I've heard this twice recently. Sanjay sang this in detail ( 30min or so) at NMKRV College Bangalore in Feb. There is one in Sangeethapriya , of VR Dileepkumar, where this is the main krithi of the concert.

Unfortunately the corpus of extant compositions is very limited and the artists tend to restrict themselves to rendering the kRti alone. Should the revival in such cases be restricted to kRti renditions?

Take mangaLa kaishikI for instance. For all the compositions that are supposed to have existed in it, at present we are left with a single kriti (shrI bhArgavi) and just three or four versions - those of Mrs. Shantha Subramaniam (from Veena Varadaiyya's lineage) featuring chyuta-panchama/ prati madhyama prominently, Sri S. Rajam, Sri VV Srivatsa, and the version resurrected from SSP by Sri TM Krishna.

How can we imagine this rAga with such a limited sample to draw from?
I am curious. How does a mAyAmAlavagowlai janyam feature a parti Madhyamam - whatever lineage it might be?

SSP calls for chuyta-panchama for some of the janyas of mayamalava gowla.
