Variations

  • 1 aDugaDuguku – aDugaDugu : aDugaDuguku - is the appropriate word in the present context.
  • 2 tyAgarAjAptuDa – tyAgarAjAptuDu : tyAgarAjAptuDa is the correct word as the Kriti, as a whole, is addressed to prahlAda.

Commentary

  • The whole Kriti is to be read as words of Lord Hari addressed to Prahlada.
  • 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 saGkalpa ’.
