I transcribed it in devanagari based on my limited sanskrit knowledge and try to put as correct word as possible. I doubt she or other singers did iota of research to find the original script. Other performers including Yesudas are much worse.


स्वागतं कृष्ण शरणागतं कृष्ण

मथुरापुरिसदन मृदुवदन मधुसूदन

इह स्वागतं कृष्ण शरणागतं कृष्ण


भोगदात सुलभ सुपुष्पगन्ध कळभ

कस्तूरी तिलक महिका मम कान्तनन्द गोपकन्द

स्वागतं कृष्ण शरणागतं कृष्ण


मुष्टिकासुर चाणूरमल्ल मल्लविशारद मधुसूदन

कुवलयापीडा मर्दन कालिङ्ग नर्तन गोकुलरक्षण सकलसुलक्षण देव

शिष्ठजनपाल संकल्प कल्प कल्पशतकोटी असमपराभव

धीर मुनिजन विहारा मदनसुकुमार दैत्यसंहार देव

मधुर मधुररति साहस साहस व्रज युवतीजनमानसपूजित ।


Everyone does happily sing मदुरापुरी, hope someone can correct this madness. I saw a youtube video for मेधा सूक्तम् । Everyone was happily singing मेदा । I wish people understand the differnce between मेदा & मेधा ।


Here are my questions


1. Is it मधुरापुरी or मथुरापुरी । Krishna's residence was मथुरा before the move to द्वारका।

2. What are the meaning of words highlighted in Red

3. How Krishna got the name मधुसूदन ? (मधु & कैटभ were killed by Vishnu) was there any other राक्षस named मधु?

4. Please highlight my typos in Devanagari as well


I would appreciate your help in finding the correct lyrics. What puzzles me why people post these lyrics online unfortunate thing is it shows up in the first google search.

Namaste,

There is a website dedicated to the composer of this kirtana, Oothukadu Venkata Kavi. The lyrics available at this site seems complete and reliable.

shankara

Thank you for sharing I am not interested in more butchered versions. I was looking for original text. Shankara Ji shared the text, and hopefully in future someone with better pronunciation and singing skills will create one 

Thank you

Sri Sitaram-ji,

If you observe closely , the lyric has anupraasa repetition of a consonant as an alankaara in it. 

So, it is possible that the original vaaggeyakaara himself had 

"maduraa puri sadanaa mridu vadanaa madusoodanaa iha " 

Tamil has this tendency.

कळभ​/कलभ​ is also a word in Malayalam, a south Indian language. It means sandalwood paste that devotees apply to their foreheads. The same word (कलभ) appears in कलभाभिषेकम् (I'm using Devanagari to transliterate a Malayalam word), which means applying sandalwood paste to a मूर्ति in temple (this is usually performed by a priest). कलभ is also used loosely to mean a mixture.

Namaste,

Sabdataravali, a Malayalam lexicon, defines Kalabha as a mixture of 8 stubstances. Sandalwood is one among them.

I think that Original composition must have been sanskrit. But this definately is not. I never heard ढा in any Indian music scale.
There are many typos for basic words which are commonly used in many Indian languages.
