In the madhyamAvati piece, "muccaTa brahmadulaku", TyAgarAja imagines Lord shiva in a form that is completely different from the usual description we are used to. The Lord, with his white captivating from, bedecked with jewels and rich flower garlands, is seated in an ornamented palanquin, with royal paraphernalia, carried by men of celestial bearings and with praises being sung by real devotees.


In the more popular "shiva shivayenarAdA" in rAgam pantuvarALi, TyAgarAja says --- "chanting the vEdas extols the Lord.  Avoid all the fruitless talks and in the company of noble devotees, indulge in chanting the name of the Lord and singing his glory.  Knowing that shiva is the Lord whom TyAgarAja bows down, chant the name of shiva eternally".

 The sacred river kAvEri


The geographical location of the TiruvauyAru temple on the banks of KavEri has inspired TyAgarAja to sing in praise of this sacred river, or to refer to it in many songs.

 In the k.rti  “sAri VeDalina'' in  rAgam asAvEri, TyAgarAja describes  the flow of the sacred river kAvEri ---  "the river, which gloriously going towards her husband's house, fulfilling the desires of all devotees, and after paying obeisance to the feet of  Lord  shrI Ra”nganAtha, comes to Pa~ncanadIshvara, who is the life of the fourteen  lOkas".

-


 In the  mukhAri rAga piece, "muripEmu galigEgadA'', he further echoes: “Oh  rAmA! are you not happy that you have secured the abode of  Pa~ncanada kSEtra in  cOLa dEsham, a place so beautiful, and worthy of being coveted by Lord  shiva himself, situated on the banks of the holy river kAvEri?" 


 In the song, "ennADO rakSi~ncitE" in rAgam saurASTram, he again echoes --- "to delight the hearts of  all good people who, feeling the want of water, eagerly look along the river-bed for it, and to assure them that she would really bless them, does not kavEri, sharing their concern, send in advance the western wind and start the spring?"

NAADHOPAASANA

  NAADHOPAASANA From a nice blog by suresh https://sureshs65music.blogspot.com/2007/02/versatility-of-tyagaraja-part-2.html . Quote follows. . Lets turn to another subject which was close to Tyagaraja's heart. No prizes for guessing. Music. He probably was the only composer who had composed krithis on music itself. The famous ones include ' Sogasuga Mridanga Talamu ' in Sriranjani, ' Naada Suda Rasam ' in Aarabhi,  ' Nada Tanumanisham ' in Siddaranjani, ' Raga Sudha Rasa ' in Andholika,  " Sangeetha Sastra Gnanamu ' in Mukahri, ' Sitavara Sangita Gnanamu ' in Devaghandari, etc. . These krithis give an idea of what Tyagaraja felt about music. All these krithis are beautiful and it would take a genius immersed in music to come up with such krithis. Infact he says that only with ' Nadopasana ' (Begada) did Vishu, Brahma and Siva become great. . In the other great Shankarabaranam krithi, ' Swara Raga Sudha ' he says that...
