not exactly a danceable, but will do if nothing more is available. i was actually looking which is more racy. thanks a lot, nevertheless.

want to know one more thing, how is it classified, like is it a padam or just a kriti? also is there something beyond lyrics and meaning i shud know that is relating to this composition, any story or any info that could help me perform this item with a better understanding more deeper than the mere lyrical meaning,.

another thing is , is the abhinaya is pada artha or how will it go. can i explore?

and thanks a lot

abhinaya in bharatanATyam is almost always padArtha, while in kucipuDi it is vAkyArtha.

Urmila Sathyanarayanan frequently dances this piece.

First in this amalgam (affixed to a pushpanjali):

Shankar, I have to differ. Traditionally only 'Shabdam' has just padartha. Varnam and the rest have padartha, vakyartha and sancharis.

why, even shabdam has sancharis.

not traditionally. They were just supposed to be an introduction abhinaya and hence usually just have padartha. But, of course, these days, sancharis are done.

thanks ganesh. but if you guys wont laugh at me, then i have a question. i can understand if the repetition of a particular like is 2or3 times like in a kauthuvam. you can do padartha without any sort of problem. but in shabdams, the repitition is more. so how is/was a dancer supposed to cover it without getting bored on stage or boring the audiance. or is it the case that the lines are repeated more number of times to cover the sanchari part? i hope you understand my question.

good question. I can only answer what i would do. If anyone else has a different answer please let us know. It would be nice to know how others deal with it. Even in padartha, one thing can be shown in several ways using different mudras. For ex: if you take "sarasijakshulu jalakawade" you can show "girls who have eyes like lotus" in several different ways. Perhaps you can also interpret "sarasija" as fish as it only means "thing born in lakes". that could be lotus or fish. You can also show "jalakawade", which means bathing, in several ways again. For each repetition i would do it differently.

I would like to know what others would do in case of repetitions.
