lyrics for Tillai Ambalatanai (Sahana)

Post by satishsatish »

Could someone please post the lyrics for:
a) Tillai Ambalatanai (Sahana ragam), part of the Nandanar Charitram.
b) Amba Kamakshi (Yadukula Kambhoji), Syama Sastri.

(a) was rendered, amongst others, by Sanjay Subramaniam in the Charsur recording circa 2004.
(b is a swarajathi but different from the more popular/famous swarajathis in Bhairavi and Todi ragams. TM Krishna's rendition, part of The Divine Trinity 10-CD set, is what I have on hand.

I've searched long and hard for the lyrics for both, despaired at my failure to find them, and hope someone here would be able to help me.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you, Lakshman, for the prompt response.
The SCharsur recording of Sanjay's rendition of this song states it is in Sahana ragam. And listening to the song confirms it is Sahana (unless Surati and Sahana are so inter-related that to my naive and untrained ears both sound as Sahana). Could you please confirm if your sources confirm it is one or the other?

I shall request in a separate post for the Amba Kamakshi song.
Thank you!

The lyrics and the rAgA in my posting are from a particular book. Sanjay may have tuned it and rendered it in shahAnA.
