Can somebody please provide me with the meaning for this song? Also I heard that this song has a chittai swaram but the ones I heard on the net do not have them. Thanks in advance :)

Thank you Pratyaksham Bala and classicallover :) Can anyone provide the audio with chitta swaram ? The ones I have listened to and the one in the blog do not have the chitta swaram...

keeths,

The chittaswaram is not original . It was obviously added much later ( as told by DK Pattammal long back ). So it is not very essential or binding to sing that.
