Are the such kritis in Sourashra language?
If yes, Is it possible that Thyagaraja Swami composed in the Sourashtra language ? If not, can we conclude that they were the creations of WVRB?
On googling for Sourashtra language, I landed in the page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saurashtra_language
------------------
and the following para.
The earliest available Saurashtra literature that survives to
this date is the Saurashtra translation of the great Sanskrit epic of Ramayana. It was written by
Venkatasoori Swamigal (1800 AD), a Sanskrit
scholar and disciple of
Venkataramana Bhagavathar who lived in Ayyampettai of Thanjavur district.[13]

Let me check up with translations and then revert back.
