The latter one was reported as Tyagaraja vilas where he lived and did all his work.

And we can note the timing of this news release: https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/t ... 512766.ece

All magic seems happening only after 2014 and things improve from then on.

And the author pointedly notes that U.vE.Sa did not want to attribute divinity to poets. What does that mean? Historiography is a modern encumbrance. Is kAlidAsa or kamban any less because we don't know their human history and sometimes we deify them?

Here is a talk on Sri Svaminatha Iyer:

As noted there, he goes to a Jain house where they finished parayaNam of sIvaka cintamaNi. This is in the context of somebody who could not read and understand it and asked Iyer to explain ( pAADam sollutal). Language is indeed music!
