In my copy of Bhagavatam, the third line is:
"veDa veDa siDimuDi taDabaDa"
and the fourth line is:
"yaDugiDu naDugiDadu jaDima naDugiDu neDalan"
^^^^^^
I am surprised to see variations, but however the beauty of the meaning
does not seem to have changed much.. Anyway what does and how does the
"jaDima" padam fit in, in the context? In the dictionary I have by
B.Sitaramacharyulu, "jaDima" is explained as "jaDatvam" - meaning inertia !?
I am not very clear as to how it fits in there... Also the Bagavatham I have
is a copy published by Telugu vishwa vidyaalayam.. Does any one know where
I can get a version that gives meanings of the padyams also, and
preferably any prathi-padartha also?? I know I am asking too much, but since
my Telugu is not upto high standard, and my desire to read Potana has
high level of interest, I appreciate any help or pointers anyone can offer..
With best regards
