need to identify thirugnanasambandar's pathigam

Post by ajaysimha »

hello rasikas,

need to identify thirugnanasambandar's pathigam

the starting words are yama ... yahi ... yazhiya sung in vasantha ragam

when heard for the first time it dosen't sound like tamizh rather sounds like some east asian language.

regards,
ajay simha

Tamil :-
யாமாமாநீ யாமாமா யாழீகாமா காணாகா
காணாகாமா காழீயா மாமாயாநீ மாமாயா.

Transliteration :-
yAmAmAnI yAmAmA yAzhIkAmA kANAkA
kANAkAmA kAzhIyA mAmAyAnI mAmAyA

Written in the style of Palindrome !
Apart from this one, Tirugnanasambandar has written 10 more songs in Palindrome style.
