namastE!
Sree raamakRshNa gaari post on seasonal poems translated the word
"kanduva" in one of the poems as "season." That got me thinking
as I have come across this word, especially in annamaachaarya
keertanalu, several times and its meaning seems to change with
context. For example, in "alarulu kuriyaga naaDenadE .. " one
charaNam goes:
chindula paaTala siri(Siri?) polayaaTala
andela mrOtala naaDe nadE
kanduva tiruvenkaTapati mechchaga
andapu tirupula nalamEl(u) manga
In another keertana, "tandanaanaa aahi .." one charaNam goes:
kanduvagu heenaadhikamu lindu lEvu
andariki SreeharE antaraatma
indulO jantukula mintaa nokaTE
andariki SreeharE antaraatma
Obviously the meaning of of "kanduva" is not intutively obvious!
Similarly, I wonder about the meaning/origin of the words:
musaLLa panDaga
terachi raaju
muttaiduva/aidava tanam (I have some understanding of this term from
an exchange with Sreenivaas paruchoori but I would like to know
what the rest of you think)
