Sankarabaranam

Post by kvchellappa »

Read the following in "Studies in Comparative Philosophy and Aesthetics: An Overview" by Sri G Hanumantha Rao:
"Sankarabharanam which has a place of eminence in SouthIndia appears for the first time as the fourth son of Natanarayana in Purandara Vittala’s (1498-1576) classification. Its parentage is changed by Narada (1525-1550); it figures as the fourth son of Vasantha. In some Ragavibodha (1609) it becomes janyaraga of Mallari. It attains the status of a father in Venkatamakhi’s chaturdandiprasika (1660). It becomes ninth son of Dedra in Bhavabhatta’s Anupa Sangitaratnakara (1674-1701). It takes a seventh place as a father raga in Sangitha Saramrtoddhara (1763-87). V.N.Bhatkade (1921) gives it the last place as a janyaraga under Velavali."
