Tandanana Ahi Tandananapure
Tandanana bhala Tandanana ||

Pudami Shoriakamu Meeda polayu yendokate |
Kadu Punyulanu papa karmulanu sarigaud
Jadiyu Sree Venkateswara Namamokate ||

In this context, Srihari is the Supreme Spirit) is the indwelling Spirit to one and all. All the beings in creation are one because the indwelling spirit in every creature is one and the same.
Sleep is same to all, be it a king or a servant. Be it a “Brahmin” (man of the highest caste) or “Chandala” (man of the lowest caste), the earth they live on is the one and the same.
The sexual pleasure is one and the same either for angels or for the insects and animals. The day and night are equal to the rich as well as to the poor.
One could afford to eat tasty food and the other the condemned food. But the tongues that taste the food are alike. An object of fragrance or an object of foul smell, the air that carries the smell is one and the same.
