Sri Chakraraja - composer

greenspun.com : LUSENET : carnatic.com : One Thread

Hi: Who is the composer for the krithi "Sri Chakra Raja simhasaneswari.."? I see two names in references -- Agasthiyar and Pudhukottai Santhanandha swamy. Which one is correct? Similarly, for the navaraga malika " Valachi, I have seen two listed as composers in different places. One is Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar and the other name I can't remember now. I would appreciate knowing the actual composer for these two pieces. Thanks. Kumar

shrI cakrarAja is by Agastyar. It is possible that Agastyar is the pseudonym of Pudukottai Sadananda Svami.Valaci vacci is definitely not by Poochi Iyengar. It is by Patnam Subramania Iyer.
