Comments
² – vArASi – The word here means 'ocean'. However, as per Sanskrit Dictionary, it should either be 'vArirASi' or vArrASi'. However as 'va' means 'water' and 'ocean', probably, the word 'vArASi' has been obtained by joining 'vA' (of water) with 'rASi'. Tyagaraja uses this word in other kRtis also to mean 'Ocean'.
