Tyagaraja Krithis on Ambal

[thathwamasi]

Hello All

Please could someone give me a list of krithis that Sri Tyagaraja has composed on Ambal (any Ambal (female diety) - like tulasamma, or pravrudha Srimathi). I am working on something for which I need this data.

Thank you so much

Regards
T

Just amazing Lakshman!
You are indeed a magician!
Who says T was just a Rama Bhakta...

[Lakshman]

cml: I did not do any magic. It was all done by Tyagaraja.

[cmlover]

Modesty personified is our Lakshman!

[Rsachi]

Great list, Lakshman-ji

(I do think the song O ramAramaNa is addressed to Vishnu=Rama.)

[Lakshman]

According to T.K.Govinda Rao's book the song is addressed to the spouse of sri Rama.

[cmlover]

Rsachi is correct.
The song is addressed to ramA(lakshmi) ramaNa(beloved) which is rAmA.
That is also clear from the word by word meaning provided by Vgovindan...

[Lakshman]

I have deleted the song from the list.

[Rajani]

"sAri veDalina" is about River Kaveri, It could also go into the list?

[Lakshman]

Thanks Rajani.

[HarishankarK]

Maa Janaki - Kamboji - i thought it was in praise of Sita Devi and so a Devi krithi.

[Lakshman]

Meaning by T.K Govinda Rao for mA jAnaki:
P: It is due to having clasped the hand of our Janaki in wedlock, you became great and famous
AP: O king of kings! let me tell you this. You owe your fame as the vanquisher of mighty Ravana to the great good fortune of having clasped the hand of Janaki
As you can see the song is addressed to Rama.

[HarishankarK]

Yes sir, you are right.
I formed my understanding from a discourse i had heard a long time ago.

[keerthi]

tulasIdalamulacE and Endu kaugilintura are not on goddesses.

[RaviSri]

kalashavArdhijAm and dinamE sudinamu are supposed to be not of Thyagaraja, as also maravairi ramaNi. One Sanskrit kriti on Sri Seetha has been left out and that is 'srI janaka tanayE' in the raga kalakaNTi.

Here is an award announced..

[RaviSri]

endu kaugaLinturA - shuddhadEsi
pakkala nilabaDi - kharaharapriyA

I wonder how these two songs are in praise of any Goddess. The shuddha dEshi song mentions that Rama has the beautiful Lakshmi in his heart. The karaharapriya song asks Seetha and Lakshmana as to how they serve Rama standing beside him. Do they do nAma sankIrtanA or do they do namaskArA or do they meditate in their hearts on Rama? Both songs are in praise of Rama. The shuddha dEshi song is a direct address to Rama whilst the karaharapriya song is an address to Seetha and Lakshmana.

[cmlover]

Thanks Ravisri
I had the same doubts on Pakkalnilabadi. It is addressed to Sita and Lakshmana about their service to Rama.
Though there are complimentary phrases addressed to Sita, it is not intended to be in praise of her!

Devi krtis by Tyagaraja..

[kmrasika]

There is a "sarasīruhanayanē sarasijāsanē...." in amṛtavarṣiṇi in praise of sarasvati which is attributed to him (some regard it apocryphul - vgvindan/Lakshman Sir, any input?).

[Lakshman]

Here is the song:
sarasIruha nayanE. rAgA: amrtavarSaNi. Adi tALA.

P: sarasIruha nayanE sarasijAsanE sharadindu nibha vadanE amba
A: parama krpAnidhi nIvE ani ninu niratamu nammiti brOvavE talli
C: svara rAga laya shruti marmambulu nAradAdi munulu upadEshincE
vara dAyaki amrtavarSaNi maravaku lalitE tyAgarAjanutE

[RaviSri]

The plagiarist has indeed put in a lot of hard work. Sitting for perhaps days together with about 100 kritis of Thyagaraja around him he has picked and chosen words/expressions from them to weave a dupe.

svara rAga laya shruti marmambulu nAradAdi munulu upadEshincE

Of course, Who said no, Mr. Thyagarajan? And when did you compose in Amritavarshini, pray? When it failed to rain in Tiruvaiyyaru?

Amritavarshini indeed!!!!

[cmlover]

sarasijAsanE = saraswati agreed!
But "amba" and "lalitE" don't gyve!

[anumk9]

Please share notation of sarasiruha nayane in Amrithavarshini ragam.. thanks in advance.
