Certainly, quite precariously. Indeed, Sri "Arudra", mentions this in his '
Andhra samagra sahitya critra', as a slip, in the chapter about nannaya.

Indeed, even 'pOtana' once came close to a similar situation. While
addressing the goddess 'saraswati',

'kATuka kanTi nEru canukaTTu payimbada
...................................'

However, based on the context, apparently nobody could touch him.

Anyhow, probably this may be the reason why 'cEmakUra venkatakavi' said

'grahimparugadA! jANalu jArupAtulan'

I am really glad to see this as sAhityamlO aUcityam#2, as you may not
believe, if I say that I thought of posting mine as #1 (for numerical
purpose, not for the quality) expecting the follow up, but hesitated to do
so, as it may be misinterpreted as self boasting.
