National Anthem - Kannada Notation

Was in a mood to learn and play National Anthem on my violin, but could not find a proper Kannada notation for the Sahitya and Carnatic style swarms.

Went ahead and typed the same, and sharing here for the benefit of others. Please comment on any mistakes and corrections needed.

4. His creative work also found a place in the concert, which was interesting.
