Chitta swaram for Vallabha Nayakasya-Begada

Post by hariharan »

Please listen in the youtube the Thyagaraja Krithi "vallabha nayakasya" in the raga Begada, sung by Sri. Semmankudi Srinivasa Iyer. At the end of the last line of the song he sings a brief chitta swara ie after the line ' Kaali Kalamaalini Kamalaakshi Sannutasya' . Please post the chitta swara that he sings. The lyrics with chittaswara given in the youtube page is also given under and it needs some correction, I think so. Thanks

Ragam: Begada Rupaka Talam
Pallavi:
Vallabha Nayakasya Bhaktho Bhavami
Vanchitartha daayakasya Vara Mooshika Vahanasya
Anupallavi:
Pallava Pada Mrudu Tarasya Paashangushadi Tarasya
Mallika Jaadhi Champaka Haarasya Mani Maalasya
(in madhyamakalam):
Valli Vivaaha Kaaranasya Guru Guha Pooji Tasya
Kaali Kalamaalini Kamalaakshi Sannutasya

(Chitta swaram):
Dheem taki ta jam ga ma ri Ga taka dhina jam Dha pa dha
Ni Ni dha pa dha Ta thinginata Ni Ni dha pa dha tadhin ginatom

'jAji' is a flower and that line in the song describes the way
in which'vallabha nayaka'is decorated.
'mallika jAji campaka hArasya' means ::
'decorated with garlands of mallika jAji and campak flowers'

Dheem ta ki tajam gm r G taka dhina jam - ta ki ta

Are there others songs of MD where he had used such solkattu/jathi and swaras together? Whenever I listen to this song, this portion always attracts my extra attention, even in the midst of this great song in this fabulous raga. BTW, SSI's alapana in that youtube link is just awesome.
