[edit] Variations

  • 1danujAhava – danuja hara

[edit] References

  • 1danujAhava – The act of destroying the demons is like offering them in oblations. The following Sloka of Kathopanishad is relevant –

    • yasya brahma ca kSatraM ca ubhE bhavata OdanaH |
      mRtyuryasyOpasEcanaM ka itthA vEda yatra saH || 1. 2. 25 ||
    • "How can one know thus as to where It (the Self) is, for which both the brahmana and the kshatriya become food, and for which death takes the place of a curry?" (Translation by Swami Gambhirananda)

[edit] Commentary

  • 2rasika tyAgarAja – ‘rasika’ may be translated separately also; ‘tyAgarAja’ may be joined to the pallavi as ‘Lord of Thyagaraja’ (Both versions are given).
