Correction: Re: AntarvyApti and BahirvyApti (Was Re: Doubt)

From the Bhakti List Archives

Murali Kadambi • August 2, 2000

Not surprisingly I have erroneously reversed the
definitions of nArAh ayanam and nArANam ayanam.  These
refer respectively to antar-vyApti and bahir-vyApti.

Sorry for the confusion.
