I happen to remember this video , especially this:

https://youtu.be/CkGRAs6Rqwk?t=475

He is talking about transcending over beats of rUpakam, by one of his early Gurus, a hallmark of the kutcheri presentation in the Ariyakudi format. That is the One-down batsman that gives a fillip, if the opening ones weren't too elaborate!

After stating what he stated, he asks and verifies with someone if they understood it!

So even he, gAna gandhaRvan talks about it!

A bit of philosophy to your philately. Will check it out.
