(Public hail Rama as crown prince... )
Ramanukku Mannan Mudi Thariththaaley

Nanmai undorukkaaley
Because the king crowned Rama ,

There are lot of benefits for us
Paamaraney unakku ennadi pechu

Pazham nazhuvi paalil vizhundaarpol aachey
Hey ordinary one what is the need for your talk,

It is as if the banana fruit slipped and fell in side the milk.
Parasuraman garvam theerthavandi avan

Nammai ellam kaappavandee
Pattam Katta Etravandi naalu peril
Moothavandi avandee en kanmani...
He is the one who destroyed pride of Parasurama,

He would definitely protect all of us, dear ,
He is the most suitable to be crowned among the four ,
That darling is the eldest among all of them.

'maamavathu sree saraswathi' is a song composed by Mysore Vasudevacharya set on raaga Hindolam and
talam Adi.
Hindolam raaga : Its equivalent in the Hindustani system is called Malkhauns. There are many ragas which are
common to both systems of music. The names differ, but the notes are the same.
Hindolam has five notes Sa,Ga2,Ma1,Dha1,Ni2,Sa in arohanam and Sa,Ni2,Dha1,Ma1,Ga2,Sa in avarohanam.
This raga is derived from the 20th Melakarta viz., Nata bhairavi. Since it has five notes both in ascending and
descending it is classified as Audava Audava raga. The power of raaga 'Hindolam' can be felt singing some of
the famous Compositions like Samaja vara gamana by Tyagaraja, Neerajakshi Kamakshi by Muthuswamy
Dikshitar, Mamavatu by Mysore Vasudevacharyar(which is dealt in this post) and Padmanabha pahi by Maharaja
Swati Tirunal.
Mamavathu Saraswathi is a sweet krithi on Goddess Saraswathi set on Hindolam raaga.

Mamavatu lyrics
Saraswati
You who reside in the temple of Kamakoti
Rescue me
Bearing lotus and veena

In your beautiful hands
You give truth to speech
Your feet are worshipped by Emperors and Kings
Your eyes are as wild as Rajiva flowers
And your beauty bewitches
Garlanded with gems

You fulfill the desires of the good
Indra himself bown down before you
I, Vasudeva, am your servant
For you are the divine word in its essence
