Well, the Tanjore Quartette brothers have composed a unique set of five and nine kautuvams called the pancamUrti and navasandhi kautuvams. The former includes vinAyaka, murugan, sambandar, caNDikEShvarar, and of course, naTarAja; while the latter is actually on brahmA and the eight guardians of the quarters (ashTadikpAlakAs), followed by a few related compositions like gItam, sUlAdi, kaivAra prabandham, TAyam and jati. The lyrics and notations have been made available as a book entitled, "Adi bharata kalA manjarI" edited by the late KP ShivAnandam.
