There is a lot written about recent Satavadhanam. Everey one enjoyed,
incuding me. However, now that I saw above posting by Sri Ramnana,
Can we discuss about the following question?
1.Was there enough challege for Sri Sarma to enjoy in doing this
Satavadhanam?
2.Is this used as a testing (experiment) grounds to do Satavadhanams in
one day ?
3. Tirapativenkata kavulu did in ( 10-15 hrs ) in Nuzuvidu written by
the local court writers. Kopparapu brothers also did in Baptla.
VenkataRamakrishana kavulu.. Atyadbhuta Satavadhanam in 4 hrs only (
without long vruttams, written dharana and random samples of dharana )...
these are a few refernce to express satavadhanams
( reference: Avadhana Vidya by Dr. Dr. C.V. Subbanna, Telugu
Viswavidyalayam, Kalabhavan, Hyderabad, First edition 1987.)
This was attempted to please king with less time and interest but
some how did not become popular)
4. Earlier the Avadhanis were tested very seriously. In some instances
they were detained in a deginated place so that they may be getting ADDED
advatages.
So are we doing in the right spirit? or relaxed, just becuse a majority of
were not able to write chndo poetry etc.,?
I think discussion on these points would help a lot in conducting next time.
