Yes.It must be.I heard him sing this in the recently concluded BSU concert.
And the start of the slokam may be 'jAnaki rAmA'

[braindrain]

Thanks Mahavishnu and Ganesh .. It must be that..

I attended until the RTP. It was a fair concert. Until the harikAmbhOji, it was sincere, traditional music. Harikambhoji kriti wasn't rendered to my liking, but the neraval and swarams were good. kumudakriya was done OK, but the handling (even by Sri Varadu) didn't give any impression that it is an ancient rAgam, or that an MD krti was to follow. Swarams were sung to two different places in kumudakriya.

Shankarabharanam AlApanai had some good moments (can't help that with shankarAbharaNam really). While Sri Varadu's AlApanai was in general more traditional, but didn't really have the full punch of the rAgam. The pallavi lasted two Adi-2kaLai Avartanams. Began with +1/2. The bhajana's na carried some emphasis and fell 1/2 before the dhrutam of the first Avartanam. Another emphasis fell on the dhrutam of second Avartana, with either the dA of galadA or the shrI (don't remember which).

I love this pallavi line, popularised by SSI! It seems to be harikAmbOji week in Bangalore!

[Carnatakam]

Was a wonderful concert-memorable for the Kumudakriya. But, was certainly an overdose around Karikambhoji/Shankarabharanam scales-Kedaram,Neelambari.That's his forte anyway

[arasi]

The SlOkam perhaps was : jAnAti rAmah tava nAma ruchim
jAnAti gautama sati tava charaNa prabhAvam

Wonder what all Sanjay sang at his Gayana Samaja concert.
