Hello Apsara,

'saranAgathi' is not submission. It is surrender, in my view.

[apsara]

Thank you!!!

Not sure if these are for the same Tillana ! ?

I found the Lyrics of this Tillana, also in these 2 links :
L1 : http://forumhub.com/indcmusic/7986.16758.12.52.07.html
and
L2 : http://greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fet ... _id=00AzB2

However, it seems that there are diffs in the Lyrics in the above 2 links (L1 and L2) wrt what is given here in this Thread (T).
I would like to know if they all (all the 3 links) are referring to the same Tillana.

Also, in L1, Sudha requests for the Lyrics of this Tillana in Ragam Brindavana Saranga ??, but here, it states the Ragam as Nattai / GN.

Kindly clarify.

If any of the stanzas are missing here, it may also pl be added.

TIA

PS : When compared with Link L1, In Link L2, "(dhAmita)" is added at the end of each Charanam.
