Lakshman,
Which volume of Geetamala is Ambujam KrishnA's nara hariyAi vandAn in? I couldn't find it in the first four volumes that I have (did I overlook it?).
Anyway, I hadn't heard it in ages! I have a story to tell. It was one of those songs which came to her when I was around. As she would utter at those moments, she said: oru pATTu vandirukku, and hummed it softly to me--she would always hum. I remember her singing it in madhyamAvati (and I have hummed the line too all these years, without knowing the whole song). I had no idea the rAgam was changed (by her or the tunesmith). Another interesting thing is that the pallavi line went like this: nara hariyAi vandAn, uyar tiru nAraNan, arvaNai tuyil paripUaraNan! That's why I looked for the song! Please help.
I am sure Krishna would enlighten us with interesting details about sundara paripUraNan whom she sings about!

[bkishore]

Thanxs. This song was set to tune in simhendramadhyamam by aruna sairam in her ARUNAAMBHUJAM VOLUME 1.Its available with me.I required i will post to the mail id.

[rshankar]

Arasi is 'sundara paripUraNan' of Smt. AK different from 'pUraNan, tirumagaL maNavALan' of Sri PS'?

[Lakshman]

arasi: The song is not is any of the four volumes of AK's work. So is Om namO nArAyaNA in karNaranjani.
I wrote down the words by listening to a rendition by Madurai Sundar.

[arasi]

Ravi,
She has another composition on sundara pari pUraNan which would explain what I said. pArkkap pArkkat tigaTTumO? em kurunguDi maruviDum sundara pari pUraNanai in kEdAra gauLai (tiruk kurunguDi).

Lakshman,
Yes, how many of her songs are there, which aren't in print or are not being sung!

Thanks, Lakshman!

[ksrimech]

Thank you Lakshmanji and venkatakailasamji.

arasi - A tiruvAymozhi pAsuram comes to mind as I read the lyrics of this song.

enganEyO annamIrgAL ennai munivadunIr
nangaL kOla tirukkurunguDi nambiyai nAn kaNDa pin
sanginODum nEmiyODum tAmarai kangaLODum
senkanivAy onRinODum selginradhu en nenjamE.

Both the pAsuram and Smt Ambujam Krishna's song carry the same underlying principle, "perumAL is waiting to correct you with His beauty".
SrI M A vEnkaTakRSNan svAmi's Rendition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl79Wai11NI
SrI SrIrAma bhArati svAmi's rendition (aRaiyar format): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMgDUTnq910

[smala]

Krishna Sri SrirAma bhArati was divine - please point to other renditions by him.

btw, what is the significance of the cap he wears.

[ksrimech]

S-P, In aRaiyar format of singing (aRaiyar sEvai), the kOvil (SrIrangam) vidvAns dress themselves up with jewels for performing the pAsurams with abhinayam in front of tiruvaranganAthan. Generally, these vidvAns do not wear actually jewels instead they wear a crown, knows as aRaiyar kulla, made of cloth and silk. The size of the "kulla" is close to the size of tiruvEnkaTamuDaiyAn's kirITam. If you notice, they will also have the arm bands, made of cloth and silk, with the Conch and Discuss insignia. The long tradition of aRaiyars go back to the 9th Century during the life time of SrIman nAthamuni.Even svAmi rAmAnujar is said to have been a "fine" aRaiyar and could sing the pAsurams and dance (keep abhinayam) at the same time. For more details on aRaiyar sEvai: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araiyar_Sevai

There are not more than 2 recordings of SrIrAma bhArati svAmi's aRaiyar renditions online. He is no more but has left us with a big collection of his recordings. You are contact his wife at
