Can you please provide the 1st line of this krithi. I have learnt a similar sounding ragamalika song. Just want to make sure it is the same.

i guess it's aval thaan anaithum kaakkumaval (sort of) ----- charanam is tillaiyil aval peyar sivakami etc.,,

I think this is the same song i have learnt. But this was almost 20 years back. I have not heard any Maestro / upcoming artist sing it. And thanks to you, i came to know who composed it. I am penning the lyrics from what i was taught year back. If you can check the wordings from what you know and send me an edited version, it would really be great.

Is there any link where i can listen to Smt. Gayatri Venkataraghavan sing this particular piece?

1. Anandabhairavi Ragam:

Aval Than Anaithaiyum Aatubavall

2. Mohanam Ragam:

Tillaiyil Aval Peyar Shivagami
Thirukadavoorinillai Abhirami
Nellayil Kaanthimathi Annai aval
Neelakadaloram Mohana Kanni Aval

3. Bhageshree Ragam:

Manamagallayi Irrupal Maduraiyile
Mararudaigal tharipaal Mayilayile
Kannavanai Vendiduvaal Kaanchiyile

Vamanin bhagam uraivaal Bhageshree

4. Bhoopalam Ragam:

Gnyaanapaal Tharuvai Kazhiyile Cheer Kazhiyile
Nambikkai Olli tharuvai vazhvinile nam vazhvinile
Mona pazham tharuvai kayilaiyile thiru kayilayile
Mutrum unnarndavarrkku mayilavale aadum mayilavale
Vazhvinil Bhoopalamai Oli veeshum Magarani
Devi Devi Devi Devi
