Pancharatna Kriti
Composition
The Pancharatna kritis were written in
praise of the Hindu deity Rama. They are
set to Adi Tala and each raga represents
the mood of the song and the meaning of
its lyrics. All the kritis were composed in
the style of a Ragam Tanam Pallavi (RTP)
with the charanams (stanzas) substituting
for the kalpana swaras (improvisatory
passages) in the pallavi section of the RTP.
Lyrical synopsis
Jagadānanda kārakā …
Sādhinchane ō manasā …
This Pancharatna Kriti was composed in
Telugu and has been set to Arabhi raga. It
is written in a playful tone, rich with
metaphor and simile without a surfeit of
adjectives - all the while arresting the
attention of the singers. In this kriti,
Tyagaraja sings the greatness of the lord
Krishna in a lucid manner. The style
adopted in this kriti is very sweet in
comparison with the other four.

world.
