Besides that near-exhaustive list of SrI.Ashok MAdhav, there is a lovely composition, 'GAna-rasa-murti tyagaraju patalu taeneTa taeTalu' in kEdAragauLa by sangeetha kalanidhi rallapalli anantakrishna sharma.. It was greatly appreciated by his contemporary and guru, BiDAram kriShNappa of mysore, who would insist that Sharma sing it in every ThyAgaraja Aradhana..

How about "Enna Punniyam" in Reethigowlai? OVK composed it in praise of a guru. I think that would qualify.

Mysore Vasudevachar has composed songs in praise of the trinity.

AsIdvipravaraha kascit shyAmA shAstIti-Ragamalika
AsIdvipravaraha kascit muttusvAmi dIkSitaha-Ragamalika
shrI rAmacandra padAbjE-Ragamalika

Sreeni Rajarao · Post by **Sreeni Rajarao** » 06 Sep 2009, 22:08

Lakshmanji,

In your last posting, do you mean srImadAdi tyAgarAja guruvaram in kalyANi ?

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 06 Sep 2009, 23:22

I was thinking of this song:

shrI vAsudEvam guruvaram. rAgA: kalyANi. m/jhampa tALA.

P: shrI vAsudEvam guruvaram bhajEham
A: shrI tyAgarAjAdi gurupAda padma bhUSaNam
C: sarvam shatam bhUtam bhArgavOttamam
sangIta sAhitya rAgana sAdhana tatparam sadA
(madhyamakAla)
rAga tALa bhAva bharita rakSatanata kIrtana kartAram sangIta kalAnidhim

There is, as you mentioned, this song:

shrImadAdi tyAgarAja. rAgA: kalyANi. rUpaka tALA.

P: shrImadAdi tyAgarAja guruvaram namAmyaham
A: bhUmijA ramaNa caraNa kamala bhajana dhurandharam
C: sakala lOka samsEvita sangIta sAhitya sAra bharitasu lalitapada sammELana samshObhita
(madhyamakAlam)
sankIrtana su-racana samupArjita sat-kIrtim sura munivara kAruNya samjAta su-jnAnam

Lakshman sir,

while this song may be printed in books of VasudevAchArya's compositions, since this song is in praise of VasudevAcArya himself; i am quite sure it must have been composed by one of his two Grandsons; most likely, sri KRSNamUrthi..

Thanks keerthi.

I think the deity referred to in the song is the deity paravAsudEva to whom his parents offerred prayers to beget progeny and thence was born vAsudEvAccArya.
