ഹന്ത! ഭാഗ്യംLink(AI_M)Link(AI-TRACK)

ഹന്ത! ഭാഗ്യം, കിമിതു ഭാഗ്യം? സഖേ! കാരുണ്യം തവ തുല്യം

ഭജയാമി സതതം   പുണ്യ കൃതേ

ബാല്യസുഹൃത്തമിഹസ്ഥം കണ്ടമാത്രയിൽ ബാഷ്പപൂർണ്ണമാനയാമി ഹൃദയം

സാന്ദീപനിമുനിശിഷ്യഗണങ്ങളിൽ സാധുവാം നിന്നോളുണ്ടോ പ്രിയൻ?

കനകശോഭിതപീതാംബരം ത്യജിതു കാലാനുഗതിയെ പുണർന്നേതു ഞാൻ

പദങ്ങൾ തൊഴുതു കഴുകി ഞാനിന്നു പരമപവിത്രമാക്കുന്നു ഗേഹം

കുചേല! കുഞ്ചിതവസ്ത്രമെന്തു നൽകുവാ- നയീ കരതലത്തിൽ മറച്ചുവെച്ചു?

A Kathakali Padam (Hanta! Bhagyam Krishna meets Kuchela): By Satish Menon

This Kathakali Padam is set in Dheerashanti (calm and noble) style, capturing the moment Lord Krishna sees his impoverished childhood friend, Kuchela (Sudama), at the gates of Dwaraka. The language is a blend of Sanskrit and Malayalam (Manipravalam), typical of the art form.

Thala: Chempada

Pallavi Hanta! Bhagyam, kimithu bhagyam? Sakhe! Karunyam thava thulyam! (Oh! What luck, what divine fortune is this?) (My friend! Your compassion is beyond compare!)

Anupallavi Balya-suhrutham-ihastham kanda-mathrayil Bhashpa-purnam-anayami hridayam. (The moment I see my childhood friend standing here,) (My heart overflows and eyes fill with tears.)

Charanam Sandipani-muni-shishya-ganangalil Sadhuvam ninnol-undo priyan? (Among all the disciples of Sage Sandipani,) (Is there anyone dearer than you, O virtuous one?)

Kanaka-shobhitha-pithambaram thyajithu Kalanu-gathiye punarnnethu njan. (Discarding my gold-woven silken robes,) (I run toward you to embrace your very soul.)

Padangal thozhuthu kazhuki njan-innu Parama-pavithram-akkunnu geham. (I shall wash your feet with my own hands today,) (And make this palace supremely sanctified.)

Kuchela! Kunchitha-vastram-enthu nalkuva- Nayee karathalathil-marachu-vechu? (Kuchela! What have you hidden in your palm,) (Wrapped so tightly within that tattered cloth?)
