Bantu Reeti

This song is a gem in medling of the bhava..... The pallavi starts with a humble request to Lord Rama for a job in his court..... But in the Charanam Tyagaraja himself says that the job has to be given him not to anyone else...

Ragam : Hamsanadam

Talam : Desadi talam


Pallavi : Bantu reeti koluviyavayya rama

Anupallavi : Tunta vinti vani modalaina mada
                   Dula gotti nela gulajeyu nija   ||Bantu ||

Charanam : Romancha manu ghana kanchukamu
                  Rama bhaktudanu mudra billayu
                  Rama nama manu varakhadga midi
                  Rajillunayya tyagarajunike   ||Bantu ||
