RSR: I had already sent you an email explaining the two songs that start with enta nErcinA. The shuddhadhanyAsi /udayaravicandrikA song is by Tyagaraja and the sAvEri song is by Patnam Subramania Iyer. There is no need for any doubt here. Hope others will confirm this. Thanks.

@101-> Sri.Lakshman_ji, Perfectly true. Here is the quote from the mail(9-10-2017) " #16 - if it is entanErcinA enta cUcinA it is in shuddhadhanyAsi and is by Tyagaraja. Patnam's song is entanErcinA saphalamEmi. IT is in sAvEri. ".. i merely said, I WAS confused. and the doubt has been clarified. ( the problem arose because the mp3 was listed as nerchina...poornachandrika..patanam subramanya iyer"...)Confusing on two counts. 1) the ragam name..udhaya ravi chandrika but not applicable here. 2) name of the composer . ]That was before I got your clarification. Thank you.

RSR. The song is not sung by N.C.Vasanthakokilam. It is sung by some later day singer. and the song is neither of the Entanerchinas. It is Ne jesina in Poornachandrika. Only the last two lines of the song and the kalpana swarams are there.

#103, CRama_ji, That is what I feared and suspected, as told by another friend to whom I had sent the mp3. who not conversant with CM, said that the record starts abruptly. Thank you very much for pointing out. I will remove it immediately.
Just today, I have placed the Todi kruthi by NCV. at
https://sites.google.com/site/ncvasanth ... thyagaraja
May I have your confirmation? ( I hope that it does not have the same problem about the singer's name)

RSR. The Emijesite song by NCV given by you in the above post has already been posted by Varsha in # 84. It must be part of a radio concert. complete and wonderfully sung. The songs Vinayaka Vighnanasaka (Chakravakam) and Sattileni (Poorvikalyani) also may belong to the same concert.

@105->CRama_ji-> Thank you very much Sir. I too got all these special songs from varsha_ji upload #91. I have downloaded all the songs and got the opening lines for 16 numbered songs from friends. and sent them to him for information.( the numbered songs were already mentioned in the website. ) Is vinayaka vignanasaka the same as the upload by Raju asokan https://youtu.be/Eo2RTdn8m8k and added to my site at

The ragam has been mentioned as vegavahini? which is correct? just now googled and landed at
https://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8295
Shall I hence mention the ragam as vegavaahini as this is a Dhikshithar kruthi?

Just want to share a passage: ( from a booklet on Dhikshithar)
"There are two schools of melakartha systems, one propounded by Venkatamakhi and the other by Govindacharya.
The nomenclature adopted by the first is called the 'Kanakambari-Phenadyuti' nomenclature
and that by the second is called the 'Kanakangi- Ratnangi' nomenclature.
Muthuswami Dikshitar has followed the first system while Tyagaraja has followed the second.
Among the janya ragas also the names sometimes differ.
To mention a few, Dikshitar has used the names Kasiramakriya,Vegavahini and Sivapantuvarali
for the ragas Pantuvarali, Chakravakom and Subhapantuvarali respectively.
He has used the name Udayaravichandrika for the present Suddhadhanyasi
(this may have relevance for the few preceding posts in this thread)

Out of curiosity about the ragam names controversy, I googled for Kasiramakriya and vegavahini , and came across this nice pdf from Shodhganga ( a kind of R&D papers). I am certain that Sri, CRama will like it as it bears on some of the NCV uplaods. being done

@83->'Sri.Vasanthakokilam'.......In identifying ragams, my practice is to take a good rendering by old time vocalists like DKP.. MS, NCV, GNB, MMI, MLV and identify other songs on that basis. ( rather than arohanam. avarohanam. details and parent scale approach). Accordingly, my reference for Neelaambar is an old gem by DKP ( 'maamava maadhava dhevaa krushnaa"). Neelanmbari typically is sung in slow tempo and normal octave region only. The lines by NCV 'vEllAai malaranai mael avaL , veeNaiyum kaiyum', is not reconcilable with neelaambari sanchaaram but easily with Thilang, With due regards. Only the NCV song remains in my memory. (not the orchestration). With 50% hearing impairment, I am unable to either endorse or refute your opinion about the ragam of the first stanza, When it comes to ragams in ragamalika , our forum members give different replies. lakshman_ji says that the first stanza is sahana. ! identifying ragas correctly in ragamalikas is a good exercise, I believe. May I have your opinion about the quality of https://sites.google.com/site/ncvasanth ... thyagaraja

RSR, got it.
What Lakshmanji says may be for a different tuning of the same song.

others who read this post, please give this link a listen and write down the ragas you hear. This way RSR can document the song correctly. Thanks.

@113-> Thank you, ji. There is no problem with beemplaas and kamaaj for second and third stanzas. The first stanza is tilang.
veLLai malaraNai mEl avaL veeNaiyum kaiyum ....etc
வெள்ளை மலரணைமேல்-அவள்வீணையும் கையும் விரிந்த முகமலர்
When she repeats these lines, It sounds exactly like other famous songs in tilang like 1) shyaama sundara madana mohana ..by MS in sevasdahanam film
https://sites.google.com/site/homage2ms ... ara-tilang
2) saanthi nilava vendum by DKP
https://sites.google.com/site/dkpattamm ... ava-vendum
3) yadhunandhana gopala by MS in Meera

4) nallathor veeNai seythe athai nangedap puzhuthiyil... ( film Rama rajyam AVM productions..tamil 1946) .

As I said, such a foray is not found in neelaambari .
==================================================================
For neelaambari, DKP's maamava maadhava deva krushna is the reference. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate that 'plate'

@115-> Sure, ji!.. Kindly see https://sites.google.com/site/ncvasanth ... 01-pillaip
Though DKP is one of my adored musicians, I am not much of a listener to her concert songs after 1970. Her Neelaambari that I have cited is good enough reference for me.. ' ambuja lochana....'.. I observe that neelaambari always remains in the limited range of the octave of rendering...central-lower Let us await, inputs from actual vocalists. No offence meant

This seems to be the song, right?
https://youtu.be/IxkyKHMzPJM

The opening strains are Tilang, but quickly the instruments and singer move to an indubitable Nilambari.
So it's a tie!
Yes, I agree!, though I'd said only Neelambari in the other discussion. The instrumental opening and the first two lines are in Tilang if I remember right.

@117-> That is fine. but my contention is that the Tilang part is brought out unmistakably in the repetition of 'veLLai malaraMai mel'. (in the higher reach) .. Moreover... though in hindi film music of the 1950 decade, music directors like CRamachandra, Naushad, MadanMohan and Shankar Jaikishen used to score wonderful songs based on classical ragas but also mix raga for ranjakathvam, that was not the case in most of the non-kruthi records given by MS.DKP and NCV If they were ragamalikas, each stanza will be of one raga only. Some examples which come to my mind are 1) thavamum palitthathammA,,, 2) dheyvatth thamizh nAttinile 3) vadavaraiya ..4) mudiyondri moovulakangalum 5) yaamarintha mozhikalile 6) chenthamizhnaadenum pothinile ( all 78 rpm records) . SVV was a very creative music director and for all that we know, he might have used just one or two ragams in a three minute record. Typically oLi padaittha kaNNInAy .. Instrumental interlude used to be brief but bewitching. He would not mix two ragams in a single stanza.

RSR, may be you are overthinking this. There is unmistakable Neelambari there and that portion is NOT thilang ( leaving aside all the technicalities of how ragas are typically presented in film music ). I do not know how you can not see similarity to that Neelambari portion to the numerous Neelambari songs. That is what I was saying back in October. I am glad we reopened this discussion so we can tie it up nicely instead of leaving it open.

May be you are used to Neelambari being sung slower and not at the tempo NCV is singing.

I'm torn here. I don't think it is Tilang. The instrumental portion is not Tilang either. Wherever it is purely sgmpns-snpmgs it sounds like gambheera nattai (GN). That said SGMPNS like GN is common to Neelambari. But from 0:18 to 0:25, there are many rgm.. At 18, it goes rgm..-pnsmg (pl correct me if I'm wrong about the ri). At 0:21, it goes pm-g.. RGMP..MG..RGM...G.S.. - what raga is that??! Not GN or Tilang or Neelambari. I'd say it sounds like a playful shankarabharanam. It could be anything!

Then the song begins with the first line ending at Tara shadjam, but with a small sangati that goes like pnsnp. The ni does not sound like ni2 to me, a requirement of Tilang. The word kandu (aval penmaiyai kandu) is NSNP and that does not seem to have a N2 either.

I'm leaning again towards believing that it's either only Neelambari or GN and Neelambari, which is unlikely, because the other stanzas are in just one raga. Also, the swaras of GN don't clash with Neelambari. Plus may be we are influenced by the impression we have of Neelambari being a sedate/sedative raga that this unfamiliar aspect of Neelambari just cannot be squared with what we are familiar with, and we think it has to be a different raga. It's true for me.

". True.
'it could be anything!"
...May be that Ranganayaki is right. If there are very limited lines , it is possivble that it evokes the shades of quite a few ragams. There are many such controversies in CM world. The instances of Tilang in other songs based on which I take it as Tilang have been given..May be , if not exactly tilang, some CM raga closely allied to it. (circumstancial evidence: In that decade, many ragamalikas were based on ragams common to both HM & CM. ) For example, the songs in ragams like beemplas, karnatakadevagandhari, aaberi, rathipathipriya and such, sound much similar to each other. . It is not about the tempo in which it is sung by NCV, but the range of neelkaambari, essentially sung in lower octaves. . However, i bow to experts . Let the discussion continue. We will get interesting insights.

No, I meant only all the rgm and rgmp between 0:18 and 0:25. Just that part it just stands out like shankarabharanam swaras, and don't fit with Neelambari. So many janyas too might have those swaras and I think it's pointless to try to identify it. The instrumental interlude is not rigorous and in fact the wind instrument had quite a few slips. Yet it passed and made it into the recording!

I think it's both, the tempo and the range.

But RSR, you don't mean "lower octaves," but the lower part of the middle octave. The upper octave is the tara sthayee and the lower octave is the mandara sthayee.

@124=->In all humility, I submit that the same ragam and even by the same composer ,may not reveal its essential characteristic in all the compositions. My favourite illustrations are the kruthis in kamaj. by Thyagaraja and Dhikshithar. In a different thread, I had mentioned seethapathe (not so good) and sujana jeevana (fine)by Thyagaraja and saarasadhaLa (wonderful) by Dheekshithar. DKP has sung a few more in neelAmbari and all of them are of slow tempo and in as you say, the lower regions of the middle octave. ( the range may go into pa in lower octave soetimes)
.... karaharapriya ,(or some raga similar) in which Thyagaraja swami has given quite a few compositions, is made a mockery of , in a film song with harmonium and all that . I forget the name of the film. 'puthuppeNNin manathai' 1948 etc. It seems there are 3000 ragams! so long as the identification is not far off the mark, let us enjoy the song if good and think less of grammar.

"he Hindu dated November 8, 1951, carries a small news item. Captioned “Death of Srimathi N.C. Vasanthakokilam” it states: “The death occurred of Srimathi N.C. Vasanthakokilam, the well-known South Indian musician, last evening at her residence in Gopalapuram. She was ailing for the past two weeks and was in a private nursing home till November 6. She was 32.”

The star had been suffering from tuberculosis and it was only a matter of time before death came a calling. On November 21, there was an even smaller news item. It stated that “at a meeting of the Indian Fine Arts Society held on November 10 under the presidentship of Mr. K.S. Ramaswami Sastri, a condolence resolution touching the death of Srimathi N.C. Vasanthakokilam was passed.” And with that, N.C. Vasanthakokilam was history. It was a very quiet farewell to a person who for some time was considered to be a leading Carnatic musician.

available for sharing was exhausted....but some kind souls have uploaded old gems from 1940-1950 films.
Here is NCV EPPO VARUVAARO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsKXayv ... dded_uturn

The tune is the same as MMI rendition of GopalaKrishna Barathy song (Jonpuri) but the lyrics have been slightly changed for this film version.
The song is from Venugaanam ( V.V.Sadagopan and N.C.Vsanthakokilam-1941 film)

pozhuthu polarnthathu yaam seytha thavattyhaal...SUBRAMANYA BARATHY.( though she has not sung all the stanzas.)

Hoping that the link works.
பொழுது புலர்ந்தது; யாம்செய்த தவத்தால்,
புன்மை யிருட்கணம் போயின யாவும்;(yaavaiyum)
எழுபசும் பொற்சுடர் எங்கணும் பரவி
எழுந்து விளங்கியது அறிவெனும் இரவி;
தொழுதுனை வாழ்த்தி வணங்குதற்கு இங்குஉன்
தொண்டர்பல் லாயிரர் சூழ்ந்துநிற் கின்றோம்;
விழிதுயில் கின்றனை இன்னும்எம் தாயே!
வியப்பிது காண்!பள்ளி யெழுந்தரு ளாயே!

N.C.Vsanthakokilam -ragamalika- 1950-Krushnavijayam. 'aayar maNaiyil maayan vaLarnthu'.
https://sites.google.com/site/4mp3files ... aniyil.mp3

The lyrics in tamiZh given with ragam information at
https://sites.google.com/site/4techstri ... ncv-dkp-ms
----------------------------
1) கரஹப்ரியா
ஆயர் மனையிலே மாயன் வளர்ந்து
விளையாடும் விந்தை என் சொல்வேன்!
பெற்ற தாயினும் ,அந்த யசோதை பரிந்து அமுது ஊட்டிச் சீராட்டித் தாலாட்ட பாலகிருஷ்ணன் -
கம்சன் முதல் -உலகிற்கு இம்சை செய் கொடியவரைக்
கருவறுக்கத் தக்க தருணம் பார்த்துக் கொண்டு
---------------------------
2) கேதாரகௌள
கனவிலும் கண்ணன் நினைவால் கலங்கினான் கம்சன்
கருமுகிலைக் கமல மலரைக்
கன இருளைக்
கண்ணாடியைக் காணும் தோறும்
அஞ்சி நடுங்கினான் --
சபை தனில் ஒருநாள்
---------------------------
3 அடாணா
"எனது வைரி கிட்டன் என்ற பெயருடன்
எங்கோ மறைந்து வளர்கிறானாம்
இருளினும் கரு நிறத்திருடன் ,அவனைக்
கொன்று வந்தாலும்- உயிருடன்
கொண்டு வந்தாலும் -அவரைக்
கொண்டாடுவேன் --அன்றே
திருவிழாக் கொண்டாடுவேன் " என்றான்.
-----------------------------
4) ஹரிகாம்போதி
கும்பலில் நீ முந்தி நான் முந்தி என்று பல
குரலுடன் ஆர்த்தெழுந்தார் கொடும் அசுரர்
கோர சகடாசுரன் ,குருவி பகாசுரன்
வத்சன் வ்ருஷபாசுரன்
தேனுகன், அரிஷ்டன், கேசி,ப்ரலம்பன்
காளியனுடன் -பூதனை
-------------------------------
5) செஞ்சுருட்டி
மெல்ல மெல்ல நந்தகோபன்
அரண்மனைக்குள்ளே புகுந்து
மலர்க கண்ணனைக் கண்டாள்
-------------------------------
6) பெஹாக்
நஞ்சளைந்த பெருந்தனத்தாள் -யது
நாயகனைக் கொல்லும் மனத்தாள்
வஞ்சனையால் கையில் எடுத்தாள் -
மணி வண்ணன் வாய்திறந்து நகைத்தான்
பாலகிருஷ்ணன் பூதனைப் பேயின்
முலைப் பாலுடன் , அவள் ஆவியைக் குடித்தான்
-------------------------------------------------
7) ஸ்ரீரஞ்சனி
கட்டின உரலை இழுத்துக் கொண்டு கண்ணன்
இரண்டு மருத மர நடுவில் தவழ்ந்தான்
வெட்டி முறித்ததுபோல் மரமிரண்டும்
வேருடன் விழ- யமனஅர்ஜுனர் பணிந்தார்
காலில் சதங்கை கொஞ்ச -முடியில் மயில்
பீலியும் ஒளி வீசத் - திருமேனி
முழுதும் புழுதியளைந்தோடி ,யசோதையின்
மேலே சாய்ந்த பாலகோபாலநன் தனை
அண்ணன் பலராமன் --"அம்மா ! இவன்
மண்ணை வாரியுண்டான் "-என்றான்.
கண்ணன் அஞ்சுவான் போல் நகர்ந்தான்
அன்னை சினந்து -'உன் வாய் திற " என்றாள்
---------------------------------
8) கதன குதூகலம்
மாதவன் பவள வாய் திறந்தான்
மாதா அதைக்கண்டு - கண்கள் மருண்டாள்
அண்ட சராசரங்கள் அங்கு கண்டாள்

The above Eppo varuvaro is not the song of Gopalakrishna Brathy. Only the pallavi and ragam is same. Different song

In-te-resting! A poor, could I say, lazy, attempt at both lyrics and music :( Music is by Govindarajulu Naidu, I see by searching). PS wrote the lyrics for many films then, and my guess is--it wouldn't have been him! Poor GKB :(
