Eduppu for Etula Brotuvo Teliya and Sugunamule

[HarishankarK]

Namastey all,

Please tell me what is the eduppu for Misra Chapu tala song Etula Brotuvo Teliya and Rupaka Tala song Sugunamule of Sri Tyagaraja.

I read the lyrics and meaning of these two songs and observed how the philosophical meaning of both the songs are very similar - admission, repentance etc., Looks like Tyagarajar employed this ragam to evoke the bhava of virakthi. Wonder if this is a pattern with the composer for selecting certain ragas for certain moods? For instance why did he choose to compose both songs of repentance attitude in this ragam - why did not he not compose the second song in this ragam as a happy or optimistic song??

Etula brothuvo starts after 4 counts from samam in M Chapu.

|; ; Etu |la ; bro ; || thu, vo,|the li| ya;

Sugunamule starts 2 counts after sama in Rupakam

|; Sugu,namu,le |; che pu ko n,ti |

Does that answer your question?

Regards

A rendition that adjusts that a bit will sound vervy.

|; ; E, | tu la ; bro , || , thu, vo |, the li | ya,

with thu vo and te li ya occupying 6 of 7 or 12 of 14 matRas evenly split as 3 , 3 ( or 6, 6). You also get kArvai at bro, , to go over the samam - without the feel of a forced odukkam - sort of smooth over it.

Gives percussionists to do their 3(s) and possibly a caturAsra tisra mEl kalam embellishment when the song concludes

Don't know if this is an approved sangati variation - but not singing this is not a full justice to tyAgaraja and his vision
