The word ‘serendipity’ was derived from this word. lankA is considered an ‘island of fortune’ and described in many Persian Folk Tales, including ‘The Three Princes of Serendip’ – Source – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Princes_of_Serendip __Charanam__ : __tyAgarAjuni hRdayamuna__ – This is how it is given in the book of TSV/AKG. However, in the books of TKG and CR, it is given as __tyAgarAja nuta rAma__. In the book of CR, the meaning derived is ‘in the heart of this tyAgarAja’. __General__ : – This kRti brings to mind the kIrtana of aruNAcala kavirAyar – ‘En2 paLLi koNDIrayya’.
