The difference between lalitA and vasantA is dhaivata. lalitA has suddha dhaivatam whilst vasantA has chatushruti dhaivatam. Records of sItamma mAyamma composed and tuned by tyAgarAja can be seen in earlier treatises. muttusvAmi dIkshithar has composed in both of these rAgas with their respective rAgamudra (name of rAga appearing in the composition lyrics). So there has been no confusion, dispute.
New version:
The composition is sung in vasantA.
