This composition in the raga Shanmugapriya by Thyagaraja swamigal is not something one might have heard very often.I had the chance to listen to this kriti played by the great violin maestro Lalgudi Jayaraman.I have not heard the song anywhere before that.After listening to the shanmugapriya played by the maestro ,I was very much exposed to a new version of the raga which I was not familiar before.Only the Ni (nishadam) and Ri(Rishabam) are sharps and all the other swarams are flat.
The delicate touches with the already existing aesthetic touch of the composition gave the raga and the kriti a whole new dimension.Shanmugapriya already has some memorable compositons like saravanabhava guhanae,the famous thirupugazh "Muthaitharum"by Arunagirinathar,vilaiyada idhu nerama to name a few.But this kriti is a real crown to the raga.

Vaddane Varu by Lalgudi G.Jayaraman
The very famous film composition Maraindirundhu Parkum in the movie Thillana Mohananambal is also in this raga.
