The other names in the choices were not imaginary though. What was Bhadrachala Ramadasa’s real name? Kancherla Gopanna.There are no known compositions of his on this temple. Which among the following is a temple not visited by Purandaradasa? Srikalahasti.The late Suguna Purushottaman went off into peals of laughter at a lecdem while stating this and speculated on how it would have been so tough on tunesmiths if they had to adhere to the raga names given. If we were to follow the raga names we found in the copperplate inscriptions of Annamayya, which is the raga in which the bulk of his songs would be sung? Gundakriya apparently.Apparently the old man was disappointed with the response and so swore off from printing, until AM Chinnasami Mudaliar turned up to convince him. Before he published his Sangita Sampradaya Pradarsini, Subbarama Dikshitar published another book. I have had some interesting feedback, some said it was too tough, others said they got half correct, but all have said it was a good compilation. And so here are the answers to the questions I posted yesterday.
