Oh Rama, how did the great scholars identify you ? In what manner did they worship you?
A.P. SivuDanO mAdhavuDanO kamala
bhavuDanO parabrahmamanO nin||
Did they think that you are Siva , Madhava, Brahma or Para brahma?
C 1 Siva mantramunaku 'ma' jeevamu mA
dhava mantramunaku 'rA'jeevamu
ee vivaramu telisina ghanulaku mrokkeda
vitara guNa tyAgarAja vinuta||
Letter 'ma' is the soul of Sivamantra. Letter 'ra' is the soul of Madava (Narayana) mantra. I offer my salutations to those stalwarts who knew this thoroughly . Oh Rama, you are very generous. Tyagaraja worships you.
