Ttikkana vs. Tirupati Venkata KavuluWhat makes SreekRshNa raayabaaram padyaalu more popular than tikkana padyaalu ?
As to the popularity of poems from tirupati vEnkaTa kavulu, versus that of Tikkana, I guess there are several reasons. I will list what I think (thinking loud). They are written especially for dramatic portrayal, each poem(s) being by one character, without someone else chipping in. They are easier to understand, words, phrases, etc... These have been heard by countless people, countless times, and some of the phrases have become part of our language. Look at the drama in the following two poems: nanda kumAra, yuddhamuna nA rathamandu vasimpumayya, ma- dhyandina BAnumanDala vidhambuna nIdagu kalmi jEsi nA syandana moppugAka, ripu santati tEjamu tappu gAka, nI vendunu nAyudhammu dari kEgami koppudu gAka, kESavA - tirupati vEnkaTa kavulu ani paliki hari girITin ganugoni konDokavu nIvu gAvuna nIkun munu gOra bADi yanavuDu vini kRshNuni gOrikoniye vijayunDelamin - tikkana anniyeDalanu nAku dITainavAru gOpakulu padivEvurakunTha balulu kalaru nArAyaNAkhya cennalaru vAru vAraloka vaipu, nEnokk vaipu, mariyu yud-dha monarintru vArala bad-dhammendulaku, nEnu paramAptuDanai yud-dhammu trOva pOvaka bud-dhiki tOcina sahAyamonarintu....... - TV kavulu nA pATiya padi vEvuru, gOpAluru kalaru, samada kOvida bAhA TOpAbhirAmamUrtulu, cApAdyAyudha kaLAviSArada cittul nArAyaNAbhidAnulu vAralu gayyambu sEyu vArokkaDa, nE nUraka nirAyudha vyA pAratamai nunDuvADa baramAptuDanai vArokatal, yE noka tala yI renDu derangulandu neyyadi priya me- vvAriki jeppuDu dolitoli gOrikonan bAluniki dgun bADi meYin - tikkana See the similarity in some of the words and concepts, and at the same time the difference in the totality of the poems !! |
