Dear Sri Govindan

Dear Sri Govindaswamy,
The variation 'EmAnaticcitivO' could be possible, but not found in the books referred by me.

Dear Sri Govindan
Re : EmAnaticcevO
A.P : 'tala vrAlEmO' sounds a little odd. TalavrAta is in common use. In Telugu letters 'ta' 'la' are very close in appearance. I think that there has been an error in copying and vrAta has become vrAla.

Dear Sri Govindaswamy,

'vrAlu' is an appropriate word - please refer to Telugu Dictionary - Tyagaraja uses this word in many kRtis to mean 'fate'. 'vrAlu' is used in the sense of 'signature'. Combined with 'tala vrAlu' it would mean 'fate'.

వ్రాలు vrālu. n. (plu. of (వ్రాయి.) The letters of the alphabet. అక్షరములు. Writing, handwriting, లిపి. వ్రాలు or చేవ్రాలు a signature, హస్తాక్షరి. వ్రాలాక a signed paper, a letter. Pal. 31. వ్రాసికొను vrāsi-konu. v. a. To write down, take down, enrol, take a note of.

Regards,
V Govindan
