Act One : sämoda dämodaraù
The Delighted Captive of Love
Scene Two
Song 2
The musical mode is gurjaré räga and the rhythm is niùsära täla. Gurjaré räga: The personification of this räga resembles the çyämä heroine. Her body is warm in the cold season and cool in the hot season. Her breasts are extremely firm and her hair is captiv ating. Simply by the touch of her feet, the açoka tree blossoms out of season. She arrives at a bed that is decorated with soft buds of the best sandalwood trees. Being from the south, she assumes semitones between the scale degrees. The rhythm is niùsära täla with two druta beats and two laghu beats. |
