shrii miinaaxii stuti-2 | verse 1

[Ravisankar S. Mayavaram]

The text I have clearly says kaaNaada and tamil translation says
the name of the sage of kaNaadar. This sage must be a seer of
some vedic mantra. I am not sure. The translation I have is by R.
Krishnaswamy Ayyar. May be others can comment on it.


Ravi
