Commentary
-
- 2 vizwanAtha – name of Lord Siva at Kasi kshetra.
- 3 zrI kAnta – In the anupallavi, the Lord is addressed as ‘zrI nAyaka ’ – meaning Vishnu, in the Charana, Vishnu Himself is shown as part of Trinity. Therefore, the epithet ‘zrI nAyaka ’ would indicate Narayana who is above the Trinity.
