Is there a varnam in Nattai? If so can someone please send me the lyrics
and (if possible) the notation to this varnam?

There is a varnam in nattai by patnam subramanya iyer starting with the
words "palumAru" in adi talam. this and some more rare varnams including
an ata tala varnam in ssahana can be found in the book "Sri venkatesa
Tana Varnangal" published sometime in 1916 or so. i'm not sure of the
author's name but i cam check it out. thanks sanjay subrahmanyan

There are many Varnams in Nattai.

One of the more popular ones is the one by Palghat Parameshwara Bhagavatar beginnig with
the words Sarasijanabha (Adi Talam). It is a beautiful, robust varnam.

The words are:

P. Sarasijanabha mam pahi sakala bhuvana vandya charana

A. Varasyanandura puraadheesha Vyasadi muni vara vandita charita

C. Maanitagunasheela

I can send the notation given the mailing address or one can listen to it in some of
KVN's concerts.

There are some other Varnams though not as popular. There was one more I had learnt
beginning with the words Samininne (composer unknown) which I forgot almost as fast as I
imbibed! I have not gone back to it as I didn't find it too impressive as a five year
old.

(So I've taken the easy way out and composed another one beginning with the same words!)

No the varnams are not same...
sAmi ninne title is very popular among varnams: The varnams with title are
in the following raga's
Sri, sankarAbaraNam, kamavardani (pantuvarAli) and nAttai
They are different varnams in different rAgA's
As u progress u will find that: the varnam "calamela" is in nAtakuranji and
another "calamela" in sankarAbaram (ata tAlam), the varnam ninnu kori is in
mohanA, vasantA and many other rAga's. There is no synonymity as in
composers or lyrics (true here and there u may find some familiar lines but
that's all) htey are different varnams
Anyway.. from one violin student to another...wish you best of luck and
keep persevering.

Prof.S.R.Janakiraman sang this beautiful and elaborate varNam,
"evvarE..." in SahAnA, aTa tALam, in a '93 concert at the
Pittsburgh temple.

"Sarasijanabha" rendered rather simply and crisply here by Yesudas:

See discussion here: http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=651

I know N. Ravikiran too plays this
