Narayana Tirtha Yati

[vidya]

Narayana Tirtha was a pretrinity composer of high merit and lived sometime between 1600- 1750 (various ranges are assigned) . The only surviving work of his is the Krishna Lila Tarangini, an operatic composition based on a chapter of the Bhagavata.The prosodic and musical excellence and the brevity and simplicity of expression are evident in these compositions. Some of the popular compositions in concert circuits include Krishnam Kalaya Sakhi, PUraya mama kAmam, mAdhava mAmava, Jaya Jaya etc.

A version of Narayana Tirtha Yati's Krishna Lila Tarangini is uploaded here.

There is an English and a Sanskrit version available - (See under the Sahitya Section). Many thanks to Dr.PPN for meticulously typesetting this work over the last two years. The motivation to typeset this is to have an online version that is error-free. So would appreciate any typo alerts.

For more information on the Composer see this and other google links.

Vidya,thanks.
A wealth of information avilable in this site. I bow my head in reverance to Dr. PPN for bringing this out. Thanks once again

[arasi]

In a performance at KGS,TNAGAR ON 28/8,Gayathri Girish, started the programme with a not often heard Dhanyasi padha varnam of poojyasri PapanasamSivan., which she rendered nicely .gobilalitha

[kmrasika]

ShrI PPN Sir: The tarangiNi is an very long-awaited transcription work and lots of praises be to you to bring out this wonderful work to the world. This is the longest play in the Sanskrit language.
As for the varNams are indeed rare and are beautifully composed, very few are composed in Shuddha sAvEri.

Also, aside the tarangiNi, nArAyaNa tIrtha has authored a yakshagaNa nATaka entitled, pArijAta pariNayamu in telugu, (text of which is not readily available) and ShrI varAhapura vEnkaTEShvara stOtram.

Vidya, please suggest a title for the thread for the posts here that are not related to Narayana Titha Yati and which sub-forum it should belong and we will move the relevant posts there, keeping this thread only for Narayana Tirtha Yati.

[rshankar]

VK,

I think Vidya is referring to posts # 9 and 10 - why not add them to http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=952 and revive that thread?

[vidya]

vk and rshankar,
Started a new thread.. Please move relevant posts there. The Pearls thread is about vidwans but this one is about Vaggeyakaras.

[vasanthakokilam]

The posts related to the varnams and their composers have been moved to the thread Vidya created. http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6607 .

[avnipriya]

Thanks for Krishna lila Tarangini.

[S.Janani]

Hello.
I'd like to know about TVserial which had treated Sri Narayana Tirtha's story by Durdarshan in 1971.
I think Sri K.J.Yesudas sang as play back singer.
Anybody who knows about it?

[avnipriya]

I appreciate his work through Indian classical dance.
I do love his great composition "Shri Krishna Lila Tarangini".
