Both belong to Harikambodhi mela.
I believe Kapinaryani allows nishadam, while Prathapavarali doesn't include Ni.

sruthi- Thank U.
While hearing MMI's rendition of "vinanA sakhuni" in prathApa varAli , esp in swara prastharams i heard the traces of kApi nArayani. That's how this question cropped up !

What a great artist was MMI, he made kApi nArayani so memorable with his swarprastharams in sarasa sAmadana.

I also feel the prathapa varali song he only might have ventured and made it popular.

This song is not heard often.
