"Bruhi Mukundethi He Rasane"
This song has been tuned by Sri.Semmangudi in the raga Kurinji. Almost all the Bajan Sampradhaya books and music books have analysed this song under the head "Sadasivabrahmendra". Dr.Balamurali Krishna has sung this song in his Sadasivabrahmendra collections only. Sri.Malladi brothers have sung this song along with the Tarangini songs in their volume.2 of Krishna Leela Tarangini cds. The last line they have sung as "Achutha Krishna Hare Raamethi Hari Narayana Theertha Harethi. Where as in the books as well as in Karnatic.com, the last paragraph has been given as "akrUra priya cakradharEti hamsa niranjana kamsa harEti". Whether this song comes under Narayana Theerthar or Sada Siva Brahmendra. Kindly clarify in this regard.
Bruhi mukundethi

Re: Bruhi mukundethi
This song is definitely composed by Sadashiva Brahmendra. His mudra " hamsa " is seen in the last line. Also notice the praasa and other aspects of alankaara . Telugu singers ( of AP state ) always commit blunders in sahitya , even with respect to the Trinity's compositions. Hence no doubts.

The discussion was about the author of 'bruhi mukundethi' and not
about the 'blunders'!

Agree wholeheartedly, but a rather sweeping statement was made...and such things do tend to become the tail that wags the dog....mukta wrote:The discussion was about the author of 'bruhi mukundethi' and not about the 'blunders'!

Re: Bruhi mukundethi
Dear all !
It is because of the blunders ( tail ) that this discussion ( dog ) has come into picture. Please see the first post :
"Sri.Malladi brothers have sung this song along with the Tarangini songs in their volume.2 of Krishna Leela Tarangini cds. The last line they have sung as "Achutha Krishna Hare Raamethi Hari Narayana Theertha Harethi. Where as in the books as well as in Karnatic.com, the last paragraph has been given as "akrUra priya cakradharEti hamsa niranjana kamsa harEti". Whether this song comes under Narayana Theerthar or Sada Siva Brahmendra. Kindly clarify in this regard. "
Since they are not very really conversant with Telugu or Samskritam or other languages in their spoken form, musicians from TN & K really take the trouble to obtain the correct lyrics and also get aware of the correct pronunciation , so as not to offend the regional audiences and their sentiments. This helps them get approval from them too. This tendency is all the more so because Carnatic music has been preserved very close to its pristine glory by TN's musicians ( and not so much by others ). That is why musicians from TN are able to rule the roost everywhere. Very few from AP are well known for this - u can count - Sripada Pinakapani, Voleti Venkateswarlu, Nedunuri Krishnamurthy, Arundhati Sarkar, Srirangam Gopalaratnam and a handful of others.
AP's musicians feel they own Telugu language and so feel they have the right to distort the lyrics to their convenience. Since there are not many weighty contributors to music from AP, AP's musicians have scant respect for musicians from other states. The AP's musicians are unnecessarily fanatical in nature and their tendency is to have racist in-breeding. That is why, instead of teaching the compositions of the Trinity, they teach ( 99% ) Annamacharya's kirtanas, set to different ragas by their whims & fancies, in the Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University. Annamacharya was actually a spontaneous poet ( vaakkaara: ) at the most - he composed only poems in praise of the Lord and never knew any music. But greatness has been thrust on him as a geyakaara: also and he is now taken as a genuine " vaggeyakkara" who is truly Telugu - because the Telugus wanted a hero of their own ! This is "home grown and son-of-the-soil" syndrome , while the Trinity and others are dubbed as part of "Tamila sangitam" derogatively.
If this is not enough for you people, revert to me for more.
