Vijayaambike

March 24, 2009 - Posted by vidhya

Vijayaambike is a song that is composed in the Raagam Vijayanagari.

Vijayanagari raagam is derived from the 59th melakartha raagam called Dharmaavathi.
Aa: S R2 G2 M2 P D2 S
Av: S D2 P M2 G2 R2 S

Talam: Aadhi

This keerthanam was composed by Mutthaiah Baagavathar and is dedicated to goddess Chamundeshwari. This song is supposed to be in Kannada language (I thought it was sanskrit)…

I also read that the Vijanagari raagam was a finding Mutthaiah Baagavathar himself.

The lyrics of the song are (from karnatik.com)

pallavi

vijayAmbikE vimalAtmikE
(vijayAmbikE)

anupallavi

ajavanditE amarEndranutE nija bhaktahitE nigamAndarkadE

caraNam

sangIta rUpiNi gaurI pAlisau mAtE harikEsha manamOdini
(vijayAmbikE)

I learnt this song only till here. But I have heard Nithyashree sing a beautiful Chittaswaram
You can listen to Sudha Raghunathan for this song at http://www.hummaa.com/user/vinayanath/comments 

She has not sung any chittaswaram…but she has some kalpana swram at the ending…nice to listen to
