varNam - vanajAksha - rItigauLa

[Enna_Solven]

TMK sings the opening word as vanajAkshi. Which is right? Rest of the varnam is exactly same, including annitiki carnam and all cittaiswarams.

varNam - vanajAksha - rItigauLa - khaNDa aTa - Veenai Kuppaiyer

vanajAkSA ninnE kOrina nA

[rshankar]

Both make sense....

[aaaaabbbbb]

but in the anupallavi the sahitya is ;
*manasijuni ganna cakkani
mA vEnugOpAlA E vELa*
Then *vanajAkSha* is more suiable.

[asraghu]

I checked with swara and sathiya I have.... the correct one is 'VanajAkSha'.
