"Ekadhantha vinAyakam BajAmI, anisham
mAnasa Isha priyakara chathuram guruguha vinutham, anisham"....
Heard Nityashree sing this song set to nAttai... who is the composer?
Goes on to have really wonderful phrases like
"mAthanga muKa chandhrabimba vadhanam
mahA thripura sundharI nandhanam"....

I did not know OVK composed in Sanskrit too... nice poetry this...

The point to me is he used 'guru guha' well before MD started to compose! I am looking for comments from CML and others on this.
Also, OVKs kamalambA navAvarNam are all in sanskrit, and so is his kALiNga narthana thillAnA...(used/abused by AS from the reviews of her concerts!)...and several more: swAgatham krishNA, srI vignarAjam BajEham etc...I am sure Lakshman will have the entire list of his sanskrit compositions!

In fact, OVK's songs in Sanskrit are pretty nice to hear - the Kamakshi Navavarana Krithis that he has composed are simple and good; easy to learn and render. Bombay Sisters have rendered it on Sangeetha label.

Talking of Sanskrit compositions, I believe even Swati Tirunal did full justice.

OVK is supposed to have used very high class Sanskrit: I have read that in his compositions on subrahmaNya swAmi, he refers to vaLLI as pulindha kanyA (where pulindha is supposed to also mean a 'hunter' and refers to vaLLI being nambirAjan's foster daughter)...he also refers to her as rOhishajA (being born of a deer - refering to the myth, that lakshmI, as a doe conceives vaLLI and delivers a human baby near nambirAjan's abode).

shankar

are there 'classes' in sanskrit?

Meena,
I should have realized the teacher would catch me out: I should have said 'high class'...meaning something that stupefies even 'experts'...!
