A couple of corrections which were not mentioned earlier::
In {c 2] line 2,the words are *ciduku cEShTalalenE*


Come on,chinnA Oh my lad,the little one,come to caress,come bAlakriShna,come, come.[p]

To tickle the cowherd girls,looking at them with a downward glance,tempting,enchanting their crowd,

to bring a festive feel, delightful one, come[c1]

Murmuring in secrecy in the bush,plundering the lovely teethed shy maidens

crushing mischievously in embrace, letting them taste the nectar of lips,artful one,come[c2]

In a pretty way,melting the maiden's[hearts],soothing them, appearing in their embrace,

having met the gem among women, lakshumamma,you became the Lord of Sri vEnkaTAdri,come[c3]

Savithri- Thank U so very much !!! What a lovely song with so much hidden meaning.

Is it true that Annamacharya used more of Sringaara Rasa in his compositions ??

I am sure TTD/ Music Departments in Andhra Predesh would have initiated detailed research work on his voluminous compositions( 32,000 or so ) ??

Even in Chennai, i am sure many Doctorate Thesis must have churned out in analysing his compositions parallel to Dr V Raghavan's Saint Thyagaraja's compositions publ. in Spiritual Heritage of Thyagaraja ( Sri Ramalrishna Mutt).

I request rasikas to provide URLs. Many thanks in advance.

You can get more information about the works of Sri Annamacaryaru in this link. Yes, he seems to have written more songs in Sringara rasa.Some songs are there with both Bhakti and Sringara rasas.

[rshankar]

Sri Annamacharya has indeed composed padams brimming with SRngAra; he is considered one of the three famous composers of 'erotic poetry' as it were, the others being Sri SArangapANi and Sri KshEtrayyA. Of the three, Annamayya's poetry described the love between his lord of the seven hills and his beloved, the taruNi, alamElu mangA, and hence, he is considered the temple poet, while SArangapANi's lyrics were set in a courtesan's bedroom, and KshEtrayyA's refined poetry put him somewhere in between these two.
