[edit] Variations

  • 1 sadguNa sAndra - sadguNa gaNa sAndra. sAndra - gaNa have almost similar meanings; both words might conflict with each other. Therefore, sadguNa sAndra may be appropriate.

[edit] References

  • 2munIndra - this may refer to mahaRSi vAlmIki.

[edit] Commentary

  • 3 rAja rAja - In the books of TKG and TSV/AKG, this word has been taken to mean ‘Kubera’. As per Monier’s Sanskrit Dictionary, ‘mahArAja’, among others, also means ‘Kubera’. May be, this has been modified by Sri Thyagaraja as ‘rAja rAja’. The same word is used in the Kriti 'Sundaresvaruni' Raga Sankaraabharanam also.
