jagan, thanks; the second one I have not heard.I have learnt the other from Shri PKR who was my guru.

Punarvasu,
I am very much gratified to know that PKR was your Guru.

As far as I know only the Chakravaham composition has notations. Smt Prema Rangarajan learnt it from Sri Nanganallur Ramanathan and sang it in the Jayanthi Concert last year.

It would be a great service if you could clarify whether all the compositions have notations and from whom it can be learnt now. It would be of help to such of those Vidwans and Vidushis who would like to learn and sing them in the forthcoming Jayanthi Concerts

Shri Nanganallur Ramanathan may have them; Smt Seetha Narayanan also had learnt from Shri PKR; She may have them too.
Unfortunately I do not have them. I know of only this kriti in chakravakam and the ragamalika slokam on MahAperiyavA.
He has composed a kriti on Tiger Varadachariar(his guru) in simhendramadhyamam;
One on Saint Thyagaraja in karpoorabharaaNi; one on MounaswAmigaL of Ambattur in rAgam Anandavalli.
