  in to the   chariot  which was facing him,

With love  towards   the chariot  of Arjuna and I worship the new  gem studded  lamp.

4.Noothenendhu   ramaneeya phala   bhoovipakidum  chila  manohara,

Swethapatha mrudhi thalake  , radha paraaga poora parishobhithe,

Paathi chimmina vilochane vihara mandha  hasa maya  chandrika,

Seethale thirumukhe mano vijitha saarase, vijaya saaradhe.

In the  pretty forehead   similar to the new  moon, which moves in the heaven,

In the   white path of the earth ,  in the chariot   which is running  with great luster,

With   eyes   half shut    and with  a moon like   face  pervaded by   moon,

With  a  cool face and  the mind   winning  over everything, is the  charioteer of  Arjuna.

5,Thooya gharma kana bindhu   sundara  lalata marjuna sarothkaraal,

Paayumarjuna suyodhanaadhi   pari bhoothi jatha hasithamkuram,

Saayakam  muthukilelkumaaru uzhari  meeyamana  radha  kaaya,

Maanaaya  charu kabaree  bharam  kanivodaayar nayaka  mupasmahe

With arjuna’s forehead  completely   filled   with drops of sweat,

When   Arjuna   and Duryodhana   sending each other  arrows,

You   changed the   direction of chariot   so that   the arrow hits  his back,

 Oh Lord  with mercy   with  pretty  curved  hair, I worship you.

6.Ardha meelitha vilochanam , vara  thuranga pura khuramethoraa,

YUdha bhoomiyilurumn narum podi  pozhinjazhinja kabharee bharam,

Hastha  pankaja lasathprathodha madhi chitha masthu mama partha-,

Saradhya keli lalitham  manognam oru vasthu yadhava  kulothbhavam.

With   half closed   eyes , with  great horses  running    about with its hoofs  and

The tiny  powder  of the battle field rises  covers his  opened  fallen hair,and then

With the  shining  lotus   flower in his hand he takes the whip  with a very firm  mind,

Our  Partha saradhi  who is bewitching is the  great  one of the yadhava clan.

7.Moodu maru bhuvanam thurangarajasaa  pathangaja  manobala,

Vaadum aru  , jayameedumaaru  vijayannu , vikrama  payonidhe,

Pedi poondu  pada  thothu  maththalar atheeva  nuthavar kalambu,

methodu maarariya ther kidaakina purana   dhama kalayamahe.

The horses ran   so that the dust that they raised   covered the world ,

Which made  the power of mind of Arjuna   increase, Oh store house  of valour,

And the army of the hundred   brothers   got scared and they  were  defeated,

And oh hero of our epics  who  drove  the chariot over them,.  I salute you.

8,Dartharashtramaya  kaattil arka sutha  saala moola  bhuvi  kathum,

Apartha pavaka  shikha  kalapa sameerana   durantharam,

Por thalathu kuthira  kulambu kilari podinja podi dhoomram,

Ather  thata sthitha orathillulla paramartha vasthu   pari pahi maam.

In the forest  of drutha rashta  the corner  where  Karna fights would burn,

And   the flame of fire called  Arjuna  stimulated   the   bitter   fight

And the dust  was  raised  by the hoofs of horses  in the battle field,

Oh thing of truth who is  in the corner  of the chariot , please  protect me.

9.peeli  chinni viriyunna veniyil maranja komala  mukhabhjam,,

AA lola haara nava hema sutthra  vanamalika  makara   kundalam,

Phala bala mathi melaninja kamaneeya gharma  kanikaamkuram,

kOla manchitha radham gatham  jayathi jaishnavam kimapi  vaishnavam.

 The pretty  lotus like face which was hidden in the spreading hair,

Wearing the swinging garland , gold chain , forest garland, The ear  globes,

The  pretty   small  hair         worn over   the  moon like  forehead of his ,

Took   the chariot    through  the curved path , hail  the victory  of the lord Vishnu

10.Paathu yadhava  kule pirannu   iniya  gopa sadmani  valarnnoru,

Mathru than  mula nukarnnu, paal  thayir  kavarnnu, konnu nija  mathulam,

Dhothanai mahitha  pandavarkkapi cha  soothanai  kuru kulam mudichu,

Aadhi medhiniyil mathi  vedar saramethu, pothi  paripahi  maam.

He was skillfully  born  in the clan of Yadhavas,  grew up  in the  homes  of Gopas,

He sucked   the breast of his mother  , stole  milk and curd, killed  his own uncle,

Went as   emissary to the  Pandavas , became charioteer  and  completely  destroyed,

The  Kuru clan and  being hit by a hunter’s   arrow  completed  his life on earth, Hail , protect me.

11.AAzhi thannil uragesanaaya mani metha mel azhakinodu  chernnu

Ezhu randulakam munpil  nethra  muna kondu   kaathu  kalithaadharam,

Choozhayulla muni deva jaathi pugazhunnathum  parichinodu,

Kettu  aazhimaathi nodu  koodiyulla kalikolumeeswara mupasmahe.

In the ocean  on the  great bed of serpent  prettily  slept  and   before  ,

The fourteen worlds he  protected   using  the tip of his  eyes and  murmur  of his lips,

And heard  all the praise   about him by   the   sages  as well  as devas,

And I salute   him  with his  plays   along with  daughter of ocean.
