Another Day Another Vast Array

Title: Chala Mela
Ragam: Nattai Kuranji
Talam: Adi
Composer: Mulai Veedu Rangaswamy Nattuvanar

Meaning:

O beautiful Rangayya, why are you spiteful?
Always, I believed your feet to be my destination.
Hearing the elephant cry out, You went fast, killed the
crocodile, got the title 'protector of the elephant', extolled by
celestial beings as protector of the fallen, please hear my prayer.
Is it heavy (difficult) for you to protect me?
If you stay put thinking that this is ok, I am not one to leave you.
O lotus eyed, killer of demons, I know nothing else except your thoughts.
I prayed to you thinking you are the Maintainer of the universe. 
Is it proper for you to stay without properly hearing me?
O father of Cupid! Why are you (refusing) to give me the boon?
Is it possible for me to praise you, who, with great compassion, 
gave clothes to Draupadi in the congregation (of Kauravas)? 
Please do not disclose my mistakes in the dream during your reign of Rangapuri.
Please protect me.

This Sucks Kick It (disquiet0536)

Using the Zoom6 XY binaural microphone for the forest ambience and a generic cardiod studio microphone placed upon leaves near the main gate to the anthill. Recorded at about 8:30 am. They do become more active and louder (and aggressive) as the day warms up.
