किं सः उन्मत्तः? Is he mad?
द्रष्टुं समर्थो न वा? Can he see or not?
(पद्भ्यां) चलितुं शक्तः ? Can he walk?
उत चलन् पतति ? If he walks will he fall?
जीवति उत मृतः ?  Is he alive or dead?
चिन्तयितुं समर्थः?  Is he capable of thought?
तं न गणयामो वयम् We will ignore him
तेन किमस्माकम्? What does he do for us? 

चित्रायसम् अभवत्  He became steel
महायस्कान्तक्षेत्रे In the great magnetic field
कालम् अतीत्य गच्छति सति He traveled time
मनुकुलस्य भविष्यार्थम् For the future of mankind

कस्यापि न इष्टः  Nobody wants him
भुवनं प्रेक्षते  He just stares at the world
प्रतीकारं चिन्तयन् Planning his vengeance
प्रतीकारं चिन्तयन् Planning his vengeance

अयं मुहूर्तः This is the time
भीतिं प्रसारयितुम् For him to spread fear
परलोकात् परवैरम् Vengeance from the other world
ये तेन मुक्तास्तान् हन्ति Kills the people once saved by him

कस्यापि न इष्टः Nobody wants him
प्रतिमुखीकुर्वन्ति तम् They just turn away from him
कोपि न उपकरोति Nobody helps him
अथ तस्य प्रतिक्रिया Now his revenge

बहुमलपादरक्षाः Boots of lead
भयेन पूरयति तेषां हृदयम् Fill their hearts full of dread
धावन्ति यथावेगम् They run as fast as they can
अयोनरः पुनर्जीवति Iron man lives again

Carnatic A Capella

A Sanskrit adaptation of "Hurt" (originally written by Trent Reznor & made famous by Johnny Cash' haunting rendition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1Pwfnh5pc)
Lyrics: @krishashok & KSKarun (twitter.com/kskarun)
This version is told from the viewpoint of Duryodhana (from Bhasa's 2nd century play Urubhanga)

Verse 1
माम् अद्य अहिंसयम् (I hurt myself today)
भावना परीक्षितुम्  (to test my feelings)
पीडाम् योजयाम्यहम् (I focus on the pain)
याम् अस्ति यथार्थम् (that is the only truth)
रंध्रं छिद्रयति सूची (the needle tears a hole)
परिचितदंशः (the very familiar sting)
यतेऽहम् हन्तुम् सर्वं (I try to destroy it all)
सर्वं स्मराम्यहम् (I remember everything)
 
Chorus
किमहम् अभवम् (What have I become?)
मधुरतम मित्र (My sweetest friend)
यान् सर्वान् जानामि (everyone I know)
अन्ते विगच्छन्ति (goes away, in the end)
त्वम् लभेथाः सर्वम् (You can have it all)
मम तृणसाम्राज्यम् (my empire of grass/dirt)
निराशा यच्छाम्यहम् (I bring tragedy)
त्वाम् व्यथयाम्यहम् (I hurt you)
 
Verse 2
कण्टक मौलिम् वहामि (I wear this crown of thorns)
आनृतकासने स्थितन् (upon my liar's chair)
हीनविचारपूर्णः (mind full of harmful thoughts)
प्रतिकर्तुम् न शक्यम् (That i cannot repair)
कालस्य कलङ्केषु (In the stains of time)
भावनाः लीयन्ते  (Feelings disappear)
अन्यः त्वमसि (You are someone else)
अहमत्रैवास्मि (I am still right here)

Picture: Duryodhana, as a character in the Bhasa play "Urubhanga", an alternative take on the Mahabharatha story where he realizes the futility of war and loses interest in empire.

Two Sides of Karma takes you on a journey through the bright and dark parts of life, that the ancient Indian concept of Karma subjects us to. The emotions conveyed through the songs explore both the good and the bad of the ever-prevailing Karma. Along with IndoSoul’s original creations, you will find interpretations of two Indian Classical compositions by Saint Thyagaraja. Sit back and soak up the IndoSoul sound, that takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions encompassing joy, love and even obsession.

In the 19th century, Devaraya Swamigal wrote the Kanda Sashti Kavasam and foresaw (by almost a century) the quintessential sound of one of the world's most famous motorbikes, the Royal Enfield Bullet

I recently started experimenting with my electric violin to create deep cello-like tones. Once I came up with a few interesting musical 'hooks', I started looking for a song to complement these, and landed on Vatapi Ganapathim, a popular Indian Classical song composed by Muthuswamy Dikshitar. I've added multiple violin and vocal layers to complete the arrangement. I'm so excited about this song, and think this kind of a homogenous arrangement with only violin and vocal tracks to back the main melody can become a theme in itself for more videos in this channel. Hope you like it!

I take the ridiculous and the sublime, add cellos, violins, guitars and random internet collaborators to make music of sorts
