The translation is given in block letters- not :that it is better than the original, but just to discriminate it from the :original! :### :Jagadodhdharana AadisidaLeyshodha :Jagadodhdharana...... : YASHODA PLAYED(AadisidaLu) WITH THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD (Jagadodharana) :Jagadodhdharana maganendu thiLiyutha :THINKING or PRETENDING (thiLiyutha) THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD AS HER SON (maganendu) :SuguNaantha Rangana AadisidaLeyshodha ... :YASHODA PLAYED WITH THE EMBODIMENT (antharangana) OF ALL GREAT QUALITIES(suguna) : :Nigamakey silukada AgaNitha Mahimana :ONE WHOSE GREATNESS (mahima-na) IS BEYOND (silukada) COUNTS (AgaNitha) and MEASURES (Nigama) :MagugaLa MaaNikyana AadisidaLeyshodha ... :YASHODA PLAYED WITH THE PEARL (MaaNikya) AMONG KIDS (magugala) . : :ANoraneeyana Mahatho Maheeyana :(Same as the Sanskrit Anoraneeyan mahathom :.Aprameyana AadisidaLeyshodha ...

YASHODA PLAYED WITH VITTALA OF PURANDARA (a common name for Krishna in Maharashtra- the native State of Purandara Dasa). PURANDARAHA IS ALSO NAME FOR VISHNU IN VISHNU SAHASRA NAMAM. I don't know the origin of VITTALA. I have noticed that if you say VITTALA VITTALA VITTALA... it sounds like a city in israel (TEL AVIV) . ### Daasan Sreekrishna (Tatachar) tatachar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
