This post will be about Sri Ranganaatham.
I learn this song with a chittaswaram. Nice lively raagam. …
Talam: Aadhi
The composer of this song seems to be again in ambiguity. Some say it was composed by Muthuswamy Dikishitar…but there is a debate that says this was composed by one of his disciples after his demise. So as usual…i dont want to comment on it.
The Song goes as follows:
pallavi
shrI ranganaatham upaasmahe nithyam
sita-vallabham shri-shankara-guru-guha-vedyam
Samashti charanam
naaradhaadhi-nutha-shyaamala-gaathram
neeranjaari maarthaanda sunethram
dheerataram sharachaapa dharanam
dhevaraaja poojithaabja charanam
Chittaswaram

I am not sure if i have discussed samashti charanam before…anyway…no harm doing it again….
It is a charanam in a song where there is no anupallavi. It directly occurs after the pallavi.
I have not been finding the meanings of the songs lately. Not sure why they are not available anywhere. Will keep looking….and will post as soon as I get anything.
I strongly beleive that meaing is absolutely necessary for many reasons….to get the feel of the song…to sing the words right…
So I will keep looking….
