Nagumomu kanaleni ...
Thanks in advance.

There is a beautiful book called "The Spiritual Heritage of
Tyagaraja" published by RK Mission, Madras that gives the text in
Devanagari and meanings in English of almost all of Thyagaraja's
keertanams, with nice commentaries provided in the beginning of the
book. I would recommend the book to everyone with some interest in
the saint-composer. The book costs Rs. 50 or 60 if bought in Madras.
I remember reading about a source for it in the USA.
While we are at it, why don't we compile a list of books on
carnatic composers? We could have a category for books that list their
compositions with meanings/swara notations in various languages,
another for biographies of the composers, yet another for commentaries
on them, etc. Such a list can get into the FAQ list also.
I will give the sahityam of "Nagumomu" in Abheri anyway.

P. S. :-
I have heard someone (I suspect BAlamuraLeekriShNa) singing
a song starting with "Nagumomu kanaleni" in MadhyamAvati. Does anyone
know the details of that song?
Please do.

The song as given by Srini is 'Nagumomu galavani' in Madhyamavati .I am
translating this from Telugu.
Madhyamavati - adi taala
