Lyrics for Padams/Javalis

Satish · Post by **Satish** » 03 Dec 2008, 03:11

Let me confess at the outset that I'm far from wise or knowledgeable in matters related to Carnatic music. I however derive immense satisfaction and happiness in listening to it and over the past decade or so, have benefited greatly from the innumerable websites that offer lyrics (often with the English translation) to kritis that I find captivating, something that has helped me reach a level of understanding of the kriti that I value greatly.

Lately I have developed a fondness for the padams and javalis. I however am having difficulty finding websites that contain the lyrics (with or without translation) to padams and javalis. I hope there are some out there, and I further hope they compare well in content and quality to the various ones that exist for kritis. Could someone point me to them please?

Whose padams and jAvaLis are you interested in?

Satish · Post by **Satish** » 03 Dec 2008, 06:31

Kshetrayya, Ganam Krishnaiyer, Dharmapuri Subbarayar. I don't know others whose padams/javalis are renowned that I'm likely to hear soon...

Give us some specific pallavi lines and I will see what can be done.

Thank you, Lakshman, for your help.
The songs are: Yarukakilum, Nithriyil, Baiyadha, Samayamidhe, Smarasundhara.
I hope I have got their spellings right.
I'm not too familiar with the languages so if there's any translation along with the lyrics it will go a long way to helping me appreciate these songs.

Lakshman, Shankar: Thank you for your prompt response and help. That link to the Yarukakilum thread, with the translation and context elaborated, adds much depth to my appreciation of the song.
