Dear Rasikas,
Does anybody have the notations and sahityam of a ragamalika krithi - Mohana Roopini. I think it is a composition of Muthuswamy Dikshidar.

I heard someone sing this yesterday at a Navaratri in-house kutcheri in Kuwait and i instantly fell in love with this song.

Also, if there is any link to listen to this song online, please share the same with me.

You can mail me at vidsrox@yahoo.com.

Thanks and regards,
Vidya

Can you provide additional words of the pallavi line?
I do have a song starting with mOhana rUpiNi but it is in the rAgA mOhana.

Hello Laxman Sir,
The Pallavi sahityam goes as follows:
Ragam Mohanam: Mohana Roopini Manjula Bhashini Muktambikejaya Mookambike
Ragam Shanmukhapriya: Ganesa Jananee Gauri Parvathi.....

I dont know if there is a Anupallavi, or there are 4 - 5 Charanams. However they are in the following Ragams:
Bhairavi
Kalyani
Ranjani
Bageshree

Please try to help with this one. I would really appreciate if you or any Rasika has heard this Dikshidar Krithi and has a link to it that can be shared with me.

Thanks a ton.

Warm regards,
Vidya

Dear Laxman Sir,
If it is not Dikshidar Krithi, whose could it be? I would also like to know why you think it is not a Dikshidar Krithi?

Apart from the above, have you heard this Krithi anywhere? I am going to be getting in touch with the lady who rendered this composition during the in-house kutcheri this week. I will try to get the sahityam from her and will also check with her if it is ok with her to record this particular song in her voice. I am just hoping this could happen, so i could also share this beautiful composition with all rasikas.

Thanks and regards,
Vidya

All of the kritis that Muttusvami Dikshitar composed are already known and published. This song is not one of them. It could be some other Dikshitar.

Could it possibly be by Shri Udumalaipettai Shanmukasundharam...he has written similar songs in Ragamalika.

Hello,
Recently I googled 'Mohana Rupini' and found this post in Rasikas.org. Hopefully it is all completely resolved long back, being nearly a nine year quest. I would love to listen to the song "Mohana Rupini ..." that you have referred to. A friend taught me a short Bhajan "Mohana Rupini .. " about 2 years ago. I googled to find out if an audio recording by some other singer is available in the net. Couldn't find one. Please let me know if your quest took you to fruitful directions. Thank you.

Mohana roopini Devi mookambike
Jnanamayi chatur vedamayi
Jnanavilasini karunaroopini
Kamalasani varadayini
Veena pustaka maladharini
Vageeshwari amba saraswati

Sarasijanayane Sharada amba
Shanta swaroopini saraswati
Sharanagata varadayini
Samagana vinodini
Sarvalankrita bhooshini shobhini
Sangeetamrita varshini
