Wanted lyrics for tirisilagiri

[pattu]

This song is by an unknown composer. At least not known to me. It is a Tamil song. It is in praise of Lord Matrubuteswara in Tiruchi. Can anyone give me the lyrics of this song? I have not found it in any book. I heard it from someone some years ago in Chennai. I think the raga is Sankarabharanam. The song begins 'tirisilagiri darisanam oru naal' and mentions Srirangam in the end. Thanks in advance.

I think this song is a composition of Matrubhutam Iyer. It is ‘tirishilagiriyAr’. I learnt it from T.Muktha and will give the lyrics as I have learnt it. Sanjay Subramanian sang this song many years ago at his house and I remember his words were the same as I had learnt it. The raga is chenchuruTTi not sankarAbharaNam. The song is in praise of Lord Matrubhuteswara at Rock Fort, Trichy. The same Matrubhuteswara that Muthuswami Dikshitar wrote of: (srI mAtrubhUtam). See if there is a recording of Sanjay available.

[The Goddess is known as Sugandhikuntalamba and in Tamil, maTTuvArkuzhali, which is mentioned in the second charanam. The last charaNam exhorts the nAyika to climb up the hill, look on all sides to have darshan of nAvazhi nAdhar (Lord Jambukeswara), akilAmbAL (Goddess Akhilandeswari) and Srirangam, The pallavi and all the charanams have the same music].
