Lyrics of the song Saraseeruha Sana Priye

My mom learnt Carnatic Music for some months from Shri. Palladam Venkataramana Rao when we were in Erode. He was a maestro in Harmonium. Loved the tunes it bought out when he taught along with it. One of the songs my mom learnt from him is a song on Lordess Saraswathi, which I leant it just by hearing. For a long time, I have been thinking that this song was composed by Shri. Thyagarajar later I leant that it was composed by Shri Puliyoor Shree Duraiswami Aiyyar. The song is set to tune in Naattai and is to be sung with Aadi Thaalam. 

I am sharing lyrics in English. Will share the lyrics in Tamil soon.

Raagam - Naattai
Thaalam - Aadi

Composed by Puliyoor Shree Duraiswami Ayyar in Sanskrit.

Pallavi:
Saraseeruhaa sana priye Amba
Sadaa veena gaana priye
sadananda hrudaye mahisada ye
saraseeruha sanaa priye amba

Anupallavi:
Sharanaagatham.....
Maamava Manjula Sharana kisalaye
Sharanaagatham
maamava manjula sharana kisalaye
sammohitha kavijana hrudaye
saroja nilaye manivalaye (sara)

Charanam:
saraseeruha kshi yugale amba
sharanaagatha deena vatsale
saradindu sundara vadane vimale
saraswathi amba
saraswathi sadite siganutha gunajaale
saraswathi
satatam vidyaa lole sadaa susheele
saamada kumba stana
yugale dhavale
sakala saamraajya prada kara
drutha pusthaka jaale (sara)
