From next day onwards Venkataramana became an expert in music and was able to record all kritis in palm leaves. Noticing this Tyagaraja prayed Sri Rama and composed "Gnanamosagaradha" in Shadvidhamargini raga to bestow the knowledge of music to Venkataramana. Initially Venkataramana was a bit slow in grasping the lessons taught by his Guru. Venkataramana was very happy to join the band of Tyagaraja's disciples and started taking keen care of his Guru by rendering all the services needed for day to day life for a number of years until he settled in Walajapet for his livelihood.

Later this was noticed by Tyagaraja at the instance of his wife and asked Venkataramana whether he would like to learn the music from him. Initially he used to listen the music standing outside the house of Tyagaraja. His longing for music drove him to the house of Tyagaraja in Thiruvayyaru. Besides Sourashtram, his mother tongue, he learnt Sanskrit and Telugu and became a scholar. He was a child born as the Grandson of Kuppaiyer who was father of Nannusamy in answer to his prayer to have a son of great music knowledge. This Boswell of Tyagaraja was born on to Nannusamy of Ayyampettai of Thanjavur District in Tamil Nadu. One such kriti is 'Nannu palimpa' in Mohana raga which was sung in ecstasy at the time when Venkataramana Bhagavathar presented the portrait of Sri Kodanda Rama on the eve of the marriage of the daughter of Tyagaraja. He served his Guru for 26 years and earned his appreciation and blessings which is evidenced by the kritis of Tyagaraja. He was instrumental in recording the numerous compositions of Tyagaraja in palm leaves for posterity.
