u know what, i actually enjoyed this episode when
i saw 'saptapadi'.
one can consider "marugElarA..." as a romantic song
written in madhura bhakti...where the lord is the lover
and everyone else is the beloved. in which case, its
just that the definitions of the lover and the beloved were
modified for use in 'saptapadi'.
yes, it might offend the purists but then its
always a tough call to make for a film director.

prasad
p.s: thanks to sastry isukapalli for reminding
one of my all time favourites...'gandhamu pUyarugA'. it truly is
a beautifully crafted song. even this concept of
'shODasOpacArAlu' seems to be in the line of madhura bhakti.
