I would like to know who the composer of this varnam in Bhairavi (Adi Talam) is - the lyrics for the pallavi are:
Ninukoriyunanuku unedupalamu kanti
Thanks!

Another case of disputed authorship, as is the case with the Navaragamalika varnam (Vallachi) and the Kambhoji Ata tala varnam (Sarasijanabha).

Though this varNa is attributed to Patnam in some books, it looks like a composition of Ponniah Pillai.
Patnam's mudra venkaTEsha / venkaTeshvara is absent in the varNa.

Thanks all. What I find intriguing is that this varnam only has 3 chittaswarams unlike others that typically have 4 (or 5).

KarnatikLover,

Does the adi tala varnam also only have 3 chittai swarams, or are you referring to the Ata tala varnam, which also only has 3 chittai swarams (viriboni) ?

Lakshman Sir is indeed referring to the very varNam you mentioned. It has only three eTTugada caraNAs.
