Hi, there was one more kedaramish song with lines like "mEle viTThala, keLage viTThala, mEle keLage purandara viTThala" ... it was just after gaurI manOharI I think. (And are you sure it was gaurI manOhari? I suspected it was, but I never felt sure.)

I didn't know venkaTAcalanilayam was Purandaradasa's (it's in Sanskrit, so I never suspected it)! I was also surprised to see there was no niraval in the concert.
