Jagelara Nannu brochutaku in the raga Hemavathy. This is one of only a few
kritis in Hemavathy. This was beautifully sung by veteran musician Sri. RK Srikantan.

HEMAVATHY-RKS

Narasimha Nannu Brovara. A kriti on Mangalagiri Narasimha Swamy in the raga
(Suitably) bilahari (means Narasimha). He seemed to have been inspired while
having the darsanam on one occasion. Of course, he set it to music later. This
was sung by Sri. TK Govindarao, a prime sishya of Musiri. Sorry, the song is not
complete.
