Are there many kruthis in SriRaagam? By Thyagaraja?
May not be.
Apart from the well known Pancharathna kruthi,
this may be the only other kruthi.
The greatness is in every aspect.
Great lyrics, great raagam, great rendering.
Still subtly different from entharo mahaanu..

I agree, 'nAma kusuma' is one of the great meditative compositions of Tyagaraja that we are fortunate to have inherited.

yuktamu kAdu (gAdu) is the only kriti in Sri ragam by Thyagaraja other than this and the well-known pancharatnam. Here is one good rendition by Raji Gopalakrishnan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs-J843RqtM

.amrita murali does a great rendition here, though with some frills. Guided by her guru sriramkumar.
The best however is by BVR/BVL.
just 3 mins.
The lyrics are a class by themselves.
Thanks to Govindan Sir.

O Lord SrI rAma! O Lord who is kind towards devotees! O Redeemer of those fallen!
It is not appropriate for You to remain without protecting me.
You being the Lord having the three powers (of projection, sustenance and in-folding), it is not appropriate for You to remain without protecting me.
Has Your attribute, of subduing one’s previous wrong-doings, become ineffective in this World?,
did Your fame, that ‘Having said, He will not falter’, say that ‘I am not good enough’?,did Your grace say that ‘I will not come to protect Your devotees who are not familiar'?,have all Your powers been expended towards devotees who appeared earlier?
did sItA, who is always by Your side, tell ‘do not speak (to him)'?
did lakshmaNa tell very angrily, ‘what concern is it to You’?
did bharata charmingly fill his eyes with tears of joy (looking at which You forgot about me)?
did AnjanEya hold Your holy feet swearing that ‘don’t do it’?
did brahmA utter a lie that ‘His devotion is not good enough’?
did sarasvati utter many a words that ‘it is not possible for me (to vouch for him)’?
did this tyAgarAja forget to seat You in his heart? or,
did Your sister, (Mother) dharma samvardhani, tell ‘don’t go to join him’?
Please let me know...


Is it possible for anyone not steeped in the foremost ithihasa of this holy land to
hear this kruthi saahithyam with full understanding?

SSI has sung this composition many a time. He typically sings this when he does the gana pancha ragams at the start of a concert. I have heard MDR sing his too in his inimitable style.
There are three concerts SSI has sung it that I have in my blog.
