There is only mahiSAsura - tAna varNa in bEgaDa. Are you sure the 1st song is by Vina Seshanna?

Just checked in the forum today and saw your post. To respond to your question, I think the varNa does have the word "Sesha" in the lyrics.

I have the notation for the Anandabhairavi kriti. There are two tillAnAs in behAg, one starting with dhIm dhIm tadhirana and the other nAdiri dhiritom. Which one would you like?
In the meantime please post the lyrics of saccidAnanda-bEgaDa varNa if you have. Thanks.

Lakshman ji if possible could you give the list of jathiswarams and thillanas composed by veena sheshanna (my guru keeps telling me most of veena sheshannas compositions {jathiswaras and thillanas } are so apt for playing on veena) i.e it's designed for veena itself

Thanks lakshman ji for the list.

My guru has a collection of kharaharapriya , k. Kapi, janjuti nillambari and has taught me ones in Kk and neelambari.

The kharaharapriya jathiswara is a complete one (I mean to understand kk ragam)
The kk ragam phrases are so well embedded in it.
It has 4 pallavis and 5 charanams
Charanam begin with ri , ga , ma , pa , da sequentially.
(Which can be seen in Bhairavi swarajathi of shamya shastri Val)
