BHADRACHALAM

Finally he used to taunt Sri Rama for his indifference, but the next moment he repented and cried like child. Taken together and examined deeply, each song is infused with devotion and his understanding of God, which by any standard is superb and exemplary. The diction is simple yet sublime and the rhyme unequalled in grace and lilt. Even his taunts find justification, since it is common with all the god-toxicated, for whom God is all and see Him in all and with whom they have established kinship of supreme type to resort to cajoling, blaming, crying, repenting, praying until at last they merge in Him. Well, with whom else can they take liberty than with their Maker? Their license, prattle, blames are dear to their Lords, who with smiles wreathing their faces see, hear and enjoy for a time, and finding them all coming out of the unbearable ordeal, they hasten to succour, sometime running, at times impersonating as the adorers. They only send misfortunes in battalions to cleanse their bodies of all the dross and gross and make them fit to receive Sannidhya, Salokya, Sarupya, Sayujya mukti according to their choice. This remarkable bhakta prayed for immediate release from the shackles of Nizam, possible only on payment of the amount to the extent of misappropriation.
