06 Ranjani Gayatri chEtAsrI bAlakrishNam dvijAvanti Muthuswami Dikshitar Margazhi 2009

Pallavi
cētaḥ śrī bāla kṛṣṇaṃ 1bhaja rē
cintitārtha prada caraṇāravindaṃ mukundam
cētaḥ śrī bāla kṛṣṇaṃ bhaja rē
cintita-artha prada caraṇa-aravindaṃ mukundam


Anupallavi
nūtana nīrada sadṛśa śarīraṃ nanda kiśōraṃ
pīta vasana dharaṃ kambu kandharaṃ giri dharam
(madhyama kāla sāhityam)
pūtanādi saṃhāraṃ puruṣōttamāvatāraṃ
śītala hṛdaya vihāraṃ śrī rukmiṇī dāram
nūtana nīrada sadṛśa śarīraṃ nanda kiśōraṃ
pīta vasana dharaṃ kambu kandharaṃ giri dharam
pūtanā-ādi saṃhāraṃ puruṣōttama-avatāraṃ
śītala hṛdaya vihāraṃ śrī rukmiṇī dāram

Charanam
navanīta gandha vāha vadanaṃ mṛdu gadanaṃ
naḷina patra nayanaṃ vaṭa patra śayanaṃ
nava campaka nāsikaṃ atasī suma bhāsakaṃ
natēndrādi lōka pālakaṃ mṛga mada tilakam
(madhyama kāla sāhityam)
nava tuḷasī vana mālaṃ nāradādi muni jālaṃ
kuvalayādi paripālaṃ guru guha nuta gōpālam
navanīta gandha vāha vadanaṃ mṛdu gadanaṃ
naḷina patra nayanaṃ vaṭa patra śayanaṃ
nava campaka nāsikaṃ atasī suma bhāsakaṃ

nava tuḷasī vana mālaṃ nārada-ādi muni jālaṃ
kuvalaya-ādi paripālaṃ guru guha nuta gōpālam

Absolutely fantabulous ! As it is, Muthuswamy Dikshitar is majestic compositions and the rendering by this Duo, soul stirring ! Kudos !

[kumar1102]

@yesemkay - You're absolutely right. Dikshithar's majestic and descriptive charaNams are what make his compositions unique. The pRAsa used in this composition is stunning - it is sad that the sisters didn't sing the charaNam.

@lnkurup I guess you really don't understand the art of accompanying. Do you? Vidwan Arun Prakash accompanies the artists with utmost grace and great soft mridangam skills. For a viLamba kaala kruti, one needs to accompany keeping in mind the tempo of the kruti. Vidwan Arun Prakash has done a great job. Please understand music before commenting about someone as well known and as renowned as Arun.

[lnkurup]

does this mridangist belong 2 jaya t v management? got fed up seeing his sleepy face in every song ...? he needs urgent revitalisation....these divine sisters need

some senior maesteros who r well versed in playing chowkam like uks or patri....not this stupid.....sorry 4 being harsh ...but that is the hard truth

[ppadmana]

Classic Dikshitar style! - Slow, melodious singing bringing the true beauty of Dvijavanti.

[lsjtifo]

Muthuswamy Dikshitar has composed almost almost all his songs in Sanskrit, and his compositions roughtly to the extent of 90% are woven in simple Sanskrit which are also popular in all the languages in India (sometimes though in some distorted form) - for ex., Navaneeta, Kuvalaya, occurring this song are easily recognised as to their meaning. Very few of MD's items involve intricate Sanskrit or high flown philosophy. This contrasts with Svathi Tirunal whose language is more difficult poetry.

too slow

[yesemkay]

Very good, but why did they not sing the other charanam too ? I feel this truncating the songs in concerts is a common practice, but that takes away from the full enjoyment and I feel this should be not done. Please sing the song in full in future. Thanks.

[palasseri]

among the duo, you are the best...no doubt...

Thanks for posting...
