Silapathikaram- Kannagi and bracelet, specific poem set to music for Bharatanatyam?

Post by tapasya »

Hello All,

This is probably answered elsewhere in the forum and if so please send me a link to it. Here goes.

I am looking for specific poems from Silapathikaram volume 2 (of 3) set to music for Bharatanatyam. The part I am looking for is where Kannagi finds out about Kovalan's death and she confronts the queen about the injustice and cuts off her breast and burns Madurai. I am looking to portray the grief and anger in a Bharatanatyam piece. I need the exact poems from the volumes and word to word meaning and if there are other dance pieces out there, it would be very helpful to get some direction on this please.

Thanks

Best Regards
Tapasya
