Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 RAghavayAdhaveeyam by Sri vEnkatADHvari The author Sri Venkatadhvari was born at Arasanipalai near JKancheepuram and was astaumh follower of Sri vedntadesika.He had mastery in poetry and rhetorics. He had composed 14 works , the most important of them being Lakshmisahasram by composing which he got back his lost eyesight. The present work Raghavayadhaveeyam comprises of 30 verses and deals with the story of Rama and Krishna together by adopting the style of anuloma and prathiloma, that is,reading each stanza as such and in reverse order, the former telling the story of Rama while the latter narrating the story of Krishna. Hence this work actually consists of 60 slokas in all. The story of Rama follows Valmiki Ramayana closely but there is a slight deviation with respect to the story of Krishna which will be explained as the work progresses.The style is rather difficult to understand and the commentary in sanskrit is provided by the author himself to facilitate comprehension.I will try to give the same in English along with the sanskrit slokas which I will send as jpeg file separately.
