Dear Sri SarangapANi Kidambi:

Thanks very much for your note and
the information on the blessed musicians , who
have recorded Sri AnnamayyA's songs steeped 
in Bhagavath anubhavam . 

The use of the words Ahobilam and AhObalam 
are interchangably and specifically used by 
Sri AnnamAryA to telling effect. Thanks for 
asking about it . With your permission , I am 
copying the Bhakthi list , since some of them
may have similar concerns .

The typo was elsewhere : VaraahAkhAra .
                                ***  
That should have read VaraahAkAra .
                             **
The use of "kh" instead of "k" in
the above compound word would have
suggested links to some other personality
( Khara DhUshaNan of Srimath RaamAyaNam ).
The intent was to suggest " VarAha AakAra ",
or the one who has the form of VarAha Moorthy.
This was pointed out by another dear BhakthA .

Best wishes ,
V.Sadagopan
