Thanks Savitri.

Smt. Savitri: couple of questions - 1) what is the relevance of Siva looking at sarasvati (brahmana rANiya nODuvanu)? 2) Am I correct in interpreting the last part of the caraNa to mean that the composer realizes Siva when he meditates on hari (hari nArAyaNa dhyAnadale)?

Two pennies:
Purandaradasa travelled widely and referred many times to places of worship and pilgrimage. Patalagange is near Tumkur.

Sarasvati is playing the veena during Shiva's cosmic dance. Refer verse 66 of Saundarya Lahari

[HarishankarK]

This krithi is on Lord Mallikarjuna of SriSailam and Patala Gange is the river on the way to the Sri Sailam hills.

Thank you.

The issue is that there is a mistake in the lyrics that has been made in the earliest days of print and has been handed down over generations.. The lyrics should read "bhramara rANiya nODuvanu" not brahmana.. The reason is that this pada was composed in SriSailam where the deity is BhramarAmba and Mallikarjuna. It is natural that Mallikarjuna looks at his Rani BhramarA.. Hope this clears up so much misconception that is going on regarding this dasara pada.
