In the kRti 'sarasa sAma dAna' -- rAga kApinArAyaNi, zrI tyAgarAja
extols the Lord about the way He dealt with rAvaNa.
sarasa sAma dAna bhEda daNDa catura

hatamu jEsitivi tyAgarAja nuta (sarasa)
Gist
O Elegant Lord who is adept in the four-fold actions (of rAja dharma) --
conciliation, gift or bribe, creation of dissension and punishment! O Lord praised
by this tyAgarAja!
rAvaNa being the eminent devotee of the great Lord ziva, could not
understand Your words!
You nicely conveyed much beneficial words; You said that 'I shall offer
even ayOdhyA for ever'; as he (rAvaNa) did not listen even after making
vibhISaNa -- his brother who supplicated before You -- as King of laGkA, You
ultimately slayed him;
Which God is equal to You? deign to protect me.
Unless you are blessed... You cannot hear this masterpiece.
Ganapathi Aswath your assessment is true
Absolutely .
True
That's true...
Or unless you have RUclips search...
In Neraval of Hiitavu, with its variations of Hitavui as Hitavuive, Hitavuive, Hitavuivee .....I sensed creative playfulness, giving me immense joy - Isn't that the very purpose of music?
Indeed Yes.
Great soul MMI
I am hearing this song atleast one time in a day, everyday.. since so many years...everytime it make me wondering how it was possible for a human being to sing like this and handling the swaram in such a scintillating style....amazing... No doubt that he was "Kaliyuga Naradha"...
Yes, these songs are addictive.
Plain and simple. Superhuman music and guru's krupa
One of best mridangam accompaniments 👏🏻👏🏻. Not intruding the song, but giving excellent platform. Wow!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
A great singer in 1960s.We used to listen with great awe in those days.
My father used to say that rasikaa would be eagerly and impatiently waiting for uii uiis. I have been listening to MMI for past 40 yrs(recorded version) and hv become like his old day rasikas
The apex is around 4:20. Other singers and classicists would consider it blasphemous perhaps... But who cares when you have such elixir in your ears
Yes 4:20 to 6:00 is unbelievable melody and ecstasy
Even after 100 years this song will be enjoyable.
Over and over again with the same blessed feeling taking you Gamakas flowing like ripples on a wave of ectasy to Nada Brahma !
This song is like DRUG
@@rrajan5476 Yes yes. Used to hear every now and then. Still having the feeling of hearing it for the first time.
Saint Thiyaharaja would like this outstanding voice
@@rrajan5476 Not this song....each and every song is more than a drug
Two weeks ago, on October 6, at the West Windsor Plainsboro Middle School, Sri T M Krishna sang this kriti beautifully in a grand 3 ½ hour concert. Then two days ago, at the same venue, Sri Surya Prakash, whose sangeetha acharya, Sangeetha Kalanidhi Sri T V Shankara Narayanan was Sri MMI’s shishya, also sang the same kriti. And today, when I came across this video and listened to it again, perhaps for the twentieth time, and read all the nice commentaries written here by rasikas using superlatives and glowing words of praise, I thought of the great vocalist MMI, and wondered what exactly is it that captivates rasikas’ minds whenever they hear Sri MMI. In addition to his unique style, and smooth, effortless flow of his music, to those with a fine, pristine sense of sruthi, his singing stood out. Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman wrote in his autobiography that there was only one other vocalist who had sruti shuddha comparable to that of MMI : Sri M D Ramanathan. They say that for musicians, Shruthi is maatha and Laya is Pitha. But for Sangeetha Kalanidhi, Ganakaladhara (this title was created just for him, and has not been awarded to anyone else since) Madurai Mani Iyer, Shruthi was not just maatha, but Pitha, too! He was a true naadopaasaka. My sangeetha acharya, Sri T N Bala, when he was about 10 years old, learnt Carnatic music from Sri MMI for many years. During my classes, when he reminisced about his beloved guru, occasionally he burst into tears; he revered his teacher as if he were a singing Deva from Narada loka. When I go to Chennai during Music season, if I mention casually to rasikas sitting near me at the sabhas, that my teacher was a Sri MMI shishya, their eyes always widened with awe: the name MMI is awe inspining! It is almost 50 years since Sri MMI passed away, but the rasikas adore him to this day. Many rasikas think that this kriti, in particular, is one of his most memorable and captivating recordings.

I am very delighted to read through your comments.. I am 35 years old and zero knowledge in sangeetham. I had heard MMI's song through my father. I always feel something special with his voice and the way he sing, which u mentioned effortless. Now, I do listen this song and other MMI's collections at least once in a day.
I will restrict myself to stating that however pleasing TMK’s recitals may be (I have not heard it personally nor will I), I would not bracket him with MMI or RS, who are both respectful of tradition and parampara and maintain, nay, uplift, the dignity of Carnatic music by their demeanour. The ability of Carnatic music to bring the listener closer to divinity depends on the purity of the performer. Regretfully, TMKs track record points south
Yesh Prabhu v
Yesh - thank you for your nice post. MMI is one of my favorites and yes I remember Sri T N Bala and his reverence for MMI
MMI and this song in particular got me believing tyagaraja and indeed Carnatic could sound good! Else I was converting to Hindustani from rock
Sadhguru brought me here when HE mentions in a conversation with Pt. Jasraj..... Tears flowing
Am an ardent Fan of SRI MADURAI MANI IYER right from the age of FIVE and used to attend his concerts used to extend up to 00:00 hrs.
Mani Iyer's swaras are even numbered clusters than odd ones like 3,5,7 that all of us are used to in the Carnatic lore. That's what makes it genius!
Can you elaborate on this
@@adityab2846 if you look at his kalpanaswarams it’s all in sequence of 2,4,6,8 rather than 3,5,7. It’s hard to make it sound good, as it just seems repetitive to the listener. Only he could do it and still make it sound beautiful.
@@gskksk do you mean sa re ga ma as opposed to just three day sa re ma?
@@ramanvk5523 No sir.
Usually old number of swarms are laid on the even beat of the thaalam like 3's, 5's n so on. He sings even numbers which is extremely unique to his style of singing.
@Aditya B it means like for example in kalpanaswarams (swarakalpana),
Sa Sa Ri Ri Ga Ga Ma Ma Ri, Pa Da Ni Ni Sa are even swaras.
Sa Ri Ga Ri Ga Ma Ga Ma Pa Pa Da Ni are odd swaras.
In even swaras the note/swaram get repeated twice like sa sa ri ri etc
in odd swaras it is more like mathematical calculation like sa ri ga ri ga ma etc
T N Krishnan on the Violin and Vellore Ramabhadran on the Mridangam.... simply divine
Really they spiced the song to next level and sometimes you can sense all three singing this song
flow of a natural genius, no parallel to my knowledge. Thank God to have given me this opportunity to hear this legend
As ever before,,,superb with a
melodious,,, captivating devine music
Uniquely,,the vibration of the
strings as that of Legends T Chowdiah,,Dwaram ,,Malaai

The music flows, even more smoothly than water, when the master musician Madurai mani is performing. Our mamas karmas to him and his genius
i have this on cassette i bought in the music store in mylapore in 1984, and have always loved it....i had no idea then who he was, but i relied on the opinion of the shop owner, i knew i loved carnatic music, and madurai meenakshi kovil, and the serene expression on the face of MMI...

How beautiful
,,👍🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely magical
Sheer genius !!!
ஆஹா ஆஹா ஆனந்தம்
Cauvery flowing with full force after the gates are opened.
a masterpeace of sri madurai mani. Srivanjiyam mani iyer used to sing like sri mm. Once Sri MM met srivanjiyam out of curiosity.
This raga Kapinarayani has the distinction of being sung by Madurai Mani Iyer in his unique style upteen times with such a grace, dared by other musicians after his demise. What a soulful singing. From earth to heaven his path is extended, which I doubt anybody has coveted honour.
Even if you listen to this song 1000 times rendered by MMI you will still end listening again. Saint Thiyaharaja would have loved this voice for his Kirtanai on Lord Rama
IT IS IMMORTALISED
Super
Thanks
I don't no carnatic music. My mother and uncle ear these like songs very much. Sang by very big person like madurai mani iyer. These songs r wonderful medicine for all people....
What a mridangam following great master vid. Sri Vellur Ramabhadran sir, this is anandamaya.
The Legend
Magnificent
So Blissful and Divine.
Beyond this I am unable to express my feelings in words.
Violin and mridangam accompaniments extraordinary brilliance.
masterpiece from the genius thanks a million for uploading

Superb by MMi Mama ! Sarasa Sama Daana Ragam-Kapi Narayani (28 HariKhamboji janyam) Talam: Deshadi Composer: Tyagaraja Swamigal
Madurai Mani Iyer Popularised this song !
In this kruti Tyagaraja expounds Rama's political wisdom and sagacity.He says that the four fundamental methods of dealing with an enemy are very well known to Rama.
P sarasa sAma dAna bhEda daNDa catura
sATi daivam(e)varE brOvavE
Who is the other God comparable to Rama? He was proficient in negotiating for conciliation. He was crafty in dividing the enemies. He severely punished the enemy. Oh Rama,please save me.
AP parama SAmbhav(A)grEsaruND(a)gucu2
palku rAvaNuDu teliya lEka pOye (sarasa)
Ravana boasted that he was the supreme among all the Siva's devotees. He never realised the greatness of Rama.

satamugAn(a)yOdhyan(i)ttun(a)NTivi
nata sahOdaruni rAju cEsi rAka

Oh Rama,you gave friendly advice to Ravana. You even offered to gift away Ayodhya to him. You crowned Vibheeshana as the king of Lanka. You annihilated Ravana. Tyagaraja worships you.
Gist :-
Oh Rama! You are the One who knows how to use the saama, daana, bEdha and danDa methods at the appropriate time. No one can be compared to you. Please help me. RaavaNa, the most devoted bhaktha (devotee) of Lord Shiva, could not understand this truth. You sent many calming words to him through your messenger. You even granted Ayodhya to RaavaNa. Finally, you conquered him and made his brother Vibheeshana the king of Lanka.

This is a janya ragam of Harikhamboji. The most popular song in this ragam is Sarasa Sama Dhana of Thyagaraja Swamigal. It is said that it was Madurai Mani Iyer who was responsible for the popularity of this song.
Clearly stands out from the crowd, doesn't he?.....what a genius!
Very nice singer with peculiar voice and style of singing. We miss him.
The 25 people who thumbed down only proove by doing so that they have never experienced bliss and never will
May be they have unknowingly touched the icon
