  These kritis are available in the book 'Maharaja Sri Swati Tirunal Kritis. Swara notations by Semmangudi Srinivasier. Published in 1970 by Sri Swati Tirunal Kritis Publication Committee, Tiruvanatapuram. I am not sure if the book is still available in music bookstores.

  In addition to the book which Lakshmanan mentioned earlier, there is another excellent source: "Sree Swathi Tirunal: His Life and Works" (in Malayalam) by Professor V. S. Sharma of University of Kerala (National Book Stall, Kottayam 1985). It is a thick book of 1028 pages and in certainly an Encyclopadea of ALL the works (carnatic compositions, literary work, poems, grammatical work etc) of Maharaja Swathi Tirunal. Pages 1067-1081 contain "Uthsava Prabandham" with brief meaning. It also features numerous carnatic compositions not printed in other standard books.
  The entire book is in Malayalam.

  Yet another book on Swathi Tirunal Krithis is a recent reprint of the 1916 year book by K. Chidambara Vadhyar, nicely reprinted and published by C B H Publications, Nagerkoil (Dr S. Bhagyaleskhmi's publishers). It is an excellent book that gives numerous krithis of Swathi Tirunal, all typeset in Malayalam, and pages 155-166 give all the Uthsava Prabandham songs.

  Sngeetha Kalanidhi T.K.Govida Rao, after publishing the krithis of the Trinity (thyagaraja, Mudduswami (he spells like this) Deekshitar and Shyama Sastri, told me late in year 2000 that he is embarking on his next magnum opus to contain all the krithis (&other forms of compositon) of Swathi ThirunaaL in two scripts: English and Evanagari, just like his earlier works covering the Trinity. Pl. send me an e-Mail to get Vid.TK Govinda Rao's e-Mail ID / website so that you may contct him directly. I can also give a listing of all publications, irrespective of language, that have ever been published, whether in print or out of print, and that have come to my notice in my arduous efforts during the past 6-7 yrs. of compiling databases (inter alia) on compositions, composers/lyricists/tunesmiths and BOOKS on any aspect of Car.Music, incldg. compilations/antholoogies of the musical creations of different composers (="vaakgeyakaras").
