About Artists:
Pt. Mallikarjun Mansur(31st December, 1910 - 12th September, 1992):
Mallikarjun Bheemrayappa Mansur was born in Mansur, a village in the Dharwad district of Karnataka. As a child, he played a few roles in his brother’s drama company. Recognizing his talent, his father engaged him to a Yakshagana troupe, where he was encouraged to sing many different types of compositions.
During his days in the drama company, Ayyappa Swami, a Carnatic musician noticed his talent and briefly trained him in that form. He was then noticed by Nilkanthabuwa Alurmath (a disciple of the legendary Balkrishnabuwa Ichalkaranjikar) of the Gwalior gharana, who took him to Miraj, and thus began his training in the Hindustani raag-sangeet. For 6 years he received intensive training from Neelkanthbuwa and emerged as a concert performer at the end of this period. He also recorded and released a few commercial records.In 1935, Mansur met Manji Khan, son and disciple of Alladiya Khan, who agreed to accept him as his disciple after listening to his record. Unfortunately Manji Khan died prematurely in 1937. Thereafter, he was directed by Alladiya Khan to his youngest son, Bhurji Khan and continued to train under him till Bhurji Khan died in 1960. Subsequently, he also learnt compositions from Bhurji Khan’s son, Azizuddin Khan.
Although trained in both Gwalior and Jaipur gharanas, the virtuosity of the Jaipur gharana was more evident in his style. He could cast a hypnotic spell on his audience with his astounding breath control, the absolute purity of his Sur and the wonderful way in which he employed
various embellishments. He was highly regarded for his Shruti-kaam. His constant weaving of the Sur with various permutations and combinations always remained in sync with the bhaav of the raga. Mallikarjunji was widely known for his command over a large number of rare ragas like Sampoorna Malkauns, Shuddha Nat, Asa Jogiya, Hem Nat, Khat, Shivmat Bhairav, Bihari, Nayaki Kanada, Bahaduri Todi, Adamabri Kedar, etc.

Gopalam Karamchedu, a blogger shared this translation for the benefit of those unfamiliar with the language.. అక్కా విన్నావా, నేనొక కలగన్నా బియ్యము, వక్కా, తమలపాకూ, (తాటాకూ, కొబ్బరికాయా)చూచా, చిన్నచిన్న జడల, (సుందర దంతాల) గొరవడు, (ఇంటికి) భిక్షానికి రావడం చూచా, మితిమీరిన మోహంతో (అతన్ననుసరించి, పాణిగ్రహణం చేశా,) చెన్నమల్లికార్జునుని చూచి, కళ్లు తెరిచా Oh! Sister listen, I have seen a dream I have seen rice, beetle nut, Beetle leaf, Palmyra leaf and coconut With little plaits and beautiful teeth, I have seen the Gorava come home for alms With exceeding love i have followed him and took his hand, After seeing Chenna Mallikarjuna, I have opened my eyes.

Sir while translating in English you have done great injustice to Akka by saying 'exceeding lust ' because there is love and respect for Lord Shiva.Perhaps you have not read about Akka

we should ban anyone else from singing this song. It deserves to be sung only by Mansoor thande

[@akakirde9452]

Hate to compare but Pandit Venkatesh Kumar might have a more sonorous and popular voice to some, but his improvisations are nowhere near as inspiring as mansurao's Mansur's version is far more passionate imo

[@prafullachandrashetty0830]

The best rendition of this vachana is by Venkatesh Kumar!

[@roopalivelayudhan7911]

I guess this might be more than 35 year old. Pappu is a teenager there, no indication of the buffoon that he will become later.
