सुवक्षोजकुम्भां सुधापूर्णकुम्भां
प्रसादावलम्बां प्रपुण्यावलम्बाम् ।
सदास्येन्दुबिम्बां सदानोष्ठबिम्बां
भजे शारदाम्बामजस्रं मदम्बाम् ॥१॥

On the auspicious occasion of Guru Poornima (July 16th 2019), my sister S.Saundarya and I are indeed blessed to present “Sharadhe Karunanidhe” a composition of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Mahaswami , the 34th Acharya of Sringeri Sharada Peetham ,
Goddess Sharadambika is truly the incarnation of Goddess Saraswati, who came to Earth as “Ubhaya Bharathi & the manifestation of Guru Swaroopini Herself - the embodiment of all Knowledge.
Sharade Karunanidhe
शारदे करुणानिधे
Raga: hamir kalyaNi,
Misra Chapu tALA.
Pallavi:

शारदे करुणानिधे स..कलानवाम्ब सदा जनान’
चारणादिम गीत वैभव पूरिताखिल दिक्तते
shAradE karuNAnidhE sakalAnavAmba sadA janAn
chAraNAdima gIta vaibhava pUritAkhila dictate


Meaning:

Oh Mother Sarada! Treasure of all mercy! Protect all the people always, You whose holy benign grace sung by the Vedas, the demigods and the human beings reverberates all over the quarters (directions) (Chaaranas are believed to be the divine singers and also are the bards in the King’s court).

Charanam 1:

भर्म भूषण भूषिते वर रत्न मौलि विराजिते
शर्मदायिनी कर्ममोचनी निर्मलम कुरु मानसम
bharma bhUSaNa bhUSite vara ratna mauLi virAjite
sharmadAyini karma mOcani nirmalam kuru mAnasam
Meaning:
Decked with glittering gold ornaments , a crown studded with precious stones, the giver of all comforts, reliever of people’s bonds of karma, please help us to keep our hearts blemishless.
Charanam 2:

हस्त संधृत पुस्तकाक्ष पटि सुधा घट मुद्रिके
कस्त वास्ति हि वर्णने चतुरों नर: खचरोथव
hasta sandhrta pustakaaksha paTI sudhaa ghaTa mudrikE
kasta vaasti hi varNane chaturO narakha charOtava

Meaning
Also adorned by a book, a garland of rudraaksha and the pot of nectar! Who on earth among (men) or elsewhere (the bards or the Gods) is capable of describing you in totality
This composition has been set to tune by Vidwan Sri R K Shriramkumar
