We know that a number of SwamiDesikan's 'grantha-s', 'kAvyA-s', 'stOtrA-s' and 'prabhandAm' were authored while he lived in Kanchipuram, Tiruvaheendarapuram and SriRangam. What are the works he authored while he lived in Satyakaalam? According to standard biography, he lived there for more than a decade. A decade is a pretty long time and a creative artist like Swami Desikan could not have remained barren for that long. But I have not heard of any work of his that was composed while he lived in Satyakaalam. Could the period he spent in Satyakaalam be regarded as a relatively infertile phase in his life when his otherwise prodigious capacity to turn out creative output shifted to a lower gear? I will be grateful if some scholar in this group can throw light. Thanks and regards, dAsan, Sudarshan --- End forwarded message ---
