This is part of the title music.
Pramila's younger sister sings this traditional Thiruvarutpaa by Ramalinga adikaL in the temple.
The audio track in the DVD jumps over 2 lines.

S.V.Subbiah asks her to sing. "manasu kashtamaa irukkumpOthu pAduviyE. oru pAsuram pAdummA"
seems like the last 2 lines of Arunagirinathar's Thiruppukazh.

When Pramila comes home from Hyderabad for Jayasuda's wedding, the whole house is brimming with joy and happiness; she is the one who lost her innocenseand happiness; now deeply immersed in guilt and sorrow. Her sister is studying alone in a room. Pramila is watching over a picture of Lord Shiva,she asks her sister to sing a paasuram."appA manasu kashtamA irukkumpOthellam pada solvArE; ippO oru pasuram pAduviyA?"
That's Pramila's sobbing in the background.When she is singing Pramila just breaks down lying in her lap.

sri mAthA sri mahAyAnjE - slokam
http://as01.coolgoose.com/go/song?id=62437
When the truth about Pramila's profession is blown out, Kamal pushes and throws her out of the house. Senthamarai (Sivakumar's father) comes to her rescue and picks up a fight with Kamal.The younger sister to calm things down, sings this slokam in front of Devi's picture with Pramila and Senthamarai leaving in the background. The camera moves on and captures everyone's emotions.

When seeing this movie you can feel the essence of these verses. so emotionally packed in different situations.

very well sung by T.V.Rathnam. (I can't imagine it is the same TVR who sang "aaLai aaLai paarkkiRaar " in Raththak kanneer.)
Kudos to KB and V.Kumar!

Sathya Kabali tonnes of thanks for the mounathil viLaiyaadum manasaatchiye. This is one of my top fav songs in MSV-Kavignar-KB combo. Excellent lines, wonderful singing. Thanks again.

One more request. Do you have the thogaiyar piece of 'kaadhal siragai kaatrinil virithu'?

Sathya Kabali,

Thank you for these couplets- My search of many years has ended at last- Thanks to you! I just listened to them right now--and reading your lucid descriptions-- kaatchigalum kann mun arangeruvathuppol irundhadhu! Thanks again for taking the time and trouble!

RR- sorry it should be 'Megangal irundu vandhaal'. In fact, the song starts with a stirring thogayara by the inimitable Seergazhi:

Odi vandhu meetpatharkku
unnmaikko kaalgal illai
Oindhirundhu kettppatharkku
neethikko neramillai
paartha nilai solvatharkku
Paramanukko uruvamillai
pazhi sumandhu selvathindri
ivanukko paathai illai--

Then the pallavi starts:

Megangal irundu vandhaal
adhai mazhaiyenakkolvathundu
manithargal thirundhi vandhaal
adhai pizhaiyena kolvathundo?

A moving song--and among my all-time favourites!

Naaz: Good choice of reminiscences again!

Saravanan: I will not contest your choice in Naan Aanaiyittaal. Probably teh least heard but the most moving piece. In fact, after seeing your posting yesterday I went back and listened to the song and came prepared with the four lines in
the "Thogaiyara" but you beat me to it. Also, thanks for reminding it is penned by Aalangudi Somu. He has also written Piranda Idam Thedi.
Is there a thread on Aalangudi Somu in TFM?
By the way, the song"Kodukka Kodukka" by PS is written apparently by V. lakshmanan. Have you heard of this lyricist? Other songs in Naan Aanaiyittaal: Nalla Velai Naan.., Thai Mel AAnai,
Naan Uyara Uyara...

RR: Vidwan V Lakshmanan is a famed astrologer who is more popularly known as 'Balajosiyar' Lakshmanan. He was a great friend of the late Manian, along with whom he produced MGR films like Idhaya Veenai & Pallaandu Vaazhga. He was also among those who were considered to be in MGR’s coterie.

He wrote lyrics for some good songs- The two songs sung by Panigrahi in Aval Yaar-1959: ‘Naan thedum pothu’ and ‘Kann kaanum minnal thaano’ were perhaps the first songs he wrote. He was the lyricist for all the songs in S Balachandar’s Bommai-1964.
‘Amma endraal paal tharuvaal’- Karpooram-1967, ‘Manam oru kurangu’ and ‘Aruppokkottai machchaan’- both Manam Oru Kurangu-also 1967 are other songs by V Lakshmanan that I recall.

There was this song I remembered:

vaazvil sowbhakyam vandhadhu
vandhEn endradhu
thEn thandhEn endradhu

Was it from thoondil meen and music by V. Kumar?

[Oldposts]

Yes.. it is from Thoondil meen.. Not sure if it is by V.Kumar.

I vaguely remember that the MD was viyajabaskar
