This pallavi was popularised by Semmangudi and there is a famous concert of Semmangudi singing this pallavi accompanied by UKS . Abhishek sang this wonderfully in a Pallavi Durbar two years back when UKS accompanied him.

[CRama]

Looks like a solid concert.

Highlights were outstanding RTP and Kumudakriya. No neravals I like a different perspective of Charukesi....No mangalam sung at the end. Wonder why?

[rajeshnat]

abhishek kumudakriya is a 7 wonders of his world

Also pallavi talam was Misra Jhampai and switched to Adi for swarams. I may be incorrect here. Someone more knowledgeable pls explain.

[braindrain]

Pallavi wasn't the SSI popularised one, but what is attributed to Veena Seshanna. It was in Mishra Jhumpa ( later switched to chaturashra triputa, for swaras) with an ateetha eduppu.

pallavi line was 'chakkani sAmiki manci samayamu rA, nEDu'

Thanks Jayan, corrected the Pallavi.

I remembered the second word was sAmiki in the pallavi.
I was not able to get correct pallavi name after searching in google.

Looks like this Pallavi line was in Thodi as per this:

Since Jayan is shy I think, I take the liberty of posting his review (Sorry Jayan)

I would have traded the Charukesi for some neraval in Kumudakriya/DG/Atana
