Toonilum turumbilum

Sarasvati

Ādi (Tishra & Khaṇḍa gati)

Pallavi and Anupallavi are in Tishra Gati and Charanam is in Khanda Gati. The song refers to the omnipresent – be it in the mighty pillar or in the microcosmic – Lord Vishnu incarnating himself as a completely unarmed Narasimha (without mentioning either name) and yet vanquishing the arrogance of the demon Hiranyakashipu. The symbolism of this piece, composed on 21 Mar, 2020 is of the Coronavirus Covid 19 manifesting itself in a microcosmic, unarmed form and yet effortlessly vanquishing the arrogance of the human species.
