Bhimsen Joshi | Gauri | अतही प्रचन्ड | atahii prachanD | 1966

Описание: To mark Bhimsen Joshi's (February 4, 1922 - January 24, 2011) birth anniversary, a rare performance of a Gauri sung by his dada-guru Abdul Karim Khan, thirty years earlier:    • Rare: Abdul Karim Khan | Gauri | अतही प्रच...  

There is some folklore that I haven't yet been able to corroborate that he learnt this from Kesarbai Kerkar:    • Kesarbai Kerkar | 'Puriya Dhanashri' | अतह...  

अतही प्रच्छँदन* ब्रम्ह पहचानो
ध्रुव धरत राज इंद्र पुनर रे
दोरई दोरई अत्सीस गंगा
मोरा तो शंकर सोना सुन्दर रे

– From Magriel and Perron who translate it as follows:

"Know Brahma to be very mysterious indeed
after King Indra he is the one who provides stability
From his head he makes the Ganges flow
my very Shiva, auspicious and splendid."

The disc says "अतही प्रछुंडन" and I am still to look up what प्रच्छँदन might mean. प्रछडन sounds more like it. But will check and also be grateful for any corrections/gloss.

Another transcription of this I have seen is:

अतही प्रचंड ब्रह्म पछानो
दुवा धरत राज इंद पुननरे
दोरई दोरई अतसीसं गंगा
मोरा तो शंकर सोना सुंदररे
