To all you fabulous rasikas out there, I have a song ID request:

for the past 8 years, I have been looking for this one song I heard Unnikrishnan
sing on a tape once, it starts of like this:

"Aravindha Lochanani Karunai puli......anditha venilai vendiyum ve...etc etc"


It's a tamil krithi and I dont know tamil so the words I type in might and I think do not represent the correct pronounciation, BUT I'm very sure of the first 3 words : )

It is a beautiful song and I was wondering
if anyone else heard it and knows what the song is actually called,
who composed it and where I can find it if ever. It has eluded me for a long time, and everyone I've asked so far don't know of it.

I think it's a Simhendhramadhyamum or Shanmukha priya janyam ragam.

please let me know if you know of this song.

Thanks : )

Ravi, may I add: piRAvi?
and, after 'karuNai pozhi, an exclamation mark, so that annai maruvum does not tag along wth the first line.

arasi:
I think you wanted to say "piRavi"

Ravi:
I think it is just "vaNangum" (worship) only. The second N would not make sense.
