Lyrics

उपवर झाली लेक लाडकी, लग्नाला आली

स्वयंवराची तिच्या घोषणा द्रुपदाने केली

Upavara zhālī leka lāḍakī lagnālā ālī

Svayaṃvarācī ticyā ghoṣaṇā Drupadāne kelī

"My cherished daughter has come of age to marry"

Drupada made a proclamation of her Self-Choice

सुवर्णस्तम्भावरी बसविली फिरती मत्स्याकृती

तेलामाजी बिम्ब पाहुनी छेदिल हो कोण ती

छेदिल त्याला विवाहमाला घालील पाञ्चाली

Suvarṇa-stambhāvarī basavilī phiratī matsy'ākṛtī

Telāmājī bimba pāhunī chedila ho koṇa tī

Chedila tyālā vivāha-mālā ghālīla Pāñcālī

On a golden pillar, he fixed a revolving fish-shape

"Watching its reflection in oil, say, who will pierce it?

Pañcāla's girl will confer the bridal garland on him who pierces"

रतीहुनी ती अतीव सुन्दर सुभगा गुणशालिनी

मऊ रेशमी अलकभार तर ख्यात स्वरूपाहुनी

धनुर्धरांच्या मनीची आशा आव्हाना टपली

Ratīhunī tī at'īva sundara subhagā guṇa-śālinī

Maū reśamī alaka-bhāra tara khyāta svarūpāhunī

Dhanurdharāñcyā manīcī āśā āvhānā ṭapalī

She exceeds Pleasure in beauty, desirable, virtuous ...

Soft, silky tress-masses more famous than her own looks

In bowmen's thoughts, aspiration arrived to invite them

स्वयंवराचा भरला मण्डप, गर्दी तरी ती किती

देशदेशीचे जमले होते रणशार्दूल नृपती

भावासंगे तेजस्विनी ती सभागृही आली

Svayaṃvarāçā bharalā maṇḍapa, gardī tarī tī kitī

Deśa-deśīçe zamale hote raṇa-śārdūla nṛpatī

Bhāvā-saṃge tejasvinī tī sabhā-gṛhī ālī

The Self-Choice venue filled up, what a crowd it was!

From every land, noble tigers of battle had assembled

With her brother, the radiant one reached the assembly

हत्तीवरुनी जणू चमकली समूर्त सौदामिनी

सूतपुत्र अन् कर्ण राहिला उभा त्वरे उठुनी

हीनकुळीचा म्हणून तयाला संधी नच दिधली

Hattīvarunī zaṇū çamakalī samūrta saudāminī

Sūta-putra an Karṇa rāhilā ubhā tvare uṭhunī

Hīna-kuḷīçā mhaṇūna tayālā saṃdhī naca didhalī

Off her elephant she flashed like personified lightning

And the sūta's son Karṇa quickly got up and stood

Of a low family, he was not given an opportunity

इतुके होते तरीही कृष्णा कुणातरी न्याहाळी

ब्राह्मणवेषे तोच निरखिला अर्जुन नृपमण्डळी

जीवाशिवासम त्या दोघांची दृष्टभेट झाली

Ituke hote tarīhī Kṛṣṇā kuṇātarī nyāhāḷī

Brāhmaṇa-veṣe toça nirakhilā Arjuna nṛpa-maṇḍaḷī

Jīvā-śivāsama tyā doghāñcī dṛṣṭa-bheṭa zhālī

So much happened, and yet Kṛṣṇā gazed at someone

Spotted that very Arjuna in brāhmaṇa guise out of kings assembled

Like soulmates, those two met through their sights

त्या नजरेने स्फुरले बाहू, वीर सिद्ध झाला

अचूक लावुनी बाण तयाने मत्स्यभेद केला

धनंजयाच्या गळां धन्य ती वरमाला पडली

Tyā nazarene sphurale bāhū, vīra siddha zhālā

Açūka lāvunī bāṇa tayāne matsya-bheda kelā

Dhanaṃjayācyā gaḷāṃ dhanya tī vara-mālā paḍalī

With that look, his arms swelled, the hero got ready

Aiming an unerring arrow, he broke the fish

Around Dhanaṃjaya's neck fell that lucky choice-garland

Syamala dandakam is a powerful sloka on Goddess syamala the giver of wisdom. This work was done by Sri Mahakavi kalidasa, an eminent Indian poet.

Though various stories were in circulation on the life and times of the famed Sanskrit scholar and poet Kalidas, the most prevalent among them was the one which says that he had served in the court of King Vikramadithya who ruled from Ujjain and after his death King Bhoja of Dhaara (present day Dhar in Madhya Pradesh) invited him to join his court where he wrote some of the great classics in Indian literature – ‘Meghasandesam’ and ‘Abhigjnana Sakunthalam’ to name a few, that had a great influence even on Western authors.

A sheppard without any basis in academics marrying a princess, turning into a great poet with the blessings of the Goddess, forgetting his past and finally reuniting with his wife. That is the story.

It is in Sanskrit--

Movie-Mahakavi kalidasu

Actor-ANR

Singer-- Ghantasala
