Incidentally, the first time I heard this raga was at the performance of Sri Lalgudi GJR Krishnan with Sri Anil Srinivasan on the piano at the Pada Varnam DVD release function of Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman held at the Music Academy last Friday.

Sri. Kishorepalle, The composition is very nice and value rich in meaning too. The rendition by Sreenidhi is superb and very melodious. Wish you all good luck in your every such attempts to entertain us with real music. Please explain the meaning of the lyric in the first line of the charanam ''Karathale Venum Kari madha bheeshta bhanjanam " (Karathale venum means holding the flute in the hands ) and what does it mean 'kari madha bheesta bhanjanam'' please explain.

Hariharan.

Dear Hariharan sir,

Thanks for taking time and listening to my compositions and your comments as well...

"Kari madha bheeshta bhanjanam"

Here the sahithyam can be interpreted in two ways for the sake of bhava, Kari as you know is an elephant and when Sri Krishna goes to Madhura to kill Kamsa, Kamsa orders his pattapu enugu, (Sorry I don't know what it is in English) to kill Balarama and Krishna. Krishna with bare hands, kills the rogue elephant (Maddha Bhanjanam).

And on the other hand, when Sri Krishna goes to Indralok, he decides to pluck sowgandhika pushpam from deva kolanu for Satya Bhama, Indra orders his Airaavath to block Sri Kirshna's access to the divine pond and when Airaavatham tries to stop Sri Krishna, he tames the raging beast with finger there by destroying its madham (arrogance) along with Indra's.

Hope that helped.

Thanks
Kishore Palle
