Lji,
The composer is Madurai Sri N. Krishnan (see the mudra) - Madurai Sri Srinivasan is another prolific composer...

rshankar:
My master list shows Madurai N.Krishnan as the author. The tillAnA is not in the published book of his. I don't remember where I got the lyrics for it.
Thanks for the correction.

It is in the third volume of smt.Vidya Shankars' book of Shyama Shastri Kritis. One of the few songs where there is no mudra I guess.

Thanks arasi for the corrections..

This is also Dikshitar's varadarAjam upAsmahE in sAranga

krishnaa · Post by **krishnaa** » 19 Sep 2007, 18:04

can i have the meaning of samini rammanave....... please

thanks
krishnaa

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 19 Sep 2007, 18:34

meaning for sAmi nI rammanavE:

tell, my lord to come, lotus eyed, just now

(tell) the one who gave birth to kama,
the one residing in great Kanchipura, shri varadaraja (to come)

the arrows of manmatha, I canâ€™t endure many times.
(tell) the meritoriuos shri varadaraja, the one who governs me with love

my heavy breasts thinking the lotus garlands as their equals
throb frequently; ask him, the one who would not
allow to have love with the gathering of bees, to take me

I am afraid even of the radiance of the beautiful moon.
thinking of my lord always, exhausted by the pangs of separation

groups of damsels, presently, with amorous actions always
hover around; the cruel swarm bees are buzzing
(see these) I grow tired;
with hot displeasure, I witness the
multitudes of parrots and armies of cuckoo birds
my lord is tantalizing me, at this time

(ask him) to be seated next to me; to be intimate to me,
making love to me. One with the body like the tender leaf!
honourable one! Listen, lotus eyed!
meritorious one! elephant gaited! heavy hipped!
who is your equal in this world?
(tell) the exhalted one (shri varadaraja) to come to me

from smt.Vidya Shankarâ€™s book

The Tyagaraja and Dikshitar songs may be available from some website. I don't know about the others.

Dr BMK has sung Varadaraja (in gangA tarangiNi) in a commercial release - IIRC. Smt Sowmya too.

-Ramakriya

vENDum varangaLai koDukkum varadarAjanai (2) kAnciyil vITrirukkum perumAnE dAsan krSNanai kAkka samayam

Oh Lord varadarAja, the one who bestows (koDukkum) requested (vENDum) boons (varangaLai), the lord (perumAnE) who resides (vITrirukkum) in kAncI (kAnciyil), it is time (samayam) to protect (kAkka) your ardent devotee/servant (dAsan), krishNan (the poet's mudra)....
