Notes
Variations - (Pathanthara)
1 – kari rAjuni – giri rAjuni : As ‘giri rAjuni’ does not seem to be correct, ‘kari rAjuni’ has been adopted.
2 – surulella – surulellaru.

3 - SAmbhavuDaina dAnava SUra – The person to whom this refers is not very clear. It is not ‘mucukunda’ because he was a king in the lineage of ikshvAku. It cannot be ‘rAvaNa’ because of the word ‘kAcitivi’ (protected).
This kRti is listed in the category of ‘doubtful’ in the book ‘Compositions of Tyagaraja’ by Sri TK Govinda Rao, which means it is doubtful whether this kRti was indeed composed by SrI tyAgarAja.
