[edit] References
- 1anAthuDavu – The Lord being Supreme, there is none above Him; therefore, He is called anAtha. Please also refer to [Discourse of Kanchi Mahasvami] on 'Saundarya Lahari' verse 41
- Sri Purandara Dasa also has also sung a song (Yugabhoga) on the same lines ‘ninnanta svAmi’.
[edit] Commentary
- 2sanAtanalu – This may also mean the eternal Lords Vishn and Siva, but with reference to the context, it seems that the mind-born sons of Brahma – Sana, Sanaka, Sandanda and Sanatana are meant.
