Thank you so much for the translation

[rshankar]

Rajani:

Awesome effort! Thanks.

[Rajani]

Thanks Ravi.

[arasi]

Rajani,
Good to see you at your translation desk. As good in sanskrit as you are in tamizh!

can anybody share the story behind
vasudEva being called as Anaka dundubhi??

anaka and dundubhi are types of drums:
Anaka==>tabor==>https://g.co/kgs/RkVYDS
dundubhi==>kettledrums==>https://g.co/kgs/4YvJQL

But not relevant in this context - Anakadundubhi, as explained by Rajani is another name for vasudEva. There is no way that Sri OVK thought of kRshNa as the 'good fortune' of tabors and kettledrums.....

Ānakadundubhī (आनकदुन्दुभी).—A previous name of Vasudeva. (s.v.)1 When he was born dundubhi and the ānakas were sounded as in a festival in the house of Śūra by the gods; ... ... ...

thanks shankar and bala for response!

LOL

i felt something was missing in my understanding,
finally i could articulate,

vasudeva gets the name anaka-dundubi as,

when vasudeva was born,
the gods from the heaven being aware that he is going to be the father of lord Krishna(in future)
sounded the drums anaka and dundubi(tabors and kettledrums).
hence vasudeva was being called anaka-dundubi
