Lakshman, Shilpa may be referring to "samiyai azhaittu vaadi sakhiye endan" on Lord Sundareshwara. I'm not sure if it is by Ponniah Pillai, the Thanjai Nalvar, or Ponniah. or It follows the same tune as "sami ni rammanave," I believe.

Lji: Where are these lyrics from? They don't seem right - especially the muktAyi svara sAhityam, the 3rd, and 4th ciTTasvara sAhityam do not make sense.

Arasi has translated sAmiyai azhaittu vADi (khamAs) for krishnaa....

Umesh, yes you are right - I am referring to the khamas varnam - saami azhaithuvaadi sakhi, yendan...and i do beleive it is in praise of Lord Sundereshwara.

I was mistaken - it was another khamAs varNam - http://rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4887/meaning-o ... om-varnam/

Arasi - where can I see the translation rshankar is speaking of?

rshankar:
The text is from the book The Dance Compositions of the Tanjore Quartette.
I can send you the scanned page if you like.
