Notes:
This song employs all eight vibhaktis. The pallavi is in the nominative case, the
first three lines of the anupallavi are in the accusative case and the rest of
anupallavi is in the instrumental case. The first line of the caraNam is in
the dative case, and also incorporates the vocative (in the word cinmAtre).
The consecutive lines are in ablative, genitive and locative cases. The last
two lines, meant to be sung in the madhyamakAla, are again in the nominative
case, in order to return to the main pallavi line. The rAgamudrA “Ahiri” is slightly altered as “Ahari” and occurs in the
phrase “ramAhari”.
The cakra for this last AvaraNa, sarvAnandamaya cakram, is the bindu, the dot
at the centre of the Sricakra. The shakti which resides in this cakra is known as parApara
rahasya yogini. |
