Narada

Tyagaraja had come under the influence of Saint Narada about whom he acquired a wide knowledge from the palm leaf manuscripts preserved by his grandfather and later from a treatise called 'Svaranava'. His compositions: "Narada Guru Swami" in Darbar, "Sri Narada" in Kanada, and "Vara Narada" in VijayaSri extolling Narada are his tributes to the Saint.

Pancharanga

In his ‘Sarivadelina Kaverini’ (raga Asaveri), Tyagaraja says the river, after seeing Lord Ranganatha, has come to Tiruvaiyaru. There are plenty of places along the route, where it branches into two and joins again, thereby forming islands. Each of these is a rangam and sports a temple for Lord Vishnu as Ranganatha. Five of these make the Pancharanga Kshetras.
