ksrimech - This is not the swarAkshara composition that Rajeshnat was refering to..

You are right. But it definitely is a bA mu kR varnam with "some" svarAkSaras but it is not the svarAkSara composition all by itself.

Dear brother-members, rajeshnat, ramakriya and others, Instead of giving me a correct answer you are also giving me a question. Very nice, indeed! I have asked to name of a composition in which the maximum Svaraksharas are incorporated. Of course, we need such a complex theorem of Nashta & Uddishta of Talaprastara to find the required Tala among the infinite number of Talas. But, as this is not that difficult to answer my question our brother-members readily answered it correctly, though not with the number. However, I congratulate all of you. Thanking all of you for your nice response, amsharma.

BMK comp's in Todi:

Ma manini ni dhamagani ni dasari ni gada --todi
Saraguna gavumu varaguna nilaiye karimachala vadane (tv)--todi
Sudhanidhe mamava sada daya--todi
Telisikonu manna svatantraya manna sariga--todi
Tyagaraja gurum bhajeham tamasadi gunarahitam--todi

The charanam of Lavanya Rama (poornashadjam) - nI manasu nI sogasu nI dinusu when taken for neraval/kalpana may have enough scope for swarAksharas. At, least nI falls in place!

TRS again:

'naravara nISARI' - brOCEvArevarE
'dayatOdAnamosangiSADA' - brOCEvArevarE

Awesome

akella gAru,
I still have not got the answer, may be you are putting a counter to our counter question ? Can you be little more explicit with your communication ?.

TRS Mama sings sAmOdam cintayAmi rather differently than the conventional way, but in my opinion his interpretation has much more aesthetic value - e.g. the svarAkShara in the caraNam: mauni nikara GMN,,,N,,, ...the first N isin the madhya sthAyi, the second in the mandra sthAyi...outstanding.

Dear brother-member, rajeshnat, Today only I saw your post. Extremely sorry for the inordinate delay. Among the compositions of the earlier composers, I think, the Pada-varna, Pankajakshi-Adi-Kambhoji of Maha Vadyanatha Iyer stands first consisting of 72 Svaraksharas in total. All our brother-members brought out many examples obviously revealing that the contemporary composers have exceeded even this number. Very well indeed. Thanking you all, amsharma.

Ashwin - yes, TRS is amazing in how he weaves in swarakshara so nicely in his singinig.
I feel he should be named TR 'Swarakshara' Subramaniam!

I have heard somewhere that Sri Ramaswamy dikshitar(MD's father) composed a varnam consisting only of swarksharams...something which goes like "sa ri ga ri da ni". More light on this?

Sri tyAgarAja's cittaranjani kRti 'nAda tanumaniSam' has all the seven swaras in the caraNa.

sa-ri-ga-ma-pa-dha-ni vara sapta svara

VG sir,

sa-ri-ga-ma-pa-dha-ni of nAda tanumaniSam is not a set of swarAaksharam. HE has just cited the sapta swara( may be to indicate the NishAdhantya raag).
