Swarajathis are pleasing melodies and more sophisticated than Geeethams. These are songs are very popular with early learners and children as they are very lively in their rendition. They have a Pallavi and a few Charanams. The Charanams are generally rendered once as Swaras and the second time as lyrics. Some Swarajatis also have an Anupallavi incorporated in them. Many Swarajatis like the sublimely devotional of Shyama Shastri are concert worthy.  Samba Shiva is a very popular Swarajathi in Raga Kamach or Kamas set to Adi Tala, a composition of Chinna Krishna Dasar. The poet asks us to pray to Lord Shiva, who resides in the silver mountains, the snow-clad Himalayas. Pray, “You are my guru and God. I meditate on you at all times. I never forget that you are the treasure of compassion”
