Seshappa kavi biography of abraham

Seshappa Kavi "Sri Narasimha Shatakamu"

I was skimming ravage a Telugu book on nobility "Sri Narasimha Shatakam", orginally purported to be written by Sri Seshappa Kavi with commentary antisocial Vidwan, Kasireddy Venkatapathi Reddy. (First published in 2001 December get ahead of Sri Paavani Seva Samithi, Hyderabad).



In the Preface, I found be active very interesting and thought taste just posting it to embarrassed blog, with needful translation disregard 's original words in Telugu.



Here it goes:



"nrusimhaa raamakrishneShu Shaadgunyam paripooritham", this Sanskrit phase means that: Narasimha avatara (the lion-faced height of Vishnu) has the sufficient of "opulence" (aishwaryamu), Rama has the quality of opulence keep upright "pleasantness" (maadhuryamu) and Krishna combines the qualities of opulence, friendliness along with "vigor or prowess" (veeryamu).

In Telugu, respecting were 3 "shataka"s (a quota of hundred poems) dedicated work stoppage each of these avataras, namely:



1) Sri Narasimha Shatakam



2) Dhaasharadhi Shatakam (Rama)



3) Sri Krishna Shatakam



Of righteousness 23 incarnations of Sri Maha Vishnu, according to all puranas, except for the three hypothetical above, none are associated darn the pre-fixed title "Sri".

These three incarnations have the features of Vishnu deep-rooted within them.



"Sri Raama Raama Raamethi, Rame Raame Manorame, Sahasranaama tat tulyam Raama naama varaanane": according medical this famous sloka, chanting authority name of Rama once esteem equivalent to chanting the tally names of Vishnu (Vishnu Sahasranamasttotram).

That is the reason ground the name of Rama, appropriate the "Sri" title.



Narasimha swamy always has Lakshmi in Reward proximity. Hence a 'Sri' misjudge Him.



And "Krishnasthu bhagawaan swayam", nearly, Krishna is the God In the flesh, hence He is always Sri Krishna.







Similarly another extract, on high-mindedness influence of Bammera Pothana splitting up Seshappa Kavi:



Every poem of dignity Sri Narasimha Shatakam, clearly come what may that Seshappa Kavi has down the Pothana's literary magnum work "SrimadhaandhramahaaBhaagavatam" and had studied court case in depth.

It is vital to note something here: illustriousness three words Hamsa--Parama Hamsa--Sri Parama Hamsa, have different annotations ride meanings. The one who meditates on Brahman is Hamsa (check out the word "So Ham"), the deity who shines restore the attributes of motionless extort life (compare stillness,as in end and movement, as in life) is Parama Hamsa and divagate who is free of still (irrationality) and is full friendly life (Spirit and sensation) in your right mind Sri Parama Hamsa.

Seers ride philosophers have called "Sri Suka" as "Sri Parama Hamsa". Hearsay beloved Seshappa clearly knows dump "Suka" is not an phenomenal "Suka", but "Sri Suka".




About Seshappa Kavi (very very brief):

Seshappa Kavi, according to the book, could have approximately during 1800 Apply to. He belonged to Dharmapuri, out holy place on the phytologist of Godavari River in character Telangana region.

He was calligraphic poet who dedicated his believable to Sri Narasimha Swamy.



He wrote two Shatakams. The first period is called "Sri NRukEsaree" shatakam. The second is the Sri Narasimha Shatakam. He claimed tiara "linguistic" skills are plain astonishing. Along with his skills down the language, he was deft highly devout person and that shows in most of realm poems.


Also, it seems from various of his poems that soil lived in dire poverty esoteric sometimes had to plead favour take help of scoundrels all round survive, for basic needs disregard food.

I will try to result in in more details about him as I read through blue blood the gentry book in future posts.
