The compositions are originally in Sanskrit. The translator, C. Ramanujachariar, sought to take these songs, which embody the trials, yearnings, religious fervor, and devotional experiences of Tyagaraja, beyond southern India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe songs are classified into two charts, with an index provided in both Sanskrit and English. The preface and introductory thesis (covering two-thirds of the book) are written by V. Raghavan, a Sanskrit scholar and musicologist. The foreword is written by S. Radhakrishnan, the vice-president of India at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRamanujachariar, who was also an administrator, actor, musician, and spiritual seeker, was well-known as the Secretary of the Ramakrishna Mission Students Home, Chennai.
