14. Abhiarika is that woman who hastens to the plea of tryst due to love or 6
inebriety for taking all manners and conventions of modesty. She

features and acts. She beguiles her lover by her beauty and timely words
Khanditha is that woman whose beloved one does not honor the Vasaka
on account of his attachement for another woman and who is distressed
due to his non arrival. She received him early in the morning with

uppermost of her lips. Her state is sighing, silent, mourning, shedding
tears etc.
15. According to legends, the founder of Kuchipudi dance-drama tradition is 6
Siddhendra Yogi, who was a devotee of Lord Krishna. He was an orphan
named siddhappa. Kind neighbors who had him married in his childhood
looked him after. But when he came to close contact with the followers of
Narahari Teertha he was sent to Udipi for intense Vedic studies. After his
training he returned to Srikakulam and was known as Sidddhendra. When
the elders of the village established his identity, he was asked to join his

wife’s home. On the way he has to cross a river which was in full spate.
Midstream he found it difficult to swim and prayed to Lord that if he
reached the other bank alive, he would donate his life to the propagation of
Bhakthi. Siddhendra then became a “Sage” and renounce all earthly
attachements. Well versed in NatyaShastra he composed a dance-drama
“Parijathapaharanam” and came to Kuchelapuram, the present day
Kuchipudi Village.

Sri Narayana Theerthulu was a great poet and Yogi. He was born in
Andhra Pradesh in 1580 in Tallavagnula family and lived up to 1689. His
original name was Govinda Sastry. Father was Sri Neelakanta Sastry and
Brother Narasimha Sastry. He became scholar in music and literature
under the tutelage of his father. Later he became the disciple of Shiva
Ramananda Swami of Kanchi and took Sanyasasramam. There he was
given the name “Narayanatheerdha”. He himself addressed as
“Narayanatheerdha” in his famous book “Sri Krishna Leela Tharangini”
which is a familiar and heartening songs of all Indians. It is like
Yakshagana which contains Daruvu, slokas, gadya, Keerthanans etc,. He
has also written Parijathapaharanam Yakshagana in Telugu, Shandilya
Bhakthi suthra vyakhya, Samkyathathva Koumudivakhya, Siddhantha
laguchandrika, Vedasthavatika, Vedanta Vibhavas natika etc,. Among
these few only available in printed form, the remining is available at the
Library of University of Varanasi.
