Meaning:
How grand and imposing the wedding of SIta is! Praised by AnjanEya, this Hero of countless exploits, having the sun and the moon as His eyes, and possessing a frame of ravishing beauty is an unfailing Protector of His devotees and Bestower of prosperity and Beatitude, which is a part of His LIlas. He causes terror in the minds of RAkshasas. His calmness and composure reveal Him as one who has no more desires to be fulfilled. Sporting a radiant blue hue, He is the source of Bliss for the world. Resider of AyOdhya, He is the Prop of the entire world. A peerless warrior in battles, He is beyond the ken of men of arrogance and haughtiness. He is tall and courageous, reminding one of the great Mount MEru. He is the Hero figuring in the Scriptures. With an unmatched form, He is the mainstay of His devotees, whose sins He wipes out graciously. Celebrated by Lord Siva in song and music, He is the raft enabling deserving mortals to cross the ocean of SamsAra. That is the aim of His incarnation in the solar race, He whom TyAgarAja worships.

[eramesan]

Isn't this Kurinji ragam?

[carnaticopia]

Kurinji is a very closely related ragam. But this is navrOj I think. Thanks.

[ashgene]

Thankk you again! great work

[carnaticopia]

You're welcome. Vijay Shiva has performed very well indeed. It is a great pleasure for me that other people are enjoying his singing.

[arvstandard]

This song is sung during Wedding.

Probably, they are singing this in high pitch, so that,

(a)All the audience inside the Marriage hall can hear their voice (those days, no mic systems)

(b)In Marriages, all sorts of discussion take place throughout the day (even Bad words)during the marriage function. Since, these songs are sung in High pitch, the couple atleast at the time of Muhurtham hear only these GOOD words and not any "bad" words.

This is purely my guess.

[indurs]

carnaticopia many thanks for your commendable effort in loading all these wonderful songs with lyrics and ragam and talam

[kiney0713]

Also called Kurinji, I believe.

[putcha12]

Navroj

(see description)

[prohomestudio]

What raaga is this ?

Is this Sankarabaranam or Navroj ?

[sharanyaac]

Splendid performance! Thanks for uploading.

[ashwin1441]

Can someone tell me why at mostly high pitch places in the song, RK Shriram kumar uses G-string in the violin. just curious if there is any interesting answer to my observation.

[eramesan]

great video! thank you.

[obuls]
