Composer and Singer

Vyasaraya Tirtha or Vyasatirtha (1460–1539) (also known as Vyasaraja, Vyasaraayaru), a Haridasa, was born at Bannur in the Mysore District of Karnataka state. He is regarded as one of the foremost dialecticians in the history of Indian philosophy. He belonged to the Dvaita school of Madhvacharya. He along with Jayatirtha, helped in systematizing Dvaita into an established school of Vedic thought. Vyasatirtha's genius lay in his clear understanding and exposition of all his opposing schools of thought, for which even his opponents admired him. He was a master at debate and dialogue in logic and philosophy.^[4]

Lyrics in Kannada script

ಕೃಷ್ಣ ನೀ ಬೇಗನೇ ಬಾರೋ ॥ಪ॥

ಬೇಗನೆ ಬಾರೋ ನೀ ಮುಖವನ್ನು ತೋರೋ ॥ಅ.ಪ॥

ಕಾಲಾಲಂದುಗೆ ಗೆಜ್ಜೆ ನೀಲದ ಭಾವುಲಿ
ನೀಲವರ್ಣನೆ ನಾಟ್ಯವಾಡುತ ಬಾರೋ ॥1॥

ಉಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಉಡುಗೆಜ್ಜೆ ಬೆರಳಲ್ಲಿ ಉಂಗುರ
ಕೊರಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಕಿದ ವೈಜಯಂತಿಮಾಲೆ ॥2॥

ಕಾಶೀ ಪೀತಾಂಬರ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೊಳಲು
ಪೂಸಿದ ಶ್ರೀ ಗಂಧ ಮೈಯೊಳು ಘಮಘಮ ॥3॥

ತಾಯಿಗೆ ಬಾಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜಗವನ್ನು ತೋರಿದ
ಜಗದೋದ್ಧಾರಕ ನಮ್ಮ ಉಡುಪಿ ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣ ॥4॥^[6]
