This is followed by Jathiswaram. The abhinayam is introduced in Shabdam which often narrates a brief story or episodes from Bhagavatam or Ramayana.

The latter half has a Bhajan / Ashtapadi/ Annamacharya or Tyagaraja kriti. After this comes a Padam or Javali. The performance is concluded with a Thillana followed by an auspicious mangalam.
