Nakshatra Raga Mallika source

[SKA]

Hi all,

Does anybody know of a Nakshatra Raga Mallika kriti ? If so who is the composer and where is it available ?

Thank you

[Lakshman]

Any pallavi line words?

[Lakshman]

There is a nakshatra varNa in rAgamAlikA by N.C.Parthasarathi & Dwaraka Parthasarathi.

[venkatakailasam]

I am not sure whether this is what is referred to.

This is part of vedic Chants.

Hi Venkatakailasam,

I am told of a Nakshatra ragamallika exists like the melakartha raga mallika kriti of Mahavadiyanatha Iyer. where every nakshatra is assigned a raga and a charanam is sung in praise of the nakshatra devata. Some books also refer to this nakshatra ragamallika. but I have not been able to get to either the full composition or the source as to who has composed this.

The mantram link you have given is woderful although it is not what I am looking for.Thank you for sharing the Nakshatra mantrams.

Hi Lakshman,

This is not exactly what I am looking for, but yes like when we dive into the ocean to pick pearls we also get many beautiful corals and other precious gems. -

This Nakshatra varnam is nice - do you have a recording of it performed by anybody ?

I also had a doubt the number of ragas mentioned are 25 - is this referred to as Nakshatra varnam because there are so many ragas or is there a deeper meaning ?

Wow ! Thank you - this is stupendous ! - I will spend time by-hearting it. but regarding the Nakshatra Raga Mallika kriti - I heard it is a regular kriti like Dikshitar's Dashavatara Kriti where each avatar is praised and each has its assigned Raga composed by the vageyakara himself.
