Creativity of Rabindrnath -(1876-1877

It is seen in the last chapter that Rabindranath's "banaful" kabyagrantha and Pralap, a bundle of poems was published in  Jnanankur O Pratibimba .  Three sarga of Banaful and two bundles of poems of Pralap was already published. the present year the following writings is published;
1. Baishakh - Pralap
2. Jaishtha - Banaful, 4th sarga
                     Banaful, 5th Sarga
3. Shraban - Banaful - 6th Sarga
4. Bhadra - Banaful -7th sarga
5. Kartik - Banaful -8th sarga
Rabindranath published in "Saishab Sangeet Kabyagrantha" poems written in the age between 13 and 18 years . But he did not include at that time the poems , Abhilas, Hindu Melar Upahar, Prakritir Khed.He also did not include Pralap. Pralap was first included in Centenary Publication of W.B. Govt. "Banaful" was first included as a book in  9 Mar 1880. Rabindranath wrote in the manuscript of Jibansmriti that his elder brothers, satyaprasad and Somerndranath, after 3/4 years published in the form of a book in their own initiative.
In the issue of Jnanankur O Pratibimba where publication of Banaful Kabya ended ,first critical essay "Bhuban Mohini Pratibha , abasar sarojini/O dukkha sangini "was published. He wrote, "The first prose essay I wrote, was also published in the same magazine, Jnanankur. That was a critical estimate But his first prose essay , Grahagan Jiber Abasbhumi", an astronomical essay, was published in Tattwabodhini.But this essay was also not published in any collection of essays. But when he heard from one of his friend that a B.A. criticised his essay, he thought, "I was clearly feeling that the person , with different quotations , perforated my essay which I erected as a monument, left my face not to open to anybody." This was not due to Rabindranath.
An essay titled 'Pralap Sagar'  was published in Jnanankur O Pratibimba in falgun, Chitra of 1282 and Baishakh, asharh, and Ashwin and Kartik with unknown writer. Dr. Sukumar Sen opposed it and claimed this is written by Rabindranath.
11th session of Hindu Mela was held on 18th feb 1877 at tala Garden House of Raja Badan Chand. But it could not be held due police disturbance. Rabindranath was prepared to recite a poem written by him based on the last Delhi Darbar. Any way he read the poem and sung the song afterwards in the courtyard.
The renowned poet Nabin Chandra Sen mentioned in his memoirs , "I remember that in my holidays I went to see National Mela in Calcutta subarbs in 1876 [ may be 1877] . One recently introduced friend caught hold my hand in the crowed and told me some one is waiting to be introduced with me and he took me  to corner where a youth looked handsome and youth was standing with white loose trousers, aged 18/19 yrs, calm and quiet. As if  a golden idol was placed there. My friend said, he is the youngest son of Maharsi Devendranath, Rabindranath. His elder brother Jyotirindranath was my class mate in Presidency College. I saw the same beauty, same dress.We finished hand shaking each other. Then he picked up a notebook sing some songs and recited some poems. "
The poem was not printed in any magazine. Probably, due to the Vernacular press act enforced by the British Govt.
The following 4 songs written by Rabindranath may be sung in the "under Tree Asar"
1. Dhako re mukhachandrama,
2.tomari tare ma sampinu e deha
3. Ayee bishadini bina, aay sakhi
4.Bharat re tor kalankita paramanurashi.
The songs are probably created at the inspiration of Sanjibani Sabha.
In the magazine Aryadarsan a portion of Fulabala gitika was published. Though at the end it was written "Kramasa" but nothing was printed later on in the magazine. at present it is published in Rabindrarachanabali and subsequently in Saisab Sangeet in 29 May 1884.
Swarnakumari Devi (Bengaliস্বর্ণকুমারী দেবী) (28 August 1855 – 3 July 1932) was an Indian poet, novelist, musician and social worker.
 She was the first among the women writers in Bengali to gain prominence.
Swaranakumari Devi's "Gatha" was published in 20 Dec 1880.4 Gathas are included here.Sh is the first Gatha writer in Bengali literature. Rabindranath followed the path of his elder sister in writing Gatha.
Though we do not have the complete works of Phoolbala, the last song was, " Dekhe ja ,Dekhe Ja, lo tora/sadher kanane mor." Another song was ,"Golapa phool phutiya ache".
In this year another poetry was published in Tattwabodhini in Jan/Feb 1877 which was revealed by Sajani Kanta Das. Rabindranath replied to a question, "there was none to write such poetry in Tattwabodhini.
"Taraka-Kusumachay charaye akashmay" , this is the first line of the 8 lines of a poetry "Rupantar" , a translated one
Rabindranath was already acquainted with "Prachin Kabya Sangraha" edited by Akshay Chandra Sarkar and Sarada Charan Mitra. Its Brajabuli language mixed with Maitheli of Bidyabati
was unpenetrating. But it attracted Rabindranath's mind. He made its language, rhythm, and imageries within his grasp.and wrote a series of poems "Bhanu singher Padabali".He was saltisfied to write, "Gahana Kusumakunja Majhe". Rabindranath said that some poems of Bhanusinger padabali was written at the age 15/16
