How did I miss listening to this shadratnaM! MDR sings with such feeling and his padacchedam is brilliant. The lyric is as great as the rendition itself. I wonder why more people have not handled this ragamalika. THANK YOU KULKARNI for fishing it out of your agaadha ratnaakara!

Vasudevachar has composed several rAgamAlikAs including three that are in praise of each of the trinity.

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 19 Jul 2005, 00:54

Can we have the other two as well? Thanks.

sree vasudevachar did use the mudra-vasudeva

I have to 'fess up that the first composition I heard of this great man (another of Rukmini Devi's collections of gems at Kalakshetra) was in the movie "Shankarabaranam": 'brOchEvArevaru rA' (and my dad pointed out his mudra in the composition 'Athuramuga karirAjuni brOchina vAsudhEvudavu nIvu kadhA?'). It was only much later that I heard MS render this (from a very old, small gramaphone disc with only one song on it - don't know what they were called, but am told that they were very popular once upon a time) at a friend's place, and I was able to understand Sri Vasudevachar's comment when he was asked about MS singing this song of his.

I;ve heard people mentioning this "comment of vasudevachar on MS"... what is that comment actually??????

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 29 Nov 2005, 23:19

The story, as I've heard is as follows:
Vasudevachar taught MSS his KamAs composition 'brOchEvArevaru rA'. Later, she presented it in a concert where MV was in the audience: MV was asked how he felt when he heard MSS sing his song/baby, and he is reported to have said: I feel like a proud and happy father who sends his daughter very simply attired to her in-laws, and she returns from there, gorgeously attired and bedeckked from head to toe in precious jewels.

as i was working on the tracks for Shyama Sastri thread , I came across a great track by MLV .Never heard this before.Wonder who is the Composer?

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 19 Mar 2006, 23:04

Coolkarni
The composer is annamAcArya. The mudre comes in the penultimate line- "vEnkaTESam vEdanilayam" which MLV does neraval on. MLV herslef is looking to her SiShye for the lyric which is why the lyrics are not clear. This kRti was mentioned in the old dESh thread by Lakshman(who else) in his list. Here is the link

I've also heard the kannaDagauLa version tuned by Dr. Rallapalli Ananthakrishna Sharma - does anyone know who provided the tuning in dES?

Ashwin: The song in dEs is available in T.S.Parthasarathy's book of Annamacharya songs. No idea who tuned them
