He lived in Kaja near Mangalagiri in Guntur district. They belonged to Tallavajula family.〔On a lyrical note, Y.Ramaprabha rendered Sri Krishna Leela Tarangini, The Hindu, 4 December 2009.〕 His birth name was Govinda Sastrulu. They eventually moved to Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. While there is significant dissention as to his exact time, historians place him between 1610 and 1745 AD. An extensive research done with the help of archives preserved in Saraswati Mahal Library has helped place the time closer to 1650 AD – 1745 AD, and he reportedly lived a long life. He mastered music at a very early age and studied ''Puranas'', ''Bhagavata Purana'' and other Sanskrit works. He renounced family at a very early age and took on a life of a religious devotion. He went to Varanasi to spread his philosophy. Teertha was very well versed in Music and, Natya Shastra, and a great scholar in Sanskrit. He used at least 34 popular ragas. He used Triputa, Adi, Rupaka, Chapu, Jampa, Matya, Vilamba, Eka and Ata taalams. Many of the songs are structurally well set for direct use as nritya or natya padams. He carefully avoided complex usages and utilized easy expressions. His Gadyams and Padyams are exquisite in beauty. He used 17 different Chandas or meters such as Anushtup, Arya, Indravajra, Bhujangaprayadam, Sardoola vikreeditam, Vasanta tilaka, Pritvi. He wrote 15 books and some of them are available in Benares Hindu University and ''Parijatapaharanam'' at Saraswathi Mahal in Tanjore. He is also credited with composing two other operas, ''Parijatha Apaharanam'' and ''Haribhakthi Sundarnavam''. Sri Narayana Tirtha attained Mukti(Became one with Lord Venkatesa Perumal) in 1745 at Varagur in Thanjavur Dist. Slogam Number 94 in Krishna Sikyotsavam is an evidence for the same. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Narayana Teertha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
