Most of my translations from Telugu are the compositions of Thyagaraja.
The greatest pioneering Vaggeyakaras (people who wrote lyrics to suit this music) are Saint Thayagaraja, Saint Annamacharya and Shyama Shastri. Possibly this is because Telugu with all its words ending in vowels is most suited to this type of music. The most popular in these are Krithis (compositions) written in Telugu. These are written in Sanskrit as well as all the South Indian Languages viz., Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. The classical music of South India is known as Carnatic Music. I humbly request readers to point out these to me, So that I can correct them. There is a possibility of errors in translation also. There is a possibility of typographical errors. Most of the lyrics have been taken from different web sites.
