Thanks.. Will check them out..
I found this online..
" Ardhanareeswara slokam and Charanadainde (Varnam)"

in one of Smt. Rajee Narayan's CD listing.. Do you know if this is a padavarnam on Ardhanareeshwarar as well ?

[Lakshman]

The shlOka is not in the book.

[rshankar]

Lji/Sangeetha - none of these padavarNams are ON ardhanARISvara - the first 2 use the term 'ardhanArISvara' as one of the epithets used to describe Siva.

Some corrections in the last one:
P: ...kanakasabhai tanil ADum ISA
A: ...pin ratikkarul [1] purindu...
C2: pEdai vanji tan AdhAramAi senra [2]
C3: meiyyuragavE undan pugazh tanai pADiya pulaiyanukku...[3]
C4: mAdhava sOdari taDAdagai [4] unai....

[1] While words beginning with 'r' have the letter 'i' written before (like irAman for rAman), the pronunciation usually does not include the 'i' sound
[2] Refers to the episode in madurai where he offered to help carry bags of mud for an old lady
[3] nandanAr caritam
[4] taDAdagai or taTAtakai - refers to Am kayal kaNNi (angayarkaNNi/mInAkshi) as the valorous warrior princess

[Lakshman]

Thanks rshankar.

[sangeetha]

Thanks....

These varnams sound interesting and unfamiliar.

Does anyone have a recording of these varnams?

[Gladfan]

There is also a Madurai Muralidharan padavarnam on Ardhanareeshwara, namely 'kAnbEnO' in rItigowlai rAga. However, it mainly refers to Shiva in his form as Ardhaneeshwarar. One of the lines is sung, "AN pAthiyum pEN pAthiyum..." Unfortunately, I do not have the lyrics.
