I post some details of this raga alongwith Audio support and lyrics for pleasure of listening by our Rasikas.

Rag Nasikabhushani is the 70th Melakartha raga. This is a vivadi mela raga and the pratimadhyama raga of 34th mela ' Vagadeeswari '. This raga is known as '' nAsamaNi '' by the Dikshitar school of music. The notes taken are S R3 G3 M2 P D2 N2 S. The notes Ri and Ni are rendered as dirgha swaras and are also the raga-chaya notes. This rag evokes Karuna-rasa. Two most popular kritis in this raga are
1. Maaravairi ramani - by sri. Thyagaraja
2. Sree rama saraswathy sevitaam - by sri. Dikshitar

The audio link is given below for the song 'srIrama saraswathy sEvitAm ' of sri. Dikshitar as also the lyrics of this song. Sri. Dikshitar had mentioned the name of this raga as ' nAsAmaNi ' in the song. The song is rendered by Trichur Sri. V. Ramachandran.
