Place to go if you want to ask someone identify raga, tala, composer etc or ask for sāhitya (lyrics) or notations or translations.

This Shyama Shastri kriti's lyrics...can anyone please help?


Devi Sri Kamakshi Tarunaninamma
Tripura sundari thanayuni brochutaku
Devi...

Adi parashree kalasa rupini
Anandi bhairavi adiparasakti

And I forgot the rest perhaps there is a charanam

Anybody can help me fill the gaps?? I know Shyama Shastri's other famous songs on Kamakshi but this one is not as popular but I hope someone knows this song

Is this really SyAmA SAstri's composition? Never heard of this one And the limited lyrics you have provide dont sound like his at all.

I ran a string search for the words tanayuni, tripurasundari, brocutaku etc. with the Shyama Shastri texts.
I could not find any song that used the phrases mentioned by Keertana.

The last line after the swaras has his signature 'Shyama krishna sodari'..I may have some mistakes in the lyrics but its his composition.

I also ran a search in google but could not find anything aside from the more popular ones.

keertana -

the mudra itself can be misleading. For instance, KV Srinivasa Iyengar's composition "natajana paripalini" in Simhendramadhyamam has the mudra "Tyagaraja" but is not the saint's composition. For some other misattributions, please check :

I have the lyrics and meaning here...done by copying from my recording and doing a sanskrit meaning search in the web. If anyone knows the name of raga and composer, will be nice.

Arohanam: S R(2) G(1) M P D(2) N(2) S
Avarohanam: S N(1) D(1) P M G(1) R(2) S


Pallavi:

Devi Sri Kamakshi | Goddess with eyes of love
Tharunamidama || Youthful (this) mother

Tripurasundari |
Thanayuni brochudaku || Protect your son

Devi..

Anupallavi:

Avir bhava sri | Ecstatic emotion
Kalasha rupini || One who holds the pot

Anandi bhairavi | Goddess of bliss and forms
Adi parasakti || Beginning of supreme power

Bhairavi in Sanskrit means Goddess Durga, who manifests in various forms depicting various moods. The word "Bhairavi" derives from one of the eight forms of the Devi, born in the burial grounds

Charanam:

Mani mantra harini | Jewel mantra, consort of Hari (Lord Vishnu)
Mangala rupini || Goddess of Auspiciousness

Madhukara bhashini | One who speaks sweetly
Marakatangi || One who is dark in color

Green Aventurine/Emerald (MARAKATA). This is the first of its kind in the World. The colour of this stone relates to the colour of Mother Goddess. Kalidasa referred to Mother Goddess as “Marakata Syamaâ€

R2 and G1 are the same notes. Is it the way the Arohana is?

lakshman in some books, the vivadi swaras arent included in the numbering scheme and so you have R1, R2, G1 (sadharana), G2 (antara), D1, D2, N1 (kaisiki) N2 (kakali)
