Lji,
Can you post the lyrics for this composition of HKMB? I checked the karnatic.com site, but the version there was different from another version I have heard. Do you know if Sri HKMB composed the cittaswarams sung, or were they added on later?

I think the anupallavi should be 'sAmaja varada sahajAtE' and not 'sAmaja varadE, sahajAtE'....

The text on Karnatik.com is incorrect.
The svarajati is part of his composition.

shrI mahAbalagiri nivAsini. rAgA: sArangamalhAr. Adi tALA.

P: shrI mahAbalagiri nivAsini shrtajana paripAlini
A: sAmaja varadA sahajAtE sOma vadanE sundara radanE
(jatisvara sAhitya)
pAda padma gajam ri sa nI sA ri ma tadhimita kiTa taritana nana
takun tarikumta ma rI sa kukatari pa dha pa dhImta tadhimi tajhaNu mA

C: shArada candra samavadanE ambA sAmaja gamanE sAdhu santrANE

Lji,
Thanks!

Ramakriya,
This site carries M. S. Sheela's rendition - it is slightly different in some places - she sings the pallavi as 'SrI mahAbala giri nivAsini Sritajana paripAlini ambA' and in the AP, she sings it as 'samaja varadE sahajAtE' (and I think it changes the meaning, plus I am not aware of purANic story where the dEvi rescues an elephant)....
And finally, she sings the jatiswara sAhitya after the caraNa....

sAmaja varada sahajAtE is correct IMO, since Chamundi is Hari's sister.

Also, with sAmajavaradE, sahajAtE would just hang around without a purpose!

Ramakriya,
You are welcome! My feelings about the AP exactly!
