Now that Madhava gAru brought this up, I can think of at least one
instance where "heccarika" was used in the sense of "Anandamu", as in
the tyAgarAja kIrtana: "heccarikagA rArA! hE rAmacandrA!...". I can not
recall the stanzas but the I vaguely remember thinking that
the meaning "warning" somehow does not fit with the rest of the song.

Coincidentally, verse #24 in Andhra nAma SEsham (of Andhra nAma
sangraham)  is also about "heccarika".
