This section - muktayi swaram - does not have any lyrics. In vocal concerts the swaras are sung. Of course on an instrument it is not very different than playing a section that has lyrics.
The carnatic notation for the muktayi swaram:
G , R G R S R , | n S R G R R S n ||
R , n G R N S R | p n S R G , , P ||

G' P' G' R' S' N S' R' | S' N P G R G P N ||
G' R' , S' N P R' S' | , N P G , R S R ||
Here is how it is played:
The first part of the video shows how to play at 2nd speed, followed by a slowed down version that clearly shows the notes and all the gamakas. In addition, there is also a tab of the full song.
The choice for which fingers to use is entirely up to you. I tend to use the first two fingers a lot for sliding and do not use the third finger very much.
All sections of the song:
- Pallavi
- Anu pallavi
- Muktayi swaram
- Charanam, Chittai swaram 1 and 2
- Chittai swaram 3
- Chittai swaram 4
