About this song
The entire song is a beautiful way how the entire spectrum of art glorifies the Lord. Besides the singing of this song (music), elements of verses all have special features to them. Hence, this song is called “Citra Kavitva.” (Picture Verses) Verses 1-4 are composed of a limited number of consonants. The remaining texts assume the forms of pictures. Verse 5 is conceived in the form of a wheel. In the following picture lines 1, 2, and 3 are the spokes and line 4 the rim. Verse 6 is conceived in the form of a serpent. Verse 7 is conceived in the form of a lotus. Verse 8 reads the same backwards and forwards. In Sanskrit each syllable is represented by a single letter, therefore yi-ta' is ta-yi backwards. To understand Sanskrit lettering systems, please visit the KKSongs Devanagari Guide. Verse 10 is conceived in the form of a mrdanga drum, as shown in the following picture.
