Ulagam ariyaadha pudhumai Indha ulagam ariyadha pudhumai
En udal porul aaviyai Kadunnukkae virppadhu
Ulagam ariyaadha pudhumai En udal porul aaviyai
Kadunnukkae virppadhu Ulagam ariyaadha pudhumai
Indha ulagam ariyadha pudhumai
Alai kadal maevum Thurumbadhai polae
Yaanai vaayin karumbadhai polae
Alai kadal maevum Thurumbadhai polae
Yaanai vaayin karumbadhai polae Nilaiyum izhandhenae
Vinaiyum adhanaalae Ulagam ariyaadha pudhumai
Indha ulagam ariyadha pudhumai
Kelumaiyaa vilai kelum aiyaa Vaazha pirandhoor nilai paarum aiyaa
Kelumaiyaa vilai kelum aiyaa Vaazha pirandhoor nilai paarum aiyaa
Than maanam ennalum San maanam endrae
Pen maanam kakkavae piranthaval andro
Than maanam ennalum San maanam endrae
Pen maanam kakkavae piranthaval andro Arasanum aandiyum vidhiyin munnalae
Amaidhiyai izhappaar oozh vinaiyinaalae Arasanum aandiyum vidhiyin munnalae
Amaidhiyai izhappaar oozh vinaiyinaalae Andha anubavam vaazhvil nernthathinaalae
Ulagam ariyaadha pudhumai Indha ulagam ariyadha pudhumai
En udal porul aaviyai Kadunnukkae virppadhu
Ulagam ariyaadha pudhumai Indha ulagam ariyadha pudhumai
Kelumaiyaa… vilai kelum aiyaa Vilai kelum aiyaa
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song, 'Ulagam Ariyatha Puthumai', from the 1968 film 'Harichandra', captures the profound anguish and sacrifice of King Harichandra. Faced with an impossible debt and a vow to uphold truth, he is forced to sell himself, his wife, and his son into servitude. The lyrics poignantly describe this act as a "wonder unknown to the world" – an unprecedented sacrifice of one's entire being for the sake of dharma.
The song delves into themes of destiny, the transient nature of power, and the ultimate surrender to fate. Harichandra laments his lost status, comparing himself to a helpless straw in the ocean or sugarcane in an elephant's mouth, signifying his utter powerlessness against the forces of karma. He questions the value of life and honor when even kings and paupers are subject to the same inescapable destiny, highlighting the universal struggle against preordained suffering. The repeated plea to "ask for the price" underscores his tragic predicament, as he offers himself for sale, a king reduced to a commodity.
