prANa nAtha birAna brOvavE is a tyAgarAjA krithi in shUlini.

Was the 3rd krithi sAkshAt madana kOTi saundarya bhAvam of nArAyaNa tIrtha?

Looks like a beautiful atmosphere. Temple concerts are so special!!!

[keerthi]

There are two pAtantara-s of Prananatha birAna.. The Malladi brothers have been trained by Malladi Suri babu and NedanUri; both of whom have got their repertoires largely from Dr.S. Pinakapani.
Rangaramanujayyangar's book gives the notation for Prananatha in Sankarabharanam. As Dr. Pani was closely associated with ayyangAr, I presume he could have passed on the same version to the malladi duo.
The Tillaisthanam school sings it in Soolini.

Thanks for that new and interesting info keerthi!

Was the 3rd krithi sAkshAt madana kOTi saundarya bhAvam of nArAyaNa tIrtha?

In case it was, this kriti is also sung in Ahiri right? I've heard Sri T.N.Seshagopalan render it in that rAga.
