Comments:
This Kriti is in the eighth (Sambodhana Prathama) Vibhakti. The  Madhyama-kala Sahitya of the
Anupallavi alone is in the fourth Vibhakti.

Charumathi, a devout woman in the Magadha country, was the first to perform Varalakshmi Puja

Goddess Lakshmi has blessed devotees with a shower of gold in many instances such as for Adi
Shankara, Sri Vedantha Desika and Sri Vidyaranya (None of these devotees used the gold for
themselves)
