TV Ramprasad has rendered " Naraharim Ashrayami ", a Dikshitar's krithi in the raga
Jayashuddamalavi.
This appears to be the asampurna mela equivalent of 18 th mela Hatakambari.

It's a vivadhi ragam in 3rd chakra of Mayamalawagowla. So the S R1 G3 M1 portion resembles Mayamalawagowlai to me atleast with the characteristic G3 antara gandharam supposed to be highest gandharam followed by M1. But the jump from P to D3,N3 in HAtakAmbari is the key, in asampurna the D3 skipped in arohanam but descent has the vivadhi touch.
In the above Dikshitar kriti the raga mudra shows the jump I guess.
Saw a video of Smt Seetha Rajan

I think explaining the HAtakAmbari equivalent ragam and it's scale together with how it's sung usually with both pUrvangam+uthrAngam to bring out the raga swaroopam. She also rendered a Koteeswara Iyer kriti on Lord Muruga.
One more rendition of above Dikshitar kriti by Vignesh Ishwar

Thanks @KKishore for providing all these details.
Although,the vocalist has sung the chittaswaram,it's not easy to get the full picture of the raga.
