Dear Netters !!

In this series, I am going to write on "SrI jayadEvuni gIta
gOvinda mahA kAvyam", also known as "ashTapadulu".
SAstrIya sangItAniki tala mAnikamai, swara sAhityAniki Adi

Thanks for the inspiration from SrI PALANA gAru and other beloved
friends...
In each part, I'll present the basic samskRta sAhityam of some
ashTapadis in the RIT form, followed by some explanation, tAtparyamu ,
excerpts of the literary works on gItagOvindam and some vyAkhyAnam
related to it.. Pl. note that I am not presenting the entire "gIta
gOvindam" here, but only those popular verses which were in vogue
for centuries all over India in various forms such as songs which are
devotional and otherwise are reviewd here.
As U know, the tunes of these verses have been the heart
of carnatic and hindustAnI classical music for many centuries.
As far as possible, I'll indicate the most popular meaning
and raga of the verse but variations do exist among different
versions from different places. The same is true about some minor
variations in the lyrics, from various references and scriptures
found on "gIta gOvinda".
I request the knowledgeable netters and other friends to throw
some light by sharing their views and make this discussion meaningful
and fruitful.

jayadEva, one of the pioneers of great sanskrit poetry,
composed these poems around early 12th century according to manuscripts
found at various temples and other places in India. His devotion to
SrI kRshNa and his excellent poetic imagination and versification of
the rAdhA mAdhava praNayAmRtam has it's first place in the Sanskrit
literary world. They have been applauded for over many centuries by
many lauraetes, scholars, researchers and poets.

First of all, I'd like to thank Mr.Rambadhra Dokka for starting
such an interesting thread. I had a coupla' doubts since a long time. Hope
somebody can clear them.
In the movie 'Saagara Sangamam' Veturi had adopted two padhyas in
the songs. I later read them in 'Swathi' magazine.
I am not sure whether they are Barthruhari Subashithalu or
Jayadevuni ashtapadhulu. Can somebody through some light...?
The padyalu are
vaagardhaviva sampthrupthau
vaagardha prathi paththaye
jaga that pitarahu vandhe
paarvathi parameswaram..
jayanthithe sukruthinoh
rasasidhdhah kaveeshvaraayah
naasthi keshamyashah kaayeh
najaa maraNajam bhayam
Pl. excuse me is there are errors in the above. It's been a long time since
I heard them. What are they? I know what they mean (and I like it too!!!).
I was just curious to know what the other padhyas mean too.
