Song: kuzhaloodum kaNNan
RAgam: chArukEsi
TALam:
Composer: Viruttam (Pasuram) by Periazhvar and Varnam by Lalgudi Jayaraman
Language: Tamil
Concert: MArgazhi MahOtsavam 2007

Viruttam (addressed to Lord Krishna)
pallANdu pallANdu pallAyiraththANdu *
palkOdi nURAyiramum
mallANda thinthOL maNivaNNA * un
sEvadi sevvithiruk kAppu

Meaning:
O Lord who destroyed the wrestlers with Your strong shoulders and having the dark blue emerald color. For many thousands of years and for many thousand Brahma years, thus for all time, may Your divine red feet's beauty be protected.

Kuzhaloodum KaNNan is similar in lyrics and meaning to the Hindi film song "Shyam teri bansi pukare ..." which is also in chArukEsi.

  • This is actually a Varnam(Charukeshi) by Lalgudi Jayaraman Sir.

  • Can you elaborate on that? Are you saying the song was composed by him? Surely, the viruttam is older than that.

  • the virutham is traditional, whilst the varnam was composed by Lalgudi Sir.

  • Thanks. Updated info. Also noted that coincidentally, the Hindi film song "Shyam teri bansi" is similar to "kuzhaloodum kaNNan" and is also in chArukEsi.

  • you are right, quite right. however, i enjoyed this rendition.

  • She actually did butcher the varnam. She has was terribly off thalam, probably due to the mridangist speeding up. Also, she mixed up the order of the lyrics of the second chittaiswaram after the charanam. She sang R, G, SRGM before singing RGMNDPM.

    She puts herself on stage as a professional singer, therefore we as the audience are allowed to criticize her. We are paying for the shows, we have every right to say she's wrong if we have reason to back up our statements.

    Krishna is bhoktaram. The whole presentation is actually meant for Krishna's pleasure. God is the one who is to be pleased, not the audience.

  • Nithyasree , amma simply you are grate.

  • Great quality from the the great Nithyashree.I love Charukesi.

  • A GREAT RENDITION.

  • when sung with more mastery of the ragam, charukesi becomes one of the most beautiful ragams ive ever heard. this is just my humble opinion. Of course if you have heard the song "raagathil siranthathu raagam ethu?", you would know the answer to which is the most excellent ragam. :)

  • don't mean to be offensive (i love gay men!) but i was wondering because that's what i heard!
