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.
