I couldn’t help feel aural similarities listening to Shri Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar’s rendition of Kudarai Velluneir (Purvikalyani) and poka poonkavil ennu , kathakali padam from Nalacharitam first day ( Raga Sahana rendered in madhyama suvi, particular to kathakali?). I would be grateful any of the learned rasikas shed any light on this possible connection between the two ragas? Or these renderings? Or just an aural hallucination?
Just in case it is useful,
Poka poonkavilennu:

Re: Relationship if any between Sahana and Purvikalyani
The kUDArai vellum sIr in the spotify site by ARI - is mislabeled as pURvikalyANi. It is sahAnA only.
