Perhaps this is the Vachana she sang? :
ಚಂದ್ರೋದಯಕ್ಕೆ ಅಂಬುಧಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚುವುದಯ್ಯಾ,
ಚಂದ್ರ ಕುಂದೆ, ಕುಂದುವುದಯ್ಯಾ.
ಚಂದ್ರಂಗೆ ರಾಹು ಅಡ್ಡ ಬಂದಲ್ಲಿ
ಅಂಬುಧಿ ಬೊಬ್ಬಿಟ್ಟಿತ್ತೆ ಅಯ್ಯಾ
ಅಂಬುಧಿಯ ಮುನಿ ಆಪೆÇೀಶನವ ಕೊಂಬಲ್ಲಿ
ಚಂದ್ರಮನಡ್ಡ ಬಂದನೆ, ಅಯ್ಯಾ ?
ಆರಿಗಾರೂ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಕೆಟ್ಟವಂಗೆ ಕೆಳೆಯಿಲ್ಲ,
ಜಗದ ನಂಟ ನೀನೆ, ಅಯ್ಯಾ,
ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವಯ್ಯಾ !

Gist:
Whilst the sea waxes when the moon rises, when the moon is eclipsed by Rahu, the sea does nothing. Similarly when the sea was swallowed by the rishi (Agastya), the moon did nothing. In this world, nobody is really dependable for help by anybody. The one who falls in his misdeeds can be lifted up only by the sole refuge/ally, Kudalasangama deva Shiva.

Exactly! She explained the words too before she sang the kriti.

Corrections to the artiste list -
The violin was by Smt H M Smitha and Ghatam by an artiste from Kerala (forgot the name).

Thank you. The violinist was H.M.Smitha. i thought she introduced Giridhar Udupa too. Or may be it was Udupi Sridhar?. I apologize for my sloppy note taking.
