Vachaspathi Arohanam Avarohanam

|| Mangalyam tantunanena mama jeevana hetuna: 
kanthe badhnami subhage twam jeeva sarada satam ||

This is the sloka chanted by the bride groom when the thaali or mangalyasoothra is tied around the bride's neck by the groom during a hindu wedding..  

It means “This is a sacred thread. This is essential for my long life. I tie this around your neck O maiden having many auspicious attributes. May you live happily for a hundred years (with me).”

Here is an audio clip of the above manthra which I played and was recorded for a wedding at Trichur with a bit of tanam towards the end..

02-Achutham Kesavam-A Bhajan on Lord Krishna

Tyagaraja Swami composed a set of songs to sing collectively or as a chorus, as an expression of bhakthi and bhajana tradition. These came to be known as Divya Nama Sankeerthanas. Many of these songs have the theme as Ramayana , but there are also songs on human conduct.  There are around 118 krithis which are set to simple tunes. We find that the tune repeats in every charanam after the Pallavi. So, it can be inferred that every song has a Pallavi followed by several Charanams. This style of composing is generally referred to as Lambaka Style. The simple rhythmic tunes make them ideal for group rendition.
