[Sundar Krishnan]

Hello, [dt : 2nd May, 2010]

The foll song :
Parama Purusham Hrudaya Bhavayeham ... Murali Nada ... Devaki Vasudevadi Divya Punya ...
is a Sanskrit Keertanam, composed by Swati Tirunal, in Jhampa Talam

Could someone pl confirm if the Ragam for this song is "Lalita Panchamam ??"
I would also to have the Arohanam / Avarohanam (Ar / Av) of this Ragam, it's Parent Ragam, and the complete, exact Lyrics of this song. Thanks.

From Lakshmanji:

parama puruSam : lalitapancama. jhampa

P: parama puruSam hrdaya bhAvaya tam
A: muraLI nAda vivrta tarapara lalita pancamam
C1: dEvakI vasudEvAdi divya puNya nicayam amarAvana niratama jitamambudAkrtim
pAvana taraNi tanayOparanta viracita lIlam sEvakAbhISTa dAyakam sitadashana bhAsuram
2: kOpA vantitA hrdaya tApahara mati madhura-lApamavanI bhAra bhUpa mardanam
shrIpatimamala yOgi cintaya pAda yugaLam akhilAlApadud-dharaNa paramabja bhava vanditam
3: sama rajita dAnavam sakala lOkanatam akhila shamalahati sarasa caritamam akSayam
kamala daLa nibha nayana kalita karuNArasam kamalanAbham amita bhava gata shamana kAraNam


This is from karnatik.com. Sri Rama Varma mentioned that this ragam was created by Swathi Thirunal Maharaja; he also described/sang pancama vakra avarOhanam.

lalitapancamam

15 mAyamALava gowLa janya
Aa: S R1 G3 M1 D1 N3 S
Av: S N3 D1 M1 P M1 G3 R1 S

[keerthi]

Lalithapancamam wasn't created by Swathi tirunal. there is a geetam of venkatamakhi in this rAgam, and a krti 'BrihadiswarIm' attributed to Mutthuswamy dikSitar.

There are two versions extant of this rAga - as janyams of vakulAbharaNam and of MAlavagauLa. they differ only w.r.t the niSAdam.


I have heard renditions of paramapuruSam in both versions of the rAga; though the mAlavagaula version is much more prevalent.

keerthi, (and Shri Lakshman) [8th May, 2010]

Yr ans that Ragam Lalita Panchamam has 2 versions :
- one with N3 being the janya from 15 - mAyAmALava gowLA,
- and one with N2 being the janya from 14 - vakulAbharaNam

makes me wonder if similar is the case wrt "vanajAkSa ninnE kOri (varNam)" :
in Ragam mandAri (janya of 50 - nAmanArAyaNi),
OR in Ragam mandhAri (janya of 51 - kAmavardhini) ??
Pl refer to my query in : http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=13119
