Taththai Mozhiyaal oru penn - Kalyani padam

[HarishankarK]

Hi
Request lyrics for subject tamil composition of Vaideeswaran Koil Subbarama Aiyyar. Yesterday heard this song by Vidushi Subhashini Parthasarathy in Parivadini concert in youtube.
Interestingly this is a padam but a relatively fast padam. I think Subhashini Parthasarathy is one of the few artistes who sings full open throated style which is prescribed for carnatic music since childhood.
Any possibility of someone having records of the original Brinda-Muktha version. Am very eager to how the song might sound from them, i would like to mention that Subhashini sang the song very well in a perfect tempo and provided a very fresh dimension to Kalyani raga.

rshankar and I are fans of this unique song and we discussed this here http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic. ... 09#p260009 with Ravi providing a link to a wonderful dance interpretation of this song by Sudharani Raghupathy. Subhashini Parthasarathy's version is very good too. As you wrote, this song provides a fresh dimension to kalyani.

[HarishankarK]

Yes, thanks for the other link.
Yes the song is a bright star in the Kalyani firmament. There is a spirit of freedom and brightness to the song

[HarishankarK]

I should still like to have the lyrics to this song please.

Corrections based on the version used by Professor Sudharani Raghupathi. The entire caraNam seems different, and it is in the caraNam that Smt. Sudharani's skill is so evident.

rshankar: I don't remember where I got this song lyrics but I think there are more caraNas for this song.
Please listen to the audio of Vijayalakshmi Subramaniam here:
http://www.deezer.com/track/5174850
and the caraNa is totally different from what you have posted but has the subbarAman mudra.

I am not able to listen to tracks on deezer

[Lakshman]

I listened to it and also one by Sowmya and here are the complete lyrics as I heard them (includes the one from Sudharani's dance). Minor corrections may still be needed.

>I am not able to listen to tracks on deezer

I could not either.

I found them on Spottify and music india online.

On Music India Online, search for "tatthai mozhiyal" and "thatai Mozhi" to get versions of VS, Sowmya and Subhashini Parthasarathy.

There are small and large variations in all these three, so it is a bit confusing. Sowmya's version is clearer in some places since she breaks the compound words into meaningful chunks.

[HarishankarK]

Wow, thank you all.

[HarishankarK]

What is 'cittajanUl' word meaning? Is it a dance form?

[Pratyaksham Bala]

cittaja = manmatha / kAmadeva
nUl = book / art

cittajanUl = art of seduction

[rshankar]

cittaja = manmatha / kAmadeva

citta ja - one who was born (ja) out of the thought (citta) - the myth is that manmatha was born out a thought of vishNu's - same reason he is called manasija

cittajanUl = art of seduction

I thought it literally meant the kAmasUtra

[lekshmi04]

Can someone please share the meaning of this song?
