    Sogasuga Ragam: Sri Ranjani (22th Mela janyam) ARO: S R2 G2 M1 D2 N2 S AVA: S N2 D2 M1 G2 R2 S Talam: Rupakam Composer: Tyagaraja Version: M.S.

    Subbalakshmi Lyrics courtesy: www.sangeetham.com || ||

    Pallavi: Sogasugaa Mridanga Taalamu Jata Gurcchi Ninnu Sokkajeyu Dheerudevvado Anupallavi: Nigamashirortthamu Galgina Nija Vaakkulato Svara Shuddhamuto Charanam : Yati Visrama Sadbhakti Virati Draakshaarasa Navarasa Yutakrtiche Bhajiyinche Yukti Tyaagaraajuni Taramaa (Shree) Raama Meaning: (from sangeetham.com) Who is ("evvado") the valiant one ("dheerudu") enchanting you ("sokkajeya") by harmonising ("jata gurcchi") so pleasurably ("sogasuga") the drum ("mridanga") and the beat ("taala")? Who is the valiant one ("dheerudu") enchanting you by singing the notes ("swara") with clarity ("shuddhamuto"), using for words ("vaakkulato") the absolute truth ("nija ") enshrined ("galgina") in the Vedas ("nigama")? Is it possible ("taramaa") for Tyagaraja to do all this and create ("che") and sing ("bhajiyinche") songs ("krithi") that follow the rules in prosody ("yati"), pausing at the right places ("visrama"), possessing the sweetness of grape ("draaksha") juice ("rasa"), comprising the nine ('nava") emotions ("rasa"), standing firm on the bedrock of faith ("virati")? Who is the valiant one enchanting you by harmonising so pleasurably the drum and the beat? Notes: The kriti, sets out the essential characteristics of composing and rendering kritis. In a question format (to quote Prof William Jackson), Tyagaraja sets out all requisites for a good composer and a singer. A good kriti's words are likened to OmkAra, the praNava mantra as per the kriti. This is the essence of nAdOpAsana. Some of the other terms used are explained below: yati: a rule of prosody, particularly used in Telugu and Sanskrit, where the opening letter of a line, repeats at measured intervals. vishrama: Also known as virAma. This denotes a pause. virati: Complete detachment to worldly issues and unswerving concentration on the almighty. drAkshArasa: Compositions are qualified as drAkshArasa, madhu, kshIra, kadalI and nArikEla depending on their simplicity of meaning and the ease with which they are understood and appreciated by listeners. drAkshArasa is the simplest among them.
