Govinda Rao's book) I salute ("mrokkeda") the enlightened souls ("vidulaku") well versed ("Ko-vidhulaku") in music ("sangita"), which they have used as a vehicle for worshipping and realising the Lord. My obeisance ("mrokkeda") to those who are proficient in the Saama Veda ("nigama") which emanated from Lord Shiva ("Mudamuna Shankara"), as a musical outpouring ("krita"). My salutations to the elevated souls ("vidhulaku") who have realized the seven notes - SAPTA SWARA - as the divine emanations from Omkaara ("Naada-atmaka") -- the primordial eternal sound, Naada, a facet of the transcendental Godhead, BRAHMAN. My salutations ("vandyulaku mrokkeda") to Lakshmi ("kamala"), Paarvati ("gowri"), Sarasvati ("vaagishwari"), Brahma ("vidhi"), Vishnu ("garuda Dhwaja"), Shiva, Naarada, Indra ("amaraeesha"), Bharata, Kaashyapa, Chandikeshwara ("chandisha"), Anjaneya, Subrahmanya ("Guha"), Vighneshwara ("gajamukhulu"), Maarkandeya ("su-mrukanduja"), Agastya ("kumbhaja"), Tumburu, Someshwara, Sarngadeva, Nandi and others ("pramukhulaku") who know the secret ("marma") of the Bliss Supreme ("sudhaambudhi") -- Brahmaananda.
