purvangam as Sankaraabharanam and the
same uttarangam as Shanmugapriya or Thodi. However, singing the
purvangam portion of Sankaraabharanam and then the uttarangam of
Shanmugapriya or Thodi has very little to do with the true swaroopam
of Chaarukesi. This is like arguing that glueing a lion's head to a
human torso results in the creation of a new being, when all it
really does is create neither a lion nor a human being. The
resulting creature is a poor excuse for a human or a lion and can be
seen only as such. The use of gamakkas is also intricately connected
to the concept of raga swaroopam and even though swaras may be the
same, the gamakkas are often different, leading to ragas that are
quite distinct in character. |
