Yes, but unlike Ganapati does the Srichakra admit this deity ?

As I wrote earlier, Subrahmanya is one of the dvAdaSa upAsakas and also appears in his femainine form-kaumAri in the first cakra-trailokyamohana along wth the other seven mAtrkAs[ brAhmi, maheSvari, kaumAri, vaiShnavi, vArAhi, indrANi, cAmunDA & mahAlakSmi].
Going back to my own query earlier about the mUladhara et al, these cakras are mentioned in the 5th navAvarana krti in bhairavi[ mUlAdi navAdhAra vyAvrtta]. Going back to ganapati and the SrIcakra, i the dhyAna krti in gauLa, he is addressed as "kamalAlaya taTanivAsah" could it mean that he is on the periphery of SrIcakra aka kamalAlaya and not actually within?[ SrI means lotus also in samskrta also the SricakrA is depicted as a ltus and is lauded as the best temple in creation]

IIRC it was listed in this forum long time ago.
1.List of krtis without raga mudra - A few that come to mind are darbar, toDi
2.Ragas in which there is only one krti of Dikshitar

Statistical Analysis of Dikshitar Krithis
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Main sources:

A total of 479 Krithis have been used in this analysis.
Krithis of doubtful authorship, corrupt krithis, etc
have been omitted. The only telugu composition,
a daru " nI sATi daivamuendu" in s'rIra~njani rAgaM, has
been included, even though it is devoid of the signature
"guruguha" (since it appears in Sangita Sampradaya Pradarshini,
as well as in Vina Sundaram Iyer's book,

Thanks PPN for the info.
The ragas that I can immediately think of which have only one krti of Dikshitar( I did not mean ekaika krti ragas but rather eka krti ragas) are:
kumudakriya, sAlakabhairavi, margadeshi , some of the mela ragas like kanakambari, ganasamavarali etc
Also Ragas without raga mudra include :
darbar , todi etc
I guess we have to discount Shankarabharanam as the mudra occurs in sadAsivam upAsmahe iirc

Devaraanji Nste Prdvte also ?
Unlike Ramaswamy D is MD credited with any new raagas ?
Also guruguha mudra appears twice in one of the ragamaalikas.
Nabhomani kriti doesnt have guruguha mudra.
I'm thinking 'Ahantaadi vihitam" in Mhgnptim Vande (Hanumat)-Todi is as close as you can get to Todi mudra. Yadukula K is another debatable one for raga mudra. In this context, is there any kriti where taala mudra might appear, nt just for MD ?

I want the detailed meaning of HArihara puitram [vasantha].
Dikshitar says "Garvidha Dhaksha siksham"
What actually is the relation between Sastha and Dhaksha?
I dont think Dikshithar will use such a reference just like that.
Any one know any detail, story or purana regarding this?

Aravind,
There are several issues w.r.to this krti - other than the garvita daksha shiksham reference.There was a discussion on this in RMIC sometime ago.
Re: garvita daksha shiksham please find the relevant post c&ped from there.Though I still have'nt been able to come across any actual textual reference to this.
-------
In the "Garvita Daksha shiksham", it means one who punished the arrogant Daksha. In Aiyappa's story there is a reference to a Daksha
who offends Aiyappa in the forest when the latter ventures in for tiger milk for his foster mother's illness
-------
Another lyrical issue about this kriti is the controversy of the kshetra allocation of this krti.The icon at Shabari malai does not match the iconography in this krti though there is a reference to Pandya-Kerala.Some opine that this krti is actually in Ariyan kavu or some such place near Madurai.
Again I am not clear about the prasa structure of this krti too.The dvitiyaksara prasas (or etukais) are not so well-formed.
Lastly a musical issue about this krti is that while ramacandram bhAvayAmi (atleast in notation if not rendition) has some chyuta panchama usage this krti does not.
Hope this helps!

I have various versions of Ayyapan's story.But I have not even heared the name of Daksha.
Please, can you explain this part of the story in detail.
[ie Daksha offending ayyappa ]
