Adi Kondaranda (Mayamalavagaula)- Confusion on Charanam

[rcamatchee]

Hi All,

I listen to Adi Kondaranda ( coolgoose) and in the charanam the singers says something aorund these line :

Da ga navamani mAlaigaLADa >>> and the swaras

However the Charanam ( per Carnatic music website) reads:
Ashai navamaNi mAlaigaLADa mADu maravam paDam virittADa

I do not know the meaning , That's probably why I cannot figure it out .
Pls help and also if someone already have the kalpanaswaras
pls send them

Regards

Rama

[Lakshman]

It should be "Ara navamaNI mAlaigaL ADa ...."

[Lakshman]

Here is the complete text:

I listened to Unnikrishnan singing this song on coolgoose.com. He sings it as "AraNava maNImAlai...".

LakshmanJi
who composed this song?

[rcamatchee]

Dear Lakshman,

Thank you for the wordings.

I also need some clarification on the raag.

The alaankara is more in Mayamalavagaula and also the pallavi.( I might be wrong)

Can you clarify where it goes onto Mohana raaga. I consider it a drastic change in the notes as the latter takes in R2 and D3 and omits Ma ( instead of R1 and D2 in Mayamalavagaula).

Thank a lot for help

Regards

Rama

I did not mean to imply that Unnikrishnan or Sudha Raghunathan sing this song in mOhana. They sing it in mAyAmALavagauLa.
But mOhana is the rAgA given in the book from which I copied the text.

[vidz]

Should'nt it be ADum aravam paDam virittADa?
meaning "ADum aravam - The dancing snake "
paDam virittAda - dances spreading its hoods.

mAdu maravam does not seem to make any sense??

This is a composition of MuttuTANDavar

[Lakshman]

Thanks vidz. I checked the text in the book and your version is correct. Sorry for the typo.
