I have observed that in many kutcheri's (this season) pallavi lines of RTP seem to be of lord muruga's. Can somebody throw some light on this? Is it just a coincidence or is there a base (like some literary works) that people regularly draw from ?

A related question is that lot of compositions of lord muruga seem to be in shanumkhapriya. Any light on this also would be appreciated
