aruththi vAzhvodu - 048 - 058

 

Song 048 – 058 – aruththi vAzhvodu – thALam explanation

chanDam :

thana-ththa (2 + 2) thA-nana (2 + 2) thana-thana (2 + 2) thana-thana (2 + 2) thana-thAna (2 + 3)

thALam :

= 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5

Guruji adjusted the chanDam as

= 4 (- 1) + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 (+ 1)

= 21 aksharam in viLamba kAlam

= 1.5 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3

= 10.5 aksharam in maDhyama kAlam

= thakita + thaka-Dhimi + thaka-Dhimi + thaka-Dhimi + thaka-Dhimi-thaka

Suggested thALam :

Guruji suggests to put the thALam as ‘misra jhambai’,

with 1.5 (instead of 1) aksharam, for the first ‘adi’ (‘clap’).

With the above adjustment,

‘misra jhamBai’ will become 7.5 + 1 + 2

Alternate thALam :

anga thALam of  ‘misra chAppu’ (1.5 + 2 = 3.5)

+ ‘chathusra jhambai’ (4 + 1 + 2 = 7)

would also be suitable for this song
