I would appreciate if someone could post the lyrics for the song Sri Ramachandra - Ragamalika - Adi - MV
I heard dear MDR sing it and I was captivated by it ever since. And what a heart wrenching Khamas Vasudevacharya includes. Although it shouldnt come as a surprise from the sculptor of the raga himself.
Thanks in Advance!
