for the song 'Sabapathi' in the raga 'Abhogi' composed (by
Papanasam Sivan) ?

TIA,

Dear Ranga:

Here is the song as I know it. Please note that my notations
may be slightly different than the one followed in RMIC.
This is one of my favorite krithis.

Pallavi
^^^^^^^

SabhApathiki VEra Dhaivam
SamAnamAgumA (Thillai SabhApathi ...)

Anupallavi
^^^^^^^^^^

KrupAnidhi IvaraipOle
KiddaikumO Indha Dharani Dhanile (SabhApathiki ...)

Charanam
^^^^^^^^

Oru Dharam Shiva Chidhambaram
Yendru SonnAl PodhumE
Paragarhikki VEra Puniyam PannavEndumO
Ariyar Pullayar MOvar Padham
AdaindhAr YendrE PurAnam
Arindhu Solla KEtOm
GOpAlakrishnan PAdum Thillai (SabhApathiki ...)

I always thought, and may be I am wrong, that this was a
composition of Shri Gopalakrishna Bharati !!??

It is indeed a song by Gopalakrishna Bharathi as his muththirai "Gopalakrishnan"
attests. Numerous artistes have recorded this song and identified it as his.
Papanasam Sivan's songs generally have rAmadAsan as the muththirai.

There is even a story associated with this song. Gopalakrishna Bharathi
was visiting Tyagaraja, when Tyagaraja asked him if he had ever composed
in Abhogi. In response to that query, Gopalakrishna Bharathi is said to
have sung this krithi.

It's as follows:

Pallavi
----------
sabAbathikku vEru deivam
samAnamAgumA, thillai (sabAbathikku)

Anupallavi
---------------
kripAnithi ivaraipOlE
kidaikkumO intha dharanithanil(or vElithanilE)

Charanam
---------------
orutharam siva chidambaram endruraitthAl pOthumE
paragathikku vEru punniyam panna vEndumA

ariyapulavar moovar pAdam adainthAr yendrE purAnam
purinthu solla kEttOm, gOpAlakrishnan pAdum thillai (sabAbathikku)

The song was by Gopalakrishna Bharathi and is set to Roopaka talam. I
recommend listening to KVN's(K.V.Narayanaswami) rendition at his concert
in France. It's one of the best I've heard. It's followed by
Raghuvara(Panthuvarali) in the cassette.
