Purandara Dāsa (Kannada: ಪುರಂದರ ದಾಸ ) (1484–1564) was a Haridasa (a devotee - servant of Lord Hari (Vishnu)), great devotee of Lord Krishna (an incarnation of Lord Vishnu) and a saint.  He was a disciple of the celebrated Madhwa philosopher-saint Sri Vyasatirtha, and a contemporary of yet another great Haridasa, Kanakadasa.  His Guru, Sri Vyasatirtha himself glorified Purandara Dasa in a song thus: "Dāsarendare purandara dāsarayya" (ದಾಸರೆಂದರೆ ಪುರಂದರ ದಾಸರಯ್ಯ).  Purandara Dasa was a composer, singer and one of the chief founding-proponents of the South Indian classical music (Carnatic Music).  In honor of his significant and legendary contributions to Carnatic Music, he is widely referred to as the "Pitamaha" ("lit", "father" or the "grandfather") of Carnatic Music.  He is respected as an "avatara" (incarnation) of the great sage Narada (a celestial being who is also a singer). The nottuswara or "nottu swaras" compositions (from "note swaras") are a set of 39 compositions in Carnatic classical music by Muthuswami Dikshitar (18th century), who was one of the three early composers celebrated as the Trinity of Carnatic music.  They are notable as an interaction between the East and the West during Company rule, being based on Western sources, mostly simple melodies inspired by Scots and Irish tunes.  They are all composed with Sanskrit lyrics in the Western C major scale, whose pitch intervals correspond to that of the Shankarabharana raga scale in Carnatic music, or the Bilaval that of Hindustani music.  Technically, the compositions are not in Shankarabharana proper, being based on simple melodies and devoid of the ornamentation ("gamaka") that is characteristic of Carnatic music.  On the other hand, the lyrics ("sahitya") of these compositions are entirely Indian and consistent with the rest of the "stotra"-literature, or other songs addressed to similar deities.
