characteristics of a vilamba kala krithi

Post by niyer »

A question thats been bugging me for quite some time. What are the essential characteristics for a krithi to qualify to be a vilamba kala krithi ? Please enlighten.

a. Speed - does a very slow krithi qualify to be vilambam ?
b. Structure - number of avarthanams for a meaninful pallavi line / number of karvais in the pallavi line ?
c kalai - All vilamba kala krithis in adi /rupakam are 2 kalai...is this statement true ?
d tala - do krithis in misra chapu and khanda chapu qualify to be vilamba kalam based on the above criterion except kalai ? are there any vilamba kala krithi in khanda chapu ?
e speed variations - there are cases where the same krithi is sung in both slow and fast speeds..does the slow rendering of a krithi usually sung in madhyama kalam qualify to be vilamba kala krithi or vice-versa?
f any other characteristic?
