BTW Manirangu has an equivalent in HM with a very strange name :
LankaDahan Sarang( as per a comparative table that I picked up from the Internet many years ago.Can someone confirm this ?)

and an alapana by TNS

Kji: After the joke he starts with the Alapanai, then again he says something...about Guru Kataksham. Can you explain bcos, only the where he says "Guru Kataaksham illai na onnum nadakkadu" is heard but what he says earlier was not clear to me.

I hear something like ' evvalavu adi pattirukku...somu..appidingaran...' I guess he is trying to make a point that people commented about his place in the music field ..esp at a time when non-brahmins were not that given an esteem -just like MKT.. He must have been trying to say that though people have had such views, it is because of 'Guru Kataksham' he has managed to survive... After a pause he says ' Guru nadha' and then continues his alapana...There is a sad tone when he says that I think..

One Kriti by Kavi Kunjara Bharati - Padmapeetathil Muthukumaran sewai" is a good one in Manirangu.

Pallavi starts with Ri saa of tAra stAyi, Anupallavi and Charanam starts with Madyama of Madya stAyi - give a kaLai to the rag. In Charanam, usage of pa ni pa ma paa ma gaa ri just juices the essence.

The mudra is ' kavi kunjaran tamizhai uvandu geethangal paada' well fit and beautifies.

Coolkarni:
I checked on Lankadahan Sarang and the author B.Subba Rao of Raganidhi says:
Karnatak raga Manirangu has some resemblance to the Audava-Shadava type of Lankadahan Sarang. In Manirangu there is no vakra sanchara in the avaroha and Ga is elongated. Only Komal Ni is used in both aroha and avaroha.
Three other ragas that also have resemblance to Lankadahan Sarang are: shree, Kanakavarali and Shuddha Velavali. But Tivra Ni is not used in any of these.

Goks,

There are many renditions of mamava.
1. Vijay Siva in a Music Today album titled Raamamrutham- a slokam ends the song
This is 'my' best.
2. MS amma - SaReGaMa - radio recitals - CD3
3. Bala Murali Krishna - Anand Audio titled Dikshithar krithis
4. Sikkil Gurucharan - Rajalakshmi audio titled Ramayanam
Hope these help. But none of this has manirangu raga alapana.

Sanjay also sings mAmava pattabhirama really well. A few of years ago, at an off-season concert at MFAC, he sang a brillaint alapana and had an elaborate swaraprastara at navaratna mantape. The influence of GNB's music was ver much evident in that .

The concert also had a great renditions of mundu venuka (darbar), bagumeera kanunatho (shankarabharanam) and shivakama sundari (mukhari).

I wish this concert is made available commercially.

hi,

can people enlighten me on the stories behind the following lines in the charanam of the oothukkAdu maNirangu song "(y)Arenna sonnAlum" question regarding a few charanam:

tOlayaRindu kani dUra eRindu
veRum tOlai tuNindoruvan tandAnallavO!

mElaippiDi avalai vENumenRE terindu
virumbi oruvan anRu tandAnallavO!

kAlamellAm tavam irundu kanindu kani

I know the second one is kucEla. But what about the first and third one?

Thanks

Thanks
Arun

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 15 Jan 2007, 23:19

Arun,
I am not sure if I understood your question, but this is what I took it to be: here is the explanation for the sabari mOkSam episode - kAlam ellAm tavam irundu, kanindu - Sabari spent YEARS waiting for the lord to show up in the ASram - her guru (matanga, IIRC) had asked her to wait for Him as he left his mortal coil, and left the ASram in SabarI's care, and per his instructions, she waited patiently performing penance (tavam irundu), and in the process she became old and wizened and wise (kanindu). And when the lord did arrive, she was so clear and insistent that she would only offer sweet fruits (kani) to Him, that she tasted them first before presenting them to him (kaDittu, suvaittu tandAL).
Is this what you were looking for? The words literally dance in front of ones eyes, right?
This is open to other interprettation and corrections...

arunk · Post by **arunk** » 16 Jan 2007, 00:00

ravi,

thanks. Thats exactly what I was looking for. I wasnt looking for story behind the story, as i dont know the story itself that well and wanted to know it!

Arun

arunk · Post by **arunk** » 16 Jan 2007, 21:58

i did some googling and got some information on the vidura episode but there seem varying versions. Some say vidura's wife gives Krishna banana skin instead of banana as she forgets herself in devotion to Lord and vidura chides her etc. In other versions, it is vidura himself who gives the banana skin forgetting himself. But in this song, the words imply that it is vidura who is bold enough (tuNIndu) to give it, sort of giving a connotation that he knew he was giving the skin (??) - or that could an extraneous interpretation i am making.

Can someone give a better picture?

Arun

Ksrimech I was there at the MFAC concert too - brilliant Manirang - probably the only time I hae heard it as a main! TMK often sings Mamava Pattabhirama in the tukkada section - his rendition is also very nice. I also liked a Priya Sisters renditions in one of their earlier commercial releases.

Among the veterans, DKP/DKJ had a marked preference for this raga.

Nothing that can come close to Mamava Pattabhirama in this raga though - it is truly the Pattabhirama of Manirang compositions!
