Here is the notation for the renowned kriti “Vatapi Ganapatim,” a composition by Muthuswami Dikshitar in the raga Hamsadhwani:

Pallavi

$ \text{Sa Ri}_2 \text{Ga}_3 \text{Pa Dha}_2 \text{Sa'} $
$ \text{Sa'} \text{Dha}_2 \text{Pa Ga}_3 \text{Ri}_2 \text{Sa} $

Anupallavi

$ \text{Pa Dha}_2 \text{Sa'} \ \text{Sa'} \ \text{Sa'} $ 
$ \text{Dha}_2 \text{Pa Ga}_3 \text{Ri}_2 \text{Sa} $

Charanam

$ \text{Ga}_3 \text{Ri}_2 \text{Sa Ri}_2 \text{Ga}_3 $ 
$ \text{Pa Dha}_2 \text{Sa'} \ \text{Sa'} \ \text{Sa'} $ 
$ \text{Dha}_2 \text{Pa Ga}_3 \text{Ri}_2 \text{Sa} $

This kriti is dedicated to Lord Ganesha and is a staple in Carnatic music performances.
