Dikshitar's Panchalinga Krithis
Swami Pallasena
Muthuswami Dikshitar's Pancha Linga Krithis
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lord Siva, according to the Hindu belief, is manifest
in the form of the five basic elements,
ether, air, light (fire), earth and water,
which make up the universe. The Pancha Li.nga Krithis
of Dikshitar are dedicated to these five forms
of Lord Siva. These krtis are composed respectively at
the temples of Chidambaram (ether), Kalahasti (air),
Tiruvannamalai (fire), Kancipuram (earth) and Jambukesvaram (water).
These Krithis are:
Ananda Natanapraksam (Kedaram, Misra Chapu) (Chidambaram)
Sri Kalahastisa (Huseni, Jhampa) (Kalahasti)
Arunachalanatham (Saranga, Rupakam) (Tiruvannamalai)
Chintaya Makanta (Bhairavi, Rupakam) ( Kanchipuram)
Jambupate (Yamunakalyani, Rupakam) (Jambukesvaram - Tiruvanaikka
A secondary set of Pancha Li.ga krithis were
also composed by Muthuswami Dikshitar, on the five
Lingas of Lord Siva located in the temples in and around Tiruvarur.
These are the temples of Achalesvara, Hataksvara,
Valmkesvara, Anandesvara and Siddhisvara.
These are referred to as Tiruvarur Panchalinga krtis, and
for distinction, the previous group is appropriately called
Bhuloka Panchalinga krithis.
These krithis are:
Sadacalesvaram (Bhupalam, Adi) (Achalesvara)
Hatakesvara (Bilahari, Rupakam) ( Hatakesvara)
Sri Valmikalingam (Kambhoji, Ata) (Valmikesvara)
Anandesvarena (Anandabhairavi, Misra Chapu) (Anandesvara)
Siddhisvaraya (Nilambari, Misra Chapu) (Siddhisvara)
There is a recording of the main Pancha Linga
Krithis by D.K.Jayaraman and disciples (Keerthana
Label). Among the second batch, the Krithi
Sadachaleswaram in Bhupalam (Dikshitar style,
which diffes from Tyagaraja's) is
often heard in concerts. The Anandabhairavi Krithi
is sung in a cassette by Sankaran Nambudiri
