I think 'Shanmukhapriyanayagan' is by Suddha satvAnandA.

I have just learned that Sudhdha Sathvanandha is another name for Chidambaram. So we are all correct!

Raja,
Thanks for a beautiful review...having grown up listening to GG (she was SG then) and her mother sing at all of the local temple festivals, it makes me feel wonderful to read such reviews. I feel like plagiarizing from Subramanya Bharati and exclaiming, 'mecci unnai UrAr pugazhndAl mEni SilirkkudaDI'!

BTW, GG has been conferred the title sAhitya priyA - a very apt one!
