vasantha bhairavi is a minor raga. a minor raga is one which does not have much scope for elaboration. not necessarily it shud have less no. of swaras. it may contain all the swaras but it is minor because the scope is less.
there is a famous kriti 'nee daya raada' by thyagaraja. there is another dikshitar kriti 'venkateswaram' in this raga. but there are no songs in tfm.
credit goes to ilayaraja for using this 'nee daya raada' as it is, with tamil lyrics ' un dayavillayo' and making ppl like me to take notice of this raga.
see, there may be a song somewhere hidden in the annals of tfm. but tfm can be classified as pre ilayaraja and post ilayaraja period.
the ragas i mention might have been used my some md somewhere. but when it is used by ir, it is brought to the light because of his fans who are critically and analytically strong and who believe whatever he does in music will have a meaning and they try to bring it out.
it is a janya of vagulabharanam, 14th mela.
