Dear Mani Sir,

Thanks for your nice hear felt views on IR and Idhayam Oru Kovil Song. I very strongly agree with all your views as its one of my favourite IR's compositions.

Couple of quick comments:

1) On the following line, don't you think there was a little mistake on the way it was rendered (both SPB and IR); causing confusion to listeners and not conveying the intended meaning? May be I am missing something or interpretting it wrong; correct me.

enadhu paadhai vaeru unadhu paadhai vaerammaa

Its sung like this:
enadhu paadhai; vaeru unadhu; paadhai vaerammaa;

Don't you think it should have been sung like this:
enadhu paadhai vaeru; unadhu paadhai vaerammaa'

May be he could not accomodate this way with the sandham and is forced to do it the other way (I mean the way its in the recorded version).

2) Is there a line like : Vazhum Thayagarajaree (impling that he is the living Thayagarajar) on the IR version. I defintely remember hearing something like this. Or it it from a different song?

P.S. IMHO, he is one of the closest to Thayagarajar. No offense meant.
