And rightly as referenced, the poet (Narada), after shedding the mortal coil, did reappear as Venkata Kavi in the same place, and on the Lord’s behest composed the evergreen majestic Thillana in GambheeraNattai, wo match the rhythmic steps of the Lord. In Venkata Kavi’s first song “Aadathu Ashangathu Va”, the opening lines of the Charanam state that The dance of the small feet of the Lord is so melodious that the poet would come again as a rebirth to experience it. The very next song in the opera is “Illai, Illai, Illai Amma” in Mohanam, whre Venkata Kavi visualizes himself as Lord Krishna, and in extreme beauty and innocence pleads to His mother Yashoda, asking her not to believe those complaints. Later, when he tries to push the child from his lap, the child tells that He is the one, whom Venkata Kavi was craving for, all his life, and that the child has come to take the poet to his abode, Vaikuntham.Īnother of Venkata Kavi’s popular songs “Thaye Yashoda” in Thodi, is part of an opera on Lord Krishna, where Venkata Kavi depicts beautifully, the claims and the complaints that the Gopikas place in front of Krishna’s mother, Yashodha. According to legends, it was at this very instant that he was able to feel a child in his lap, and with old age hampering with his eyesight, he could only ask for the whereabouts of the child, to which the child would not reply. The popular song “Alaipayuthe” was sung in the last moments of Venkata Kavi, where one can see an emotional outpour of the disappointment of not getting Krishna’s Darshan all through his life. Similarly, the Charanam of the song has a line “panniru kai iraivan Erumayil onru”, where he mentions Lord Murugan. VandAr AdalinAl shiru yAdavanE oru mAmiyilirakaNi mAdhavanE nI” refers to Lord Shiva Himself coming to the Oothukadu Kalinga Narthana temple to visualize the Dance of The young Krishna. The anupallavi of the song “Adalaik-kANat-tillai ambalattiraivanum tan Adalai viTTu ingE gOkulam This song consists of a lot of literary and musical beauties, and in this song, he gives references even to Shaivite Gods.
Oothukkadu Venkatakavi Specialty in his KrithisĪfter his initiation from Shri Krishna himself, the first song Venkata Kavi composed is the famous “Aadathi Ashangaathu Va Kanna” in the auspicious Madhyamavathi Raga.
