Hi

Could anybody help me with the lyrics of Sri. Madurai. N. Krishnan's Thillana in Raaga Hamsanandi, Talla Adi ; dedicated to Sri Lakshmi Narasimha.

Are you sure the tillAnA is byMadurai.N.Krishnan? I have lyrics for tillAnAs by Lalgudi, Indira Srinivasan, K.N.Dandayudapani Pillai, Nilakantha Shivan, GNB, Vinai Sesha Iyer, T.K.Govinda Rao, Calcutta Krishnamurti and Srimushnam Raja Rao but none by N.Krishnan.

It starts like "Tham thaka dheem thaka thom thaka nam dhirana...." and the charana sahityam goes like " bhakthanai kaaka vandha Nrsimha..." I'm not sure about the composer. I once heard it at my friend's place long back from Sudha Ragunathan's CD saying all thillanas are the compositions of Madurai N. Krishnan's.


I hope this might be of some help.

Thanks Radha

You are right. I had forgotten about this tillAnA. Here are the caraNA lyrics:

bhaktanai kAkka vanda nrsimha pagalum irauvum illAda nErattil
hiraNiyan samhAram seida mUrtiyE krSNanai kAkka samayam iduvE

Thanks a lot. It will be nice if I could get the lyrics of the entire thillana. Pallavi, anupallavi and charanam.

tAm takadhIm taka. rAgA: hamsAnandi. Adi tALA.

P: tAm taka dhIm taka tom taka Nam dhiranA dhiranA nAdhrutanita
A: tAmta dhImta tomta Namta tanadhiranA tanadhiranA dhiranA
taritta jhaNu dhimi dhimikiTa tatara tAmta tatari Namta takajhaNu
C: bhaktanai kAkka vanda nrsimhA pagalum iravum illAda nErattil
hiraNiyan samhAram seida mUrtiyE krSNanai kAkka samayam iduvE
sa ni dha ni ma dha dha ma dhA ga ga ma dha ni sa ri ga rI

Thanks a lot.
