Sri Manjunath - if you search in the Wodeyar thread, you will find DRS' wonderful explanation for this composition (as an aside, I can't imagine this song sung by anyone other than Smt. MSS, preceded by the slOkam 'mukhE tE tAmbUlam...')

rshankar- Yes, Very True.

Majestic & Melodious rendering by Smt MSS. What a great composition by Wodeyar set in jhampe thaala( 2 kalai ) !
