Written in the Telugu language, the mother tongue of Tyagaraja, it is a ‘Sarvya-samgita-rupaka’, a musical play for recital. A beautiful, allegorical ensemble of a musical motif, it can also be studies as a poetical classic. As a musical play, it is greatly popular because of its fascinating and imaginative theme, in which Tyagaraja has ingeniously combined the most captivating episodes of the Mahabhagavatapurana, viz, the ‘Gopikavastrapaharanam’ and the ‘Rasalila’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this transliteration and translation of the Nauka Caritramu, Dr. C. Vasundhara has done the transliteration in Roman script in strict accordance with the Telugu orthography; and, in the translation she has made a sincere attempt to render into English idiom the literary beauty (Sahitya Saundariya), the musical excellence (samgita vaisistya) and the philosophical allegory (vedamta amtarartha), the three essential characteristics, which the Nauka Caritramu consists of.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the ‘Notes’ classical allusions in the Nauka Caritramu are elucidated and attentions is drawn to narrative episodical parallelisms between the Nauka Caritramu and the Mahabhagavata.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrontispiece-Sadguru Tyagarajasvami\u003cbr\u003eThe Glory of Sain Tyagaraja\u003cbr\u003eSavants on Tyagaraja’s Nauka Caritramu\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eScheme of Transliteration\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations\u003cbr\u003eTransliteration and Translation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eAppendices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix I\u003cbr\u003eTabular Analysis of Ragas used in the Nauka Caritramu, with the Tala and the Arohana, and Avarohana of each.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix II: Transliteration into Devanagari (Hindu) Script of Songs No. I to 21 of Nauka Caritramu\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Tyagaraja \/ Indian Institute of Advanced Study \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153761399152,"sku":"26312","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/26312.jpg?v=1793913697","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/tyagarajas-nauka-caritramu-a-musical-play","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
