Looking for Dvijavanthi varnam by Dr.S.Ramanathan

Place to go if you want to ask someone identify raga, tala, composer etc or ask for sāhitya (lyrics) or notations or translations.

I learnt this varnam - Dvijavanti, Adi thalam, starting "Malarinum melli", several years ago. This is a composition of Dr.S.Ramanathan, taught to me by Smt.Savithri Satyamurthi. I have not been in touch and will not be able to contact her until next year, when I hope to go to Madras.
Meantime, does anyone have swaras and sahitya for this varnam? All I remember is the pallavi. :(

Thanks Lakshman-ji.

Do you know if there is any book published - with Dr.S.Ramanathan's compositions?

Dear Mr.Lakshman
Do you have the notation for this varnam. Can you pl. send it to my email adddress gavats@gmail.com.
Also while I was browsing I saw that the following songs have been composed by Dr.S.Ramanathan. If you can get whatever is available I will be greatful to you.

chingan: I am sorry I didn't quite understand your question. Are you asking whether the songs you listed are not by S.Ramanathan? I got the info on these songs from the disciples of SR.
I don't have the notation for the dvijAvanti varNa. I wrote down the lyrics from an audio clip.

there is also a varNam in rItigauLa which starts as 'neela mayil meedhu' composed by Dr. S Ramanathan. I have heard Smt Sowmya sing it at concerts.

Here is a clip of Dr. Ramanathan's grand-daughter (Ms. Lavanya Raghuraman - I assume she is Smt. Vanathi Raghuraman's daughter) dancing to this composition as a tribute:
