What is the prominence of Royal luxury,
If the grace of the garuda vahana[Maha Vishnu]
is not present.[p]
What is the use of Royal attendents,
What is the use of Royal honour{a.p}
It is beauty out side but the embers of
hopelessness are simmering inside.
May there be equilibrium inside and out side,
Lord,The uplifter of Gods,The Sea of Bliss
in the hereafter{c}

[rshankar]

Smt. Savitri - beautiful...thank you for bringing this composition alive!!

[aaaaabbbbb]

Thank you rshankarji,
My pleasure.

[HariKrishna]

Excellent! Thank you. One question though - you have this as being in rAga gaurImanOhari. However, the CD cover lists this as being sung by M.S. in rAga kannada. Is the latter a mistake or did she in fact sing this in rAga kannada? I know language is Kannada.... maybe they misprinted the rAga information?

[aaaaabbbbb]

M.S amma has sung this in gaurimanohari.
The song is composed in kannada language.
