"dAhakArakam" also conveys the same meaning;

tAraka tEjOrUpavAyulingam- effulgent vAyulinga Tha helps one cross the ocean of samsAra.
Few Things :

-> in the line sri vaasam , the word is SHARVAM not sarvam . sharvam means shivam ( it is a synonym ) ( sharva means shiva )
-> The line maniganavarabhushanam is actually phanigana varabhushanam referring to mahadeva having adorned Phanigana - serpents
-> in the line murari ( mura is a demon , ari is enemy , thus the attribute to vishnu - mura-ari ) devottama - the word is poojithaarthi - one who is worshipped
->immediately there is a line ( it has been missed out ) ' pavithra pada yugmam ' - having holy feet ; one foot of shiva and the other of devi , this is from the yugala concept ( ardhanarishwara) (yugma means pair )
-> After purandaradi sannuta there are lines missing . :- Gambheera natya pravartaka - one who dances majestically with elan ; nagalingam the linga which adorns the naga( serpent) ; Maragatha mani shobhita lingam - referring to the maragatha lingam ( a rare and auspicious lingam of emerald )
-> taaraka tejo rupa vayu lingam - this line is also an attribute to Thiruvannamalai arunachaleshwara

Just wanted to notify that these things had been missed out from this divine composition . :)

@rshankar
Sir, you have referred to a song in Ataanaa ragam by NCV in post-12 of the first page of this thread.
You had given a rapidshare link also but the links from rapidshare are not working anymore.
Are you referring to 'yaaro vanthennai aasai kaatti maraintahaar' ?
If so, I have given the youtube link ( saregama- old gems) in musicians section

Does anyone have an audio recording of Wodeyar’s not so known compositions in well known ragas like Dhenuka? I found a few on sangeethapriya and YouTube, or Shymala Venkatesan’s album but vast majority still difficult to find. I’m looking for the Dhenuka composition at the moment

@satya_vrathan
Your request was heard(or seen) - AIR Ragam aired most of the episodes of the series, "Srividya Darshanam," featuring mahārājā śrī jayacāmarājēndra oḍeyār's compositions, earlier this year. It is available here.
@Lakshman @meena @Sreeni Rajarao @keerthi @Sachi_R @vs_manjunath @drshrikaanth

The notations for these compositions are available in the book entitled, "śrī vidyā gānavāridhi" (lyrics and notation in Kannada) published by HRH Sri Jaya Raja Chandra - edited by S. Krishnamurthy (grandson of maisūr vāsudevācārya), published by Prism Books.

An additional three compositions were released later by Sangeetha Vidwan Sri Sreekantham Nagendra Sastry in a commercial CD after he accidentally stumbled upon the notations in his family collection (IINM the additional piece in sarasāṅgi, bindumālini and one more that doesn't come to memory).

As for the thread, many thanks to Dr Shriikaanth Murthy, meena and other experts for their deep analysis of each composition, Cool Sir for industriously digging through his vast, painstakingly curated collection of audio documentation (and others) to provide renditions and illustrations, HRH Jaya Raja Chandra (and others)providing supporting documentation for discussions. All in all, we have a deeper awareness, understanding and appreciation for these gems.🙏

Only a handful of his krti notations are available in English. There is a book in print with notations for all his songs but it is in Kannada script.

Kannada book will be fine.
But it's not available for online purchase it seems 😭
Since Iam a Keralite ,I dont have any contacts at Bangalore to enquire regarding the availability of the book in any of the book stalls in Bangalore.🥺
This was a book which I really wished to have which could help me to do my Mphil thesis.
