The jatisvaram in question is in the book "Tha Tanjore Quartette" by K.P.Kittappa & K.P.Sivanandam.
I think many of the tanjai nAlvar's compositions are attributed to ST.

Listen to the following

In a book written by Smt. Mrinalini Sarabhai (Darpana Publication) on bharatanATyam, she mentions that Sri Swati Tirunal composed in hindi, malayalam, telugu, tamizh and marAThi.

Can we have examples of his compositions in tamizh and marAThi?

look at the following url - it gives a charsur release where Smt. parassala ponnammal has sung the song you want.. You can buy either the CD or the song alone..

http://www.charsur.com/charsur/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&products_id=2710

In compilations of ST's songs, are included songs composed by scholars he patronised; and some of these may have been in TamiL and marAThi..

1. TKGovinda rao's book gives a TamiL varNaM - sAmi unnaiyE nAn migacvum nambinEnE.. couldn't find any marAthi..

A 4-part documentary on ST is now available at youtube:
Part 1/4 ; Part 2/4 ; Part 3/4 ; Part 4/4

R-T: The first link takes us to Pandit Jasraj's Bhairav.

Here is a link to the Part1: http://www.youtube.com/user/Musique4eve ... RTJT_Pfq3w

sorry about that... corrected.

Thanks R-T

MuhanaprasAntyaprAsa vyavastha is a sanskrta work on prosody attributed to Swati Tirunal.
It deals with the alankaras of muhana, prasa and antyaprasa in musical compositions in sanskrta.The examples that are cited in this work are from the compositions of mArgadarshi seShayyangar (introduced in the first paragraph as 'Sesha ramanuja kavi). And this work also provides us a source to validate and identify some of seShayyangar's compositions.

Thanks to Dr.P.P.Narayanaswami for making this work available. (A translation effort is underway and will be made available soon)

dear madams and sirs, I think T K Govinda Rao's "Compositions of Maharaja Swathi Thirunal " is an authority and contains almost all the compositions of the genius in detail written in the language of that particular composition, Engilish and in Sanskrit

Hi Folks,
Could somebody please enlighten me about the Hindustani compositions of this prince among poets?

Regards,
Charu

Hi,

I am looking for mamavasada janani in kanada ragam with notations, any help in this regard would be of great help. If available in any book, please let me know the book name.

Ananth

abhiadya - T K Govinda Rao's book "Compositions of Maharaja Swathi Thirunal" has notation for most of Swati Tirunal's compositions

Dear all,
Does anyone have the lyrics to "Ambhoja Nabha"?

Dr BMK has retuned this in kharaharapriya rAga, misra capu tAla. You can find his version on youtube.

Thanks! Yes, I was there in thiruvananthapuram for it!

though i remember it being longer (more lyrics) when I heard it...

There is a cararNa missing here (which I added later):
