1 – pEriDi ninu – In SrImad-vAlmIki rAmAyaNa, bAla kANDa, Chapter 18, vAlmIki does not say ‘a child was born to kausalyA’ but ‘rAma was born to kausalyA’. It was vasishTha who named the children. The following verses are relevant –

kausalyA janayad rAmaM divyalakshaNasaMyutaM 10

jyEshThaM rAmAm mahAtmAnaM bharataM kaikEyIsutaM

vasishThaH parama prItO nAmAni kurutE tadA 21, 22

“...mother kausalyA gave birth to a highly blessed son named ‘rAma’ ... endowed with auspicious marks....” (10)

“He (daSaratha) further performed the naming ceremony (with respect to his sons) on completing eleven days. Supremely delighted the sage vasishTha (on behalf of the King) made the eldest, (an embodiment of) the Supreme Spirit, known by the name of ‘rAma’, the son of kaikEyI by that of ‘bharata’, the (first) son of sumitrA by that of ‘lakshmaNa’ and the other by that of ‘Satrughna’ on that occasion (21,22)

Govundan sir, when I listen to this krithi sometime I get a thought in my mind. If Tyagaraja was asking how anyone cn name you and look after you to grow whwn you are the ultimate Brahman. Whoever has done so might have only in your maya and were think so. Could tyagaraja have such bhava in his mind while writing this krithi. I don't know much about the scriptures and all but just these are my thoughts.
