A lady of a Chettiyar (Vaishya) family, Ratnavali, was expectng her baby any time and since Kaveri was in spate, her mother who was on the other bank waited unable to cross the river and go to her daughter's house to help.

Hearing their prayers, Lord Shiva took the form of the mother , arrived at the girl's house and helped deliver the baby. When the real mother arrived the next day, everyone understood His compassion and so the lord is called "taayum Anavar" ( one who also is a mother). In Sanskrit, mAtru (mother) + bhUta (personified).

[spidermonk23]

this is raagam is different from Kaanada isn't it? Slightly different spelling.

[carnaticopia]

kannada is a somewhat obscure ragam that I myself am not very familiar, as opposed to the popular kaanada.

[RamLakshmanan]

Great neraval and swarams! Vijayalakshmi's muthaippu was just perfect!

[sonny19xx]

No words . MAny shades of DK are evident. This raga is so beautiful .

THANKS CARNATICOPIA

[savvysubu]

The closest hinduatani raga of Kannada is a raga called Hamir (not related to Hamir Kalyani)..

[rishivs]

Kannada is a janya of 29 Shankaraabharanam.

The Aarohana / Avarohana is:

S* N3 S D2 P G3 M1 P G3 M1 R2 S

You can hear Sri Vijay Siva employ the GMP GMRS prayoga during the swara phase.

Talam is misrachapu (not triputa)
