ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ

Tamil kriti of Oothukkadu Venkata Kavi, in raga Kanada, Adi tala (18th century CE) · Oothukkadu Venkata Kavi (Venkata Subbaiyer) · 18th century CE

Oothukkadu Venkata Kavi, a saint and composer devoted to Lord Krishna at Oothukkadu near Thanjavur, poured his love for the Lord into hundreds of kritis. In 'Alaipayuthe Kanna' he gives voice to the soul's overwhelming longing for Krishna — the mind tossing like waves at the music of the flute — in the mood of the gopis who could not bear to be apart from Him. The song, long treasured, has become one of the most popular of all Tamil Krishna kritis.

ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ

It is told that Oothukkadu Venkata Kavi was so beloved of Krishna that the Lord, as the dancing Bala Krishna of Oothukkadu, would respond to his songs; devotees hold that to sing 'Alaipayuthe Kanna' with true longing draws the same enchanting nearness of Krishna that the composer himself knew.
