Lyrics for bharatnayam jathiswaram

[laya2]

Hi,

I am trying to find the lyrics for jathiswarams that we sing exclusively for dance.

Where do i find the lyrics? Is it available online? Can somebody help me.

[Lakshman]

Yo will find these in books that have compositions meant only for dance. One is The Tanjore Quartette which has jatisvarams, svarajatis, padavarNams and tillAnAs by the four brothers. Another is Madura Margam by Madurai N.Krishnan. A third one is a 4 volume set by Vinai Sesha Iyer. Rajee Narayan also has published a two volume set of dance songs.

Thanks Lakshman.

Any idea if it is available online also.

If available only in stores, which stores have these and would they ship it to the US. Kindly reply. I am planning to learn carnatic music related only to dance.
