Notes –
Variations
3 – mAlimitO – mAlimini.

Comments -
2 – minnulu – In all the books, this is how it is given. In telugu, this word means ‘sky’ or ‘heaven’ which does not fit in the context. However, considering the meaning taken thereof – ‘brightness’ or ‘sight’ - the appropriate word seems to be ‘minulu’ or ‘minukulu’. Looking from rhyme point of view ‘minnulu’ seems appropriate; probably, this is poetic liberty.

1 – kannulu – minnulu – eye and its sparkle – the implication is ‘ it is as good as one being blind’.

4 – nAlikElE – there is an interesting write-up on Chanting of names of Lord which has a universal appeal.

This kRti forms part of dance-drama ‘prahlAda bhakti vijayaM’.
