Let us contemplate on Lord Satyanarayana constantly. He is of the form of Truth, Knowledge & Bliss and pervades
everywhere as Lord Vishnu.
Notes: This kriti is on Lord Vishnu at Badrinath. In the Vamana incarnation, Lord Vishnu took the form of a dwarf
Brahmaccharin and asked for three steps of land measured by his own feet from Mahabali, the king of the
Rakshasa-s. Despite the entreaties of Sukra, his preceptor who recognised who the dwarf was, Mahabali promised
the land. The dwarf then became a giant and in one stride had measured the earth and in another the heavens. He
then asked Mahabali as to where the third measure was to come from. Mahabali asked the Lord to place his foot on
his own head. The Lord did so and pushed Mahabali into the nether world. This is the story behind the line
"vatuveshadharinam".
The business community worships Lord Satyanarayana. So also do childless couples. This is the significance of the
lines "vaishyajaati kaaranam" and "vasupradaana nipunam" respectively.
Muthuswamy Dikshitar may have visited the shrine when he stayed at Varanasi in the company of Chidambaranatha
Yogi. The kriti of course was composed much later. The raga, widely used in Hindustani, is apt for a temple in North
India. The raga, now called Subha Pantuvarali, is the 45th melakartha.
