I have a presentation on South Indian classical music coming up on Tuesday. I wanted to introduce my class to M.S. Subbulakshmi's life and wanted to let them hear a clip of raghuvamsa sudha - raagam: kathana kuthuhulam. I was wondering if anyone here might have the translation to the lyrics of the song. Immediate help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

doesnt anyone know the meaning of the lyrics to "Raghuvamsa sudha"...I only know the meaning of the pallavi. Help would be appreciated.
vishka,
Here is a rough (crude?) translation:
.................................................. .................................................. ......
Oh king of kings Ramaa
You are the moon who makes the ocean of Raghu's (Sun) race rise
You are the (forceful) wind which disperses the clouds of sin
You are the king of the jungle, the lion who tames the elephant-like demons (asuraas)
You are the protector of the world
You are the one who put an end to the arrogance of Parasurama
You are the victorious
you are the one who waged a war to the amazement of Shiva and others
You honored (are the jewel in) the race of the Sun(Raghu), the friend of the lotus
Venkatesa, you are the possesor of immeasurable and wonderful brightness
.................................................. .................................................. ......
I hope this helps. My Sanskrit is too rusty and very limited. A lot of people post Sanskrit verses in other threads. I was waiting for them to help you.
Good luck in your presentation.
Thanks for the translation. Really appreciate the help.
