Lyric needed: AarupaDai veeDamarnda (ragamalika)

[Enna_Solven]

I have this sung by MLV and Gayathri Girish. Would appreciate lyrics along with ragams in the ragamalika. Who is the author? One CD says M.P. Sivan and the other says 'traditional.' Searched google/rasikas without luck.

thank you Lakshmanji and rshankar.

[rshankar]

You're welcome!

Beautiful... one of my arangetram pieces! MLV's rendition is divine. I think I was told way back when that it was Maharajapuram Santhanam's composition, but I now know that's false.

[Lakshman]

rshankar: I am on a short holiday. Thanks for the corrections.

[rshankar]

Lji - my pleasure...

FOOTNOTES
[1] ARupaDai – I think the suffix paDai refers to hordes of devotees at the six temple towns dedicated to muruga
[2] the meaning of the epithet guhA is supposed to represent the fact the murugA pervades the deep caverns of our consciousness (guha = cave)
[3] Aramudu – amudu is nectar/ambrosia…the prefix of ArA/Ar indicates that although exceedingly sweet, this nectar is not cloying and doesn’t induce satiety…one wants to keep consuming it – hence, vishNu’s name as ArAvamudan…
[4] AvinankuDi as I understand is at the foot of pazhani malai
[5] pATTi = avvaiyAr
[6] pazhamudirsOlai is a place, but it means a grove (sOlai) where fruits (pazham) have been shed (udir)
