Oh Dhata (Dhataha) — Dhata refers to Lord Brahma, who is the primary and first direct witness for all the deeds of Lord Sri Hari. In his Matsya and Hayagreeva incarnations, Sri Hari demonstrates several extra ordinary acts like killing the demon known as Tama, killing demons Madhu and Kaitabha, retrieval of Vedas that had been stolen and so on. Lord Brahma was the only witness who could understand and propagate. Lord Brahma knew it very well that Sri Hari is the ultimate Almighty.

Devasamuha means the group of deities, gods and goddesses. Sri Vadirajaru has summoned this Deva Samooha to stand as witnesses to the role of tortoise that Sri Hari wore; besides, Sri Hari donned the role of being Mount Mandara which was the central poll used for churning in the cosmic milky ocean.

Oh Mahi — During the Varaha Avatara, Hiranyaksha had immersed the Earth in Solid Water. None could lift the Earth from the deep waters. Sri Hari incarnated as Varaha and brought the Earth back to place on its orbit. This testified the fact that Sri Hari is the Supreme God.

Oh Pralhada — Pralhada was the son of Hiranya Kashipu, the younger brother of Hiranyaksha. Hiranya Kashipu deceitfully seeks a very strange boon from Lord Brahma after accomplishing a very severe penance for several years. As per the boon sought by Hiranya Kashipu, he was not to be killed by human being, not by any animal; not inside house nor outside; not in daytime nor in the night; not from any weapons nor from gods. Sri Hari incarnated as Sri Narasihma with a human body and lion’s face. Sri Narasihma killed Hiranya Kashipu during the twilight of the dusk with his nails and on the threshold of the palace of Hiranya Kashipu. He appeared from a pillar following a deep and hearty prayer offered by Pralhada, son of Hiranya Kashipu. Sri Vadirajaru pays tributes to Pralhada in this Shloka.

In the next episode, Shloka No. 46 will be discussed.
