Composers of these dance songs?

These are dance pieces. I can't seem to find any info on the composers. Apologize if I got some of the names wrong.

kannan varu kaanane - ragamalikai (I believe DKP has sung this)
bhajanavirathoham (invocation) - hamsadhwani
seetha ramara sundara carite (pv) - kalyanavasantham, adi
vadivelane nee varuvaiye (pv) - sriranjani (abhogi?), adi
saama gaana priye (pv) - hindolam, adi

kaNNan vara kANEnE is by Trivandrum Ayya. About others I have no idea.

Lakshman,
Yes, indeed. Uncle Ayya (my mother's cousin) --another composer in the family.

Umesh,
Did not know that this song was popular in the dance circuit.

arasi: Is that his full name?

Yes. he was a rasikA supreme, besides. Musicians who performed in Tiruvanantapuram in those days were always happy to find him in the audience. As youngsters, we all admired him. The two cousins, VVS and him, were sources of inspiration...

It is a beautiful song. Arasi, I found the dance version online... will post the link when I get home.

Both DKP and Nityasree have sung it. Nityasree's version is available on musicindiaonline.

Thank you Umesh.
Actually, there are two comopsitions of Trivandrum Aiyya here on this link. The other one is Ayar kula siruvan.
As Lakshman says, it is kaNNan varak kANEnE (the singer sings it here as kANanE).

The rAga bhAvam is somewhat smudged here. Would anyone have DKP or Nityashri's version from a non-commercial source?
