Sree Padmanabhadasa Sree Swāthi Tirunāḷ Rāma Varma of the Travancore kingdom (now, part of Kerala) is hailed as a Rajarshi. A lingusit and contemporary of the Carnaitc music triumvirate (Thyagaraja, Shyama Sastri and Dikshitar), Svāti Tirunāḷ was fluent in a number of languages Malayalam, Sanskri, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Hindustani, Kannada, Bengali, Oriya and English. He composed in many of these languages with the most compositions in Sanskrit. Ascended to the throne at the age of 16, his administrative accomplishments were no less important. He died at the age of 33. On Swathi Thirunal Day, we celebrate his contributions to music, dance and literature.
