[Lakshman]

As far as I know there are only two line in this song by Ghanam Krishna Iyer. Here is what I have:

sariga kongu. rAgA: suraTi. rUpaka tALA.

P: sariga kongu musukudani tOvADu saika jEsinadi kaNTimEvO
C: tirigi tirigi jUcukoni sogasugA dEvuDaina mannAruranguDu

Meaning:
Have you seen Him making signs to the woman covering her head with the edge of the sari
embroidered with silver threads?

Again and again, He the God mannAru raMga is looking at her handsomely and divinely!
sariga has two meanings - rightly or correctly and in this case
the silver border (jarigai in tamiL)
kongu - sari edge
saika - secret look or sign
tirigi tirigi - again and again
jUcukone - looked
sogasugA - handsomely
dEvuDaina mannAru rangaDu - the God mannAruranga

[PUNARVASU]

In this context I remeber what my music teacher Shri P.K.Rajagopala Aiyar used to tell us about a particular pallavi-(jocularly) - it refers to a turban with jari border and an ordinary(saadaa) one.
It goes like this- sariga paaga iccheraa-saadaa paaga icchera -can make out it was in Mohanam

[PUNARVASU]

or bhoopALam,rEvagupti, vAsanthi.

As Lakshman mentioned, the song seems to be just those two lines. Here is a version from Balamma's troupe.

I dont know why the recording says Harikamboji...i think the javali is in suruti

[Umesh]

The recording I obtained (it was a collection of songs) had incorrect ragas for some compositions. I changed some of the titles, but not all, so ignore them!

Would anyone have the notation for the javali? It is so pleasing to hear. If you have the notations, please mail to sree.nilakanta@gmail.com. Love to learn to play this.
Thanks

I searched on Youtube for "Sariga Kongu" and found some dance performances. You may not get the notation but you can listen to the tune! https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ ... ngu+javali
