Sanskrit Carnatic Saptaratna Krithi (Raga Kiravani) - "Bala Sarasa Mural...





UthukkAdu Venkatasubbayyar,
also known as Venkata Kavi, for whom the Lord Himself was the mAnasIka guru, has many firsts to his
credit like the Navavarana and the Saptaratna kritis.
 He initiated the idea of composing thematic compositions like the Avarana kritis. This was followed by
Muthuswami Dikshitar and Swati Tirunal. 
His Saptaratna
kritis
may have inspired Tyagaraja to sing the Pancharatna kritis.
