It was very interesting for me that the verb 'AlavIti', which I presume means sing joyfully (in this case, with melody - 'susvarEn'), is very similar to the tamizh verb Alutal which also means to sing joyously! Of course, when Alutal is used in the context of a peacock, as in 'mayilinam Alum sOlai', it means, 'to dance'.....

Eye candy context plus the Divine song - added bonus! - beautiful translation of a very beautiful song, two singers - a real pleasure, both versions! Thank you for this abhang.

You could have at least appreciated the singing - two wonderful renditions!
