Hello,

I'm learning the pada varnam Devi Sri Kamakshi and would like to know who the composer is. The varnam is set in the ragam Valaj.

The pallavi and anupallavi go -

Devi Sri Kamakshi akila bhuvana nayaki
Natajana kalpavalli ananda dayaki

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

P:
Devi Sri Kamakshi akila bhuvana nayaki
A:
Natajana kalpavalli ananda dayaki
C:
Bhava raga tala natya roopini, Siva manolasini

I think it's composed by Madurai N. Krishnan but am not sure.
