Variations
- 1aḍugaḍuguku – aḍugaḍugu : aḍugaḍuguku - is the appropriate word in the present context.
- 2tyāgarājāptuḍa – tyāgarājāptuḍu : tyāgarājāptuḍa is the correct word as the Kriti, as a whole, is addressed to prahlAda.
Commentary
- General - The whole Kriti is to be read as words of Lord Hari addressed to Prahlada.
- General – The words ‘iccedanu’, ‘osagadenu’ are in present tense. This is so because whatever is willed by the Lord is accomplished. He is known as ‘satya saṅkalpa’.
