Dear and revered Sri.Anbil,
Thank you for a lovely write-up on the meanings of various "phala-srutis".
I have a small and rather naive question on the subject. I'll be grateful
if you
could throw some light on it.
We call the main body of a hymn as "stotra" or "stuthi" but reserve the
Vedic
term "sruti" to the epilogue! "phala-srutis" partake of the character of
"sruti"
even more than "stOrA-s" perhaps? What is the significance?
Thank you Sir for your kind words about "bandhus and jantus".
adiyEn,
sudarshan
