Nee Matale Mayanura - Javali

A Javali composed by Sri Pattabhiramayya in Purvi Kalyani ragam. In this song, the Nayika who is eagerly awaiting her partner’s return, sees that he has returned home empty-handed after promising to bring her beautiful gifts. She taunts, “What happened to all your words, oh Swami? Were they written in water? Were they simply castles in the air? Did you decide to come empty-handed because I sent word for you so many times? Was my concern, too much for you to handle? Speak up, oh Swami!”
