Thank you Sri.VK Raman. With great respect and regards for you and your deep knowledge in the subject, I have a small suggestion.

The song is set to Adi talam -8 Aksharas and not set to begin at
' samam' , as the first lyric " kandanin " fits well to the second count of the tala cycle. Hence if the word 'anda' is started at the first beat of the tala cycle while singing the second line, I think the song can be comfortably recited. Like that repeat it for other lines in Anupallavi and Charanams. Accordingly, the the lyrics are arranged as under . If my suggestion is wrong or needs correction such remarks are most welcome, as I am not an expert.

P: kandanin azhagil bhaktan mayakkam - anda
bhaktanin bhaktiyil kandan aDakkam
A: shentamizh mozhiyE kandan vEdam - anda
shentamizh pOTrum kandan pAdam
C1: kavinjnanin manadil kavi aDakkam - anda
kaviyin poruLil guhan aDakkam
vidhiyin piDiyil bhuvi aDakkam - anda
vidhiyE avan pAda nizhal aDakkam
C2: sattiya vAkkinil avan aDakkam -perum
shaktiyE avanadu uDal aDakkam
muktiyin muDivil AduginrAn-nalla
bhaktanin manadai nADuginrAn

I have the notation for this song if you are interested. I have to find it though.

Please guide whether the song starts 1/2 (half) Idam or 1 ' thalli ' in Adi Thalam . The word ' anda ' fits right at the first beat out of of the cycle of 8 beats.

I can send you the scanned page but here is the first line:

No thanks Mr. Lakshmanji, as I cannot follow notation, as I have not learnt CM . My interest in CM developed through "kelvi Gnanam" only.
Thanks.
