*A few points which I have not covered earlier.
*He has kept the controversy (admissible proyogams of seeemingly similiar Ragas) @rest by composing kritis in each of them.
*Bhowli-----Bhupalam.
*Kurinji------Navroj
*Aberi----Devagandharam
Again the raga mudra in VenA BERI to be observed.
*In Sringararasa manjari- he has mentioned about 72 melakarthas.
*MD being a vainika himself has mentioned about 22 srutis-i am not clear on this point -Can anyone explain?
* His handling of various Talas were also discussed.Ofcourse the therapeutic effects of Navagraha Kritis narrated.
* He infuses historical features of characters mentioned-
Ranganayakam--- Nayaki--Dinamanikula Bhava Raghava Aradhanam-Lord is worshipped by Rama who has descended from Surya Vamsa.
Sri Mathrubhootham-Vaishvajathi sree veshadharanam-description of Thayumanavar?
*Posture of Kamalambal-Thiruvarur-neither sitting or standing posture-being described as"Vinotha Charane".Some mention of somewhat like Yedukai/Moanai(Tamil) in Sanskrit --I donot understand -someone who attended to my rescue please?
