Sabapathikku Veru Deivam - Raga Abogi

This tamil song, written by Shri. Gopala Krishna Barathi, was a contemporary of Shri. Thyagaraja Swamigal. The song has a nice history behind it. One fine morning, Shri. Barathi visited Thiruvayyaru and paid respects to Shri. Thyagaraja Swamigal. During the conversation, Shri. Thyaragaja queried whether he had written any kriti , set to Abogi raga. Before a great saint, Shri. Gopalakrishna Barathi felt sad that he did not think about that raga all along. He replied saying that I will just take a snana and come back to see you again. By the time, he finished his snana, the song was ready !

Lyrics :

Pallavi :

Sabhapathikku veru Deivam samanamaguma

Thillai Sabhapathikku veru Deivam samanamaguma

Anupallavi:

krupanidhi ivaraippola kidaikkumo indha tarani thanil

Charanam :

Oru tharam Shivachidambaram endru uraithal podume

Paragathikku veru punniyam panna venduma

Ariya pulaiyar muvar padham adaindhar endre puranam arindhu sollakkettom Gopalakrishnan padum

Thillai Sabapathikku veru Deivam samanamaguma
