This was my second time listening to Dr.Pantula Rama. On the eve of Navarathri,it was a late night concert and I have no idea how the time flew. Her Alapanas were very mellifluous and emotive. I especially enjoyed her Pantuvarali, Kaapi and Yamunakalyani. Sri.M.S.N Murthy and Sri.Tanjavur Murugaboopathi gave a superb support throughout.
The concert was indeed soul stirring.

Isnt Neekela in sarasAngi by Ramanathapuram Srinivasa Iyengar

There seems to be an Andhra-pAThAntaraM of this song, that ends in srInivAsa.. That is erroneous, and could have lead to a pUci ayyangar misconception.


It is definitely a composition of rAmaswAmi shivan, the brother of mahAvaidyanAthayyar.

[Lakshman]

Item#3 is by Mysore Vasudevachar. Here are the lyrics:

nIkEla dayarAdu rAmacandra. rAgA: kadanakutUhala. Adi tALA.

P: nIkEla dayaradu rAmacandra ninnE nammalEda bhaktavatsala
A: rakendu nibhAnana jAnakEsha sAkETa purAdhIsha sarvEsha

Dr.Pantula Rama announced that 'Neekela Dayaradu" is a composition of Mysore Vasudevacharya.

[CRama]

Neekela dayaradu -Another song is in the raga Sarasangi.Not sure about the composer. But not Vasudevacharya.

Patnam

[arasi]

Not sure. Lakshman can let us know. A toss up between Patnam and Ramaswamy Sivan??

[Lakshman]

nIkAla dayarAdu in sarasAngi is credited to Ramasami Shivan by P.Sambamurti in the book Kirtana Sagaram.
I have not seen any reference to Patnam in any books.

[hamirkalyani123]

Also patnam will have the mudra of "Venkateswara"..

[mankuthimma]

Supreme Court rules in favour of Ramasami Sivan 3-0.
patnams case withdrawn
