BANGALORE, JAN. 24. In a memorandum, the president of the Kannada Shakti Kendra and scholar, M. Chidananda Murthy, has urged the Government to include the names of Madhwacharya and Kumaravyasa in the poem, Jayabharata jananiya tanujaate, and help end the controversy over the nada geete (State song) as there is evidence that Kuvempu himself gave consent to this. Dr. Murthy and the noted Kannada activist, Ra. Nam. Chandrashekara, told presspersons here today that they had submitted the memorandum to the Chief Minister, S.M. Krishna, and the Minister of State for Kannada and Culture, Rani Satish, and provided them documentary evidence to show that the names of Madhwacharya and Kumaravyasa were included in the poem by Kuvempu himself. Jayabharata jananiya tanujate was first published in 1930 in the anthology, Kolalu, in which the names of Basaveshwara, Madhwacharya, and Kumaravyasa did not figure. The name of Basaveshwara was included in the fourth edition of Kolalu brought out in 1958. In 1971, G. Narayana, then president of the Kannada Sahitya Parishat, first brought the poet's attention to the "omission" of the names of Madhwacharya and Kumaravyasa in the poem. Kuvempu included both the names, and the complete text of the poem was republished in the parishat's periodical, Kannada Nudi, dated February 16, 1971. In 1976, the poet's own publication, Udayaravi Prakashana, published a collection of the poet's articles, Vicharakrantige Aahvaana, in which the full text of the poem was given in an article titled, Kritiyallina Karnataka: itta hesaru kotta mantra. The parishat reproduced the work, Vicharakrantige Aahvaana, on a later date with the consent of the poet. In a letter to the seer of Pejawar Math on February 24, 1989, Kuvempu's personal assistant, Dase Gowda, said that the poet had agreed to include the name of Madhwacharya in Jayabharata jananiya tanujaate as the parishat wanted to adopt it as the nada geete.
