sarasvathi nannepudu in Kalyani

[saarangam]

The composer of this krithi is mentioned as vINai kuppayyar in some websites and thiruvottiyur thyagayyar in some other sites.The charanam of the composition contains the mudra gOpAladAsa. I would like to know who is the composer of this krithi.

[Lakshman]

It is by Tiruvettiyur Tyagyya. (ref: Kirtana Sagaram by P.Sambamurti, Book 1/page 36).

[saarangam]

Thank you Lakshmanji. I think thiruvottiyur thyagayyar had also adopted the mudra gOpAladAsa.

[Lakshman]

That is correct (like Kottavasal Venkatarama Iyer and Patnam who both used Venkatesha as their mudra).
