Yamuna Kalyani / Yaman Kalyani

[Unnykrish]

Dear All …. A small clarification needed. We saw names like Kalyani, Yamuna Kalyani and Yaman Kalyai …. What I understood is Kalyani is the Melakartha (Mechkalyani) .. with S R2 G3 M2 P D2 N3 S … S N3 D2 P M2 G3 R2 S as the aarohana and avarohana
Till this time, I thought that Yamuna Kalyani and Yaman Kalyani are the same. But I referred in a site as YAMUNA Kalyani - S R2 G3 P M2 P D2 S …. S D2 P M2 P G3 R2 S
YAMAN Kalyani - S R2 G3 M2 P D2 N3 S …. S N3 D2 P M2 G3 M1 G3 R2 S ...

Please advise me on this

The hindustani rAgA yamankalyAN has the following scale:
S R G M* P D N S* / S* N D P M* G M G R S
In karnatak music there are two scales given for yamunAkalyANi:

Type 1: S R G P M* P D S / S D P M* P G R S
Type 2: has the same scale as the hindustani rAgA.
The above info is from the book Raganidhi.

I hope i am using relevant thread here for my query. Since i am new to this site please excuse me or point to me right one if wrong. My query is: Could someone if know post the sahitya or lyrics for a Bhajan type of song i heard on Goddess Saraswathi or Devi that starts with "Vani Mani Mathe" set to Yamuna Kalyani ragam .it is in praise of Devi in general i think and has in between lines. "Jai jagadambe Jai jagadambe.." . i could get only partial lyric elsewhere so asking..thx
