Vidatha Talapuna Song lyrics and Meanings.
Wonderful song written by the best lyricist in the telugu industry about the symbol "Ohm" or "Aum" which is the most sacred syllable. There are facts saying that the vedas are originated from this "Aum".What a tremendous lines and understandings he has put in this lyrics. One need to be blessed to listen this song. Person who just believes in life and never bothers about death.
The worst part of our generation is we/I don't have grip on the Telugu language. Its really a bad fate.
I was asked by many of my friends about the words used in this lyrics ... so I thought of writing lines of this song here. No doubt I took almost 10 years to understand the complete meaning of this great lines in this song. I would like to explain the meaning up to my knowledge here in this post.

Lyrics In Telugu :
విధాత తలపున ప్రభవించినది అనాది జీవన వేదం ఓం!
ప్రాణ నాడులకు స్పందన నొసగిన ఆది ప్రణవ నాదం ఓం!
కనుల కొలనులో ప్రతిబిం బించిన విశ్వరూప విన్యాసం
ఎద కనుమలలో ప్రతిధ్వనించిన విరించి విపంచి గానం
సర సస్వర సుర ఝరీ గమనమౌ సామవేద సారమిది
నే పాడిన జీవన గీతం ఈ గీతం
విరించినై విరచించితిని ఈ కవనం
విపంచినై వినిపించితిని ఈ గీతం
ప్రాగ్దిశ వీణియపైన దినకర మయూఖ తంత్రులపైన
ప్రాగ్దిశ వీణియపైన దినకర మయూఖ తంత్రులపైన
జాగృత విహంగ తతులే వినీల గగనపు వేదికపైన
పలికిన కిల కిల స్వనముల స్వరజతి జగతికి శ్రీకారము కాగా
విశ్వ కావ్యమునకిది భాష్యముగా
విరించినై
జనించు ప్రతి శిశు గళమున పలికిన జీవన నాద తరంగం
చేతన పొందిన స్పందన ధ్వనించు హృదయ మృదంగ ధ్వానం
అనాది రాగం ఆది తాళమున అనంత జీవన వాహినిగా
సాగిన సృష్టి విలాసమునే
విరించినై
నా వుచ్చ్వాసం కవనం నా నిశ్వాసం గానం ||2||
సర సస్వర సుర ఝరీ గమనమౌ సామవేద సారమిది
నే పాడిన జీవన గీతం ఈ గీతం
Meaning for each charanam in Telugu :
బ్రహ్మ యొక్క ఆలోచనలలో ఎప్పుడో పుట్టిన స్రుష్టి మూల వేదం - " ఓం "
మన ప్రాణ నాడులకు మొట్టమొదట ప్రాణం ఇచ్హినదే ఈ " ఓం "
కళ్ళ కొలనులో ప్రతిభింబించిన స్రుష్టి రూపం ఈ "ఓం "
గుండే వంటి పర్వత శ్రేణులలో ప్రతిధ్వనించిన బ్రహ్మ యొక్క వీణా గానం
సరస సంగీతమైనటువంటిది,
మంచి నదీ ప్రవాహము వంటిది,
మొత్తం సామవేదం సారంశము అయినటువంటిది
ఈ నేను పాడిన పాట
నెనే బ్రహ్మనై రాసినది ఈ పాట/పద్యం/కవిత
వీణనై వినిపిస్తున్నా ఈ పాట
తూర్పు (దిక్కు) అనే వీణపై, సూర్య కిరణాలు అనే తీగెలను మీటుతూ
మెల్కొన్న పక్షులు అకాశపు వేదికపై, పలికిన కిల కిల రావాలు
స్వర ప్రపంచానికి మొదలు ఇంకా విశ్వం అనే దానికి వివరణ.
పుట్టే ప్రతి శిశివు పలికే జీవన రాగపు అలలే ఈ ఓం
చైతన్యం పొందిన హ్రుదయం మౄదంగం వలే ద్వనిస్తే ఆ శబ్దం ఓం
ఎప్పటి రాగమో మొట్టమొదటి తాళమై
అనంతమయిన జీవన నదిలా సాగిన ఈ సృష్టి విలాశమే - ఓం
నా ఉచ్చ్వాసం- కవిత్వం
నా నిశ్వాసం - పాట
Meaning in English:
From the thoughts of Sri Brahma (The creator - GOD) the origin of vedas was born which was Oam / Aum
The first anthem which enables our senses is Aum
The representation of god (Viswaroopa) reflected in the ponds of eye
The reverberation of the gods songs around the mountains of Heart.
The essence of samaveda is the song Im singing for you.
Becoming brahma Im writing this song,
I made you listen to this song becoming veena
East being the veena and rays of son being the strings of it
becoming the sounds of woken up birds on the stage of blue skies..
the rhythm of cute birds sounds has become the initiator of the universe.
this makes the meaning of universal song which is the meaning of its acts.
The waves of living sounds that will speak out of every infant that is born..
The sounds of a heart that are like Mrudanga's sounds when the heart is responding to an emotion (chetana)
By making those earliest tunes on the adi tala as the eternal life saga..
That ever going natural process ..
My Inhalation is the poem..
My Exhalation is the song..

SAROJA : Thanks for ur comment. my roomie was asking the meaning for the word "Vipanchi" the other day. I answered him, but my mind started knowing the meanings for all other words in the song, but failed for 3 words 1,విరించినై ; 2.ప్రాగ్దిశ 3. కవనం ...then started R&D...
And i saw the movie in my child hood. could not recollect all the scenes. next time I will see.
-Krishna
Hi Krishna,
Thanks for the translation. Good job.
I guess ..
విపంచినై వినిపించితిని ఈ గీతం
In the above line " Vipanchi" means "pakshi".
@Pavan : I strongly believe the meaning of "విపంచి" would be "వీణా" in this context. As he is letting the others know the essence as like a sound coming from veena.
Thanks for this great work. Nijamga chala telugu padaalaki artham telusukunnanu. Meeru chesina ee pani abhinandinchadaggadi. Telugu bhasha patla meeku unna gouravaniki chala aanandistunnanu.

Thank u very much sir for ur great job.
Ur great sir tp
This is a song from the telugu movie Sirivennela, written by Seetharama Sastry. Although he has written previously, this was his first attempt in writing lyrics for movies. The song created a record (not equaled yet) by earning for him, in his first try itself, the prestigious Nandi award given by the state government for the best song. His name till then was Chembolu Seetharama Sastry. After this movie and the great songs he wrote for the movie, his name has become the movie’s name – Sirivennela (S) and catapulted him to the front rank of lyricists. Although he has written many great songs since, in many minds his name and fame are inextricably linked with this song.
For this song, S has chosen an abstract and deep subject like the mystery behind creation and the continuity of life through the ages. Is the universe or creation an outcome of a fortuitous combination of random events? Or, does the existence of creation imply the existence of a creator also? Can the former come into being without the latter? Who created the universe? Where did it exist before? Where will it disappear in the end? What or who sustains it in between? Is there an unknown, invisible hand behind the creation? Is there a masterplan behind it? Is there a Master? What is the force that propels life? Such profound questions are the subject of some Upanishads and are beautifully summarized by the great telugu poet Potana in his classic poem in his great work Bhagavatam (ఎవ్వనిచే జనించు జగమెవ్వని లోపలనుండు; evvanicE janincu jagamevvani lOpala nunDu). These issues continue to fascinate us even today in the form of creation v evolution debate.
S has chosen to focus on this abstract and complex subject in a song of about three minutes. This is not an easy task. So he paints with a very broad brush. All the details may not be there but the main thrust is clear. The lyrics are not very detailed in every aspect and the reader or the listener has to imaginatively fill the gaps. There is a lot of imagery as well in the lyrics. It is somewhat like appreciating an abstract painting. Each viewer gets a slightly different impression, depending on his own background and perspective. From the core ideas in the song, one can expand and extrapolate in many directions and bring in as much other relevant material as one’s imagination will allow and is capable of. In fact, this may be one of the secrets of the phenomenal popularity and success of the song, viz. its ability to fire our imagination and make us think.
The song is about the continuity of life, the creation, and the cosmic order we see in them, as per the Creator’s design. We may note how, either by design or by pure accident, four of the five basic elements of creation have subtly found their way into the song. The five elements of creation are the Earth, the Fire, the Sky, the Water, and the Air. Let us see where they show up in the lyrics: Fire (dinakara, the Sun which essentially is a fireball); Sky (vineela gaganapu); Water (kanula kolanulO, surajhari, anantavaahini), Air (ucChvaasaM, niSvaasaM).
All in all, a very profound song which will endure as a masterpiece.
Thank you sir 🤝💐

Will your Era be repeated sir.. What a great poetry.. Meeku Paadabhivandanaalu
పంచ భూతాలను -- భూమి, అగ్ని, నీరు, ఆకాశము , కిరణాలు - వెలుతురు, వీటిని ఉటంకిస్తూ వ్రాసిన గేయ రచయిత సీతారామ శాస్త్రి గారి పాటను పాడుతున్నప్పుడు మన శరీరం లోని పంచేంద్రియాలూ,
స్పందించినట్లవుతుంది. శరీరంలోని రక్త ప్రసరణ లో అలలు ఏర్పడినట్లు, ప్రవహించి సామవేదం సారాన్ని, ఓంకార నాదం చేస్తూ ఒడ్డుకు శక్తితో కూడిన తరంగాల రూపంలో చేర్చినట్లనిపిస్తుంది........ వెన్నెల రాత్రి పూట మాత్రమే ఉండొచ్చు. కానీ ఈ హవనం కాల చక్రంతో పాటు, ఎప్పటికీ జీవనదీ ప్రవాహంలా అలలతో, అజరామరమై, వినీల గగనపు వేదికపై ప్రవహిస్తూనే ఉంటుంది. ... ప్రణో దేవీ సరస్వతి
