Nadha sudha - arabhi

Hi guys im a new member to the forum.
I recently learnt this krithi and the lyrics for the pallavy were taught to me as:
"nadha sudha rasambilanu
nara kritiyaye manasa"
However i have noticed that most people end the last line with 'pranava' instead of "manasa" is this just the way different schools of music render the krithi or could this be a technical mistake ? I have also learnt the version where 'manasa' is rendered pmpd which isnt the way pranava is sung.
If someone can clarify this and if anyone has a link to a recording it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks =)

Well, this is a really minor difference!

But after "bilanu", a "manasa" makes sense. Will this praNava be an adjective for nAdam? How is this praNava sung? My mother learnt it as manasa with mpd.

Hyderabad brothers (I have a recording ... must be there on sangeethamshare) sing it as "nara kita" ... They don't say "Aye", they say "ana" instead.
