Dear Prof. MSK,

Thanks for the long list of songs in Sivaranjani. I do not know the Carnatic Sivaranjani, which is said to be a derivative of the

rAgam VAchaspathi! We also have the same notes as in the North Indian classical music. There is Misra Sivaranjani, which has

Ga (major) and Dha (minor) added to the original notes. Sri. Santhanam's thillAnA is set to that rAgam.

Regards........
