I would also require the lyrics and meaning of the Khamas Varnam by Tanjore Ponniah, one of the Tanjore brothers. This Varnam is titled 'sAmI nI rammanavE' and is in praise of Lord Shiva. Kindly help me with this.

I have a question for DRS/Arasi:

If I were to describe someone special, I would choose to describe him/her as 'extraordinary', but in many compositions, like this one, the description goes 'he/she is not ordinary' (sAmAnya dora g(k)AdE in this instance)....is there any reason why the lack of a negative is used rather than a resounding positive?

When you say "not bad at all" it means "good" but carries more weight than saying simply "good" because it elicits a positive when it was not really expected. In that sense it is a complimentary expression.

"Don't think of him as any 'run of the mill' feller. He is truly special!"--is how I read it. After all, his 'sogasu' is what has appealed to her in the first place. Good abhinayA at 'sAmAnya' (almost derisive) and 'gAdu' (of admiration) would say it all...
