The rasikas.org link is incorrect. It points to a discussion of the Devagandhari kriti Swamiki Sari.

Meena Thank U so much for educating abt this composer.

The valaci(ji) song sung by DKJ captivates the listener.

I might have heard for atleast 100 times and now I have almost mastered the song overnight!

I read the rasikas.org link abt Srivatsa's compositions.
I am yet to read the articles provided by your second link.

Many more complements to U will be due once I read these articles!!!
