shubhab · Post by **shubhab** » 24 May 2009, 03:56

Is anybody aware of kannada lyrics based varnams for dance? If yes, can you please post the lyrics and the audio if possible or kindly direct me to the websites?

Check out T.K. Govinda Rao's Varnasagaram

He has kannada padavarnam-s and taanavarnam-s in it.

Thank you! Would you know if the song is in the kannada language or if the varanams are just transliterated into kannada script?

I looked though over 1100 varNAs but couldn't find any padavarNAs in kannaDa. There are some in hindi and malayalam though.

Lji - are you sure it is hindi and not marAThi - I have heard that the padavarNams of the nAyak rulers were in marAThi.

Yes I am. Here they are. Both are by dance guru Rajee Narayan.

In Tk Govinda Rao's book the kannada padavarna-s are --

Shri Rajarajeshwari in Kapi raagam and Mishrachapu taalam , composer mentioned is Muthiah BHagvatar , it is daru varnam

Surprisingly Mate Malayadhvaja of muthiah bhagvartar according to TKg has been called as kannada daru varnam

Bhalire Bhalire a purandaradasa composition converted to padavarnam by Tkg in Natta ragam and adi taalam

kannada taanavarnam-s in the same book are as follows

Vara Vedapurana shastrangagalige in Maanavati raagam , purandaradasa's composition converted to taanavaram by tkg

Ninne paaduve ninnane pogaluve -- in vaachaspati raagam same tkg purandardasa combo

Jaya Jaya hariyembuvude sudinavu -- Natta raagam same tkg purandardasa combo

The script for the kannada compositions has been kannada , and english and hindi as well with notation

In Muttiah Bhagavatar's published works, both mAtE malayadhvaja and shrI rAjarAjEshvari are designated as daru varNAs.

Are you surprised that is called a daru varnam or that it is called a kannada varnam..

If the former, it fits an older template of a daru as exemplified by Krishnaswamy ayya's surati piece in the SSP..

If the latter, the chitta-swaram has the lines kriShNa-rajendrara tAyE sadA porE which is unquestionably kannaDa

RShankarji:

Do you know any padAvarNams in marATHi ?

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 29 May 2009, 21:19

Poonam - I don't know any, but have heard that they do exist.

Parimal,

Do you know any?

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 29 May 2009, 22:10

I do have a book of compositions by the Tanjavur Marattha composers but I will have to look for it. They have composed several tAna varNas but not sure about padavarnAs/

poonmahe · Post by **poonmahe** » 29 May 2009, 22:59

When you get a chance , can you post?

Here is one of the padavarNAS by Tanjavur Marattha composers. There are 20 of them in the book.

Lji,

YAY! My source was right!

I wonder if we need a separate thread for marAThi padavarNams!

poonmahe · Post by **poonmahe** » 02 Jun 2009, 08:19

This is great stuff. What is the name of the book? Where can I buy it? I never knew Marathi once existed.

A separate thred will help locate it quickly.

Thank you Lji.

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 02 Jun 2009, 08:40

Poonam, can you translate these?

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 02 Jun 2009, 16:39

The book is called Sangeetham and Nirtya padam. Publisher: Sarasvati Mahal, Tanjavur, 1988.
I am not sure if it is still available at Tha Karnatic Music Book Centre, Royapettah, Chennai 6000 014.

Here is the script as it appears in the book.

May of the words are new to me and it is my mother tounge. I will make an attempt at writing the meaning. Perhaps some one else may be Parimal could help more, once I post it. I will try and do it by this weekend.

Thanks Lakshman, the script makes it easier.
