Sri vEnkaTESam bhajAmi satatam - Kalyanavasantham

[uscasdrs]

I am looking for the lyrics and the composer of the krithi Sri vEnkaTESam bhajAmi satatam in Kalyanavasantham. It was part of the concert of Neela Ramagopal that was made available recently. See http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=13258

As the krithi has the guruguha mudra (and also the ragam name), my initial thought was that it was a composition of Sri. Muthuswamy Dikshitar, but I could not find it the magnum opus of Sri Rangaramanuja Iyenger.

A quick search of the pages of rasikas.org led me to http://www.medieval.org/music/world/car ... hitar.html where this krithi is listed as being misattributed to Sri. Dikshitar. However, there is no further information at that site.

Thanks.

The song is by Ambi Dikshitar who was a grandson of Muttusvami Dikshitar. He too used the guruguha mudra.
Here are the lyrics.

Lji,
The composer is JC WodeyAr . There was a discussion in the sangeetham.com forum by DRS in the submerged JC wodeyar thread. I think keerthi also mentioned somewhere too in this forum.

Ambi Dikshitar also used Guruguha for mudra, but did he also have raga mudra is his kritis just like M.Dikshitar?
Harini.
