Hi, I would like to know the lyrics and if possible the meaning as well. I have searched this song in Google and I am unable to find it.
this is a very beautiful krithi of Sree Muttuswami Dikshitar! :)

Oh, thanks. Actually I have found the lyrics on http://guru-guha.blogspot.com/2008/06/d ... eshim.html
But thanks anyway. Could anyone provide me with the meaning, though?

by the way, there is a chitta swaram. it seems like a tillana at the end. :)

here is the chittaswaram for anyone who needs it:

thai , ya tha ki ta ni da pa ma dhi mi tha ka (pa , , , , , SA* ni da pa ma) ni SA* JHUM* , THA* RI* THA* DHIM* , GI* NA* thom pa ma
dhi mi tha ki ta ga ma pa ma pa da tha da NU* da ni SA* ni RI* SA* kunda** THA* DHIN* gi na thom (vishAlAkshim)

* single asterisk indicates singing in higher octave
** double asterisk indicates kunda = tha-ki-ta count » SA* ni da

Thanks in Advance!
