Thilanas

---

The   thillānā   is a short and crisp composition.The most important feature of this form is the presence of   jatis   for the most part and few sāhitya syllables which occur in the first half of the  caranam. Compared to sāhitya, the rhythmic syllables can be enjoyed more in this form. The presence of   jatis   is probably the reason for the popularity of this form.   Jatis   are always attractive and the brisk passages of   jatis   along with swara and sāhitya syllables have a quick appeal to the mind of the listener. In addition to this, the music which accompanies the sāhitya also has a direct appeal if it is appropriate.
