Anuragamu – Saraswathi
I have heard this song many a times…but somehow I have never thought about the raagam…
I was researching this song after listening to it by vishaka Hari in her Sundara kaandam and I realized this is also composed in a raagam that I have not come across too much…

pallavi
anuraagamu lEni manasuna sujnaanamu raadu
anupallavi
ghanulaina antar jnyaanulaku eruka gaani
caraNam
vaga vagagaa bhujiyincEvaariki truptow reeti
saguNa dhyaanamu* paini sowkhyamu tyaagaraajanuta
Meaning:
Divine wisdom will not blossom in the minds of those devoid of devotion. Enlightened souls are well aware of this. Just as satisfaction got by eating a delicious meal in a relaxed manner only those who meditate on the splendour and attributes to the Supreme with a form can derive genuine experiences of bliss.
