rendered by PS Narayanaswamy

The Reetigowla song `Brahmanandhamae' had all the charanams set in Madhyama Kalam. `Karuna Rasa Jaladhe,' (Abhogi, Adi) had a chittaswaram for eight avartanams of the tala.

Thanks Meena. I had already looked at this site but was curious to find out if DVMK actually heard these songs.

My wife has learnt the Abhogi kriti - will type the lyrics later.

Does anyone have biographical details about Sri Meesu Krishna?

Hello Lji

Meena is right but with a slight correction.It was rendered by disciples of Chingelput Sh Ranganathan. Thanks anyway for the lyrics of the two compositions you have sent.

Does anyone have biographical details about Sri Meesu Krishna?

Meesu Krishna Iyer (1872-1940). Meesu Krishna Iyer was born in Kallal in Ramnad district. "Meesu was the family name given to them and his Mudhra in the songs was `Meesu Krishna,'" Ranganathan said. He has composed songs on Sadasiva Brahmendral, Lord Muruga, Siva and Ambal. All his songs were given to his close friend, Alathur Venkatesa Iyer, to be tuned. His songs `Dhayapayonidhe' in Jaganmohini and `Parama Pavana' in Ranjani, both incidentally on Sadasiva Brahmendral, are famous kirtanas sung in concerts.

Another composition of mISu kRSNayyar is "SRI rukmiNi",
which is sung with a beautiful and lively cittasvaram
(AlattUr veNkatESa ayyar).

nIku sari evarUrA is by Tyagaraja but no such song is there by Mishukrishna.
Apart from shrI rukmiNIsha there is another song by Mishu Krishna Iyer in
maNirangu-pAvanamurA.

Ashwin: Do you have the lyrics for shrI rukmiNIsha?

Hope you find time to post the lyrics for this song.

Ashwin · Post by **Ashwin** » 25 Apr 2007, 21:36

Lakshman Uncle, from which source did you get the lyrics for parama pAvanA? Some of the sAhitya I know is different, particularly in the last line of the caraNam: bhUparanjani ika pogaDajAla nikE rUpa rUpadhara mISukRSNa sannuta. This also observes the prAsa in the caraNam.

Ashwin:
I must have listened to someone's recording and copied down the words. I don't have any reference info in my database.
Please post your version. Thanks.

Some corrections

abhOgi rAga Adi tAla

karunArasa jaladhE kalayE dina ||P||

SaraNAgata sujana pApamOcana ||
SrI sadASvEndra gurupara SrI swarUpa mAmpAhi |||AP||

bhUsura nilaya SAlivATipura
SAsakArOpita? (tarugana gaganA)?
vasudhAbhogitarAkAra bhAsura
mIsukRShNa mAnasAbja rAja hamsa mAyAtIta ||C||

The caraNa looks like it needs lot more corrections. Im not able to figure out for sure. 2 things- the rAgamudre features in the caraNa. And this kRti is in praise of SAlivATISvara or the presiding deity of tirunelvEli. So, looking at the sthaLapurANa will aid in clarifying some points in the caraNa.

Sreeni Rajarao · Post by **Sreeni Rajarao** » 27 Apr 2007, 03:33

My Father Veena RajaRao has composed in 1942, a kriti in bhuvanagandhAri. I will post a scanned copy of the lyrics and notes (in Kannada) if there is any interest.

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 27 Apr 2007, 07:21

Sri Raja Rao,
Please do! If you have an audio version of the composition, it will be like icing!

kmrasika · Post by **kmrasika** » 30 Apr 2007, 07:46

I second ShrI rshankar's request. Pls do post both Sri Raja Rao Sir. If someone also has the audios for the mIShu kr.shNayyer kritIs please do share it with us. They seem pretty rare and there aren't any books published on the composer's works.
