Someone correct me on the true pronunciation of this raga's name. I assume Arudra as in Arudra darshanam.
EDIT : Ok, it turns out it was ArdradEshi
The rAga is one of those endangered ones belonging to the mAyAmALavagauLA mEla. It is sampUrna on the ascent and is missing the N3 in the descent.
Aa :S R1 G3 M1 P D1 N3 S
Av : S D1 P M1 G3 R1 S
As far as I can see, this is a raga in which only Dikshitar has composed in - and he composed only one kriti in it - shrI gaNEshAtparam citta nahi rE. If there are any others, please share the news here. Oh yeah, this is the same song that Jesudas sang in veenavAdini, which tells you about the "retune-itis" syndrome in the post trinity period.
Rare, but a recording of this kriti in it's original raga does exist, sung by G Ravikiran (from his own Youtube) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_1847G9N_U
