Commentary
- General -‘‘‘This Kriti is listed in the category of ‘doubtful’ in some books, which means it is doubtful whether this Kriti was indeed composed by Sri Thyagaraja.’’’
- 2 amRta varSiNi – As this is the name of Raga of this Kriti, it may be taken to mean the Raga itself as the name of Mother.
