C: He created (“kAraNam”) the business (“vaishya”) community (“jAti”) ! He donned (“dhAriNam”) the garb (“vESha”) of a young Brahmacchari (“vaTu”) ! He delights (“prasannam”) in Kaliyuga (“kaliyuga”)! He is an expert (“nipuNam”) in granting (“pradAna”) fertility (“vasu”) ! He influenced (“prabhAvam”) the ten incarnations (“dasha-AvatAra”) beginning (“Adi”) with the fish (“matsya”), the turtle (“kUrma”) and the boar (“varAha”)! His hands (“hastam”) wield the conch (“shankha”), the discus (“cakra”) and the lotus (“Abja”)! He is famed (“prasiddham”) for worship (“nuta”) by Subrahmanya (“guru guha”) !

Notes: [ More at: https://www.quora.com/Who-is-the-god-Satyanarayana-in-Hinduism ]

This kriti is on Lord Vishnu at Badrinath. In the Vamana incarnation, Lord Vishnu took the form of a dwarf Brahmaccharin (Vamana) and asked for three paces of land measured by his own feet from Bali, the king of the Rakshasas. Despite the entreaties of Sukra, his preceptor who recognised who the dwarf Vamana was, Bali promised the land. The dwarf then became a giant and in one stride had measured the earth and in another the heavens. He then asked Bali as to where the third measure was to come from. Bali asked the Lord to place his foot on his own head. The Lord did so and pushed Bali into the nether world. This is the story behind the line vaTuvEShadhAriNam.

The business community worships Lord Satyanarayana. So also do childless couples. This is the significance of the lines vaishyajAti kAraNam and vasupradAna nipuNam respectively.

The shrine may have been visited by Muttuswamy Dikshitar when he stayed at Varanasi in the company of Chidambaranatha Yogi. The kriti of course was composed much later. The raga, widely used in Hindustani, is apt for a temple in North India. The raga, now called Shubha Pantuvarali is the 45th melakartha.
