krishNa bhaktas,

Here is a devara nAma on sri jagannatha dAsaru by sri shyama

sundara viTTala called " Ranga olida dAsa rAya " . This is song is sung

beautifully by sri N. Ramachandra Rao on a cassette called " Chippagiriya

nilaya " .

(Note: Reference to the pillar is to a pillar in sri Jagannatha dasaru

temple in mAnvi. It is said that

Sri jagannatha left his life while leaning on the pillar and is said to

reside in the pillar even today. The pillar is the main object of

worship in the temple.

I have uploaded a picture of the pillar at
