Hi,

I am trying to get the lyrics of the song Lambodhara Lakumikara. Can any of you post the same for me? I would be really grateful.

Lji: Some corrrections:
p: lambOdara lakumikara
ambAsuta amara vinuta
c1: sindUra varNa
c2: siddha cAraNa gaNa sEvita siddhi vinAyaka tE namO namO - lambOdara
c3: sakala vidyAdi pUjita sarvOttama tE namO namO - lambOdara...

And like Tyagaraja's 'bAla kanakamaya' - it is traditionally not started from the pallavi (in this instance, it starts from C1:SrI gaNanAtha).
Ref: http://www.karnatik.com/c1806.shtml (and the way it is taught AFAIK).

do we know whether in purandaradAsa's time songs were sung like krithis of tyAgarAja - i.e. typically pallavi first etc? Is it possible that at that time, the main refrain of the song came in the middle (like many western songs today)?
