Smt Radha Viswanathan continues with a composition of Papanasam Sivan set to Keeravani raga, Adi tala.
Accompanists:
Sri Kandadevi S.Azhagiriswami - Violin
Sri T.K.Murthy - Mridangam
Substance of the song:
O Devi (Goddess) with beautiful Eyes, shaped like a fish, Who lives in Southern Madhura (Madurai), You are my only companion on this journey of life.
The most beautiful Lady in the entire Universe! You are the One Who has captivated the heart of that Lord of Lords - Sri Sundareshwara!
O Great Queen! As the fruit of mighty penance performed by the Pandya King Malayadhwajan, You appeared as the daughter of the king and his wife Kaanchanamaalai. O Lady with speech (Vaani) as sweet as the parrot (Keera), to Whom Lakshmi and Saraswati bow down in veneration. You are the One Who nourished the three forms of Tamil that are sweet like nectar.

Quite natural, "Devi Neeye Thunai" in Raga Keeravani reminds the rendition of M.S Amma & Radha Viswanathan Amma. Recently listened S Aishwarya and S Saundarya, their grand daughters together with Sriranjani Santhanagopalan which was found well synchronized. This Kriti of Papanasa is his master piece on Madurai Meenakshi Amma. Radha Viswanathan's unique high toned shrill voice was certainly a good 'second fiddle' for MS and at the same time her solo renditions were very much appreciated by the fans of MS. Pranams....She left this world in 2018. I am reminded of Papanasam's another'Keeravani' Keerthanam- 'Karunaakarane shivasankarane' which is also a rich composition. 'Keeravani' a Sampoorna ragam/21 st Melakartha which is the shuddha madhyamam equivalent of 'Simhendramadhyamam, which is the 57th Melakarta. It is the 3rd ragam in the 4th chakra Veda. Keeravani may the No.has many janya rāgams (derived scales) associated with it. among ragams having J a nya ragams., 'Kalyana vasantam' is the most popular janya of Keeravani Further Keeravani's notes when shifted using Graha bhedam, yields 3 other major melakarta ragams- Hemavati, Vakulabharanam and Kosalam! .

100 % ms amma

[@Nandakii]

If there was no MS then there was no Radha, if there was no Radha there was no MS. When I search for a Raga, I first search if there was a rendition of MS Amma and Radha Vishwanathan of the Raga. When one listens to the alapanai of MS and Radha, within the first two phrases the Raga will establish itself. Not many musicians are able to achieve that nowadays. Even in instruments. When a Raga is sung, with the Arohana Avarohana as the basis, it is just a Scale and is not a RAGA, and it is NOT Carnatic Music!
