Note: The poet Shri Dikshita is said to have composed this poem 
at the famous temple of Nataraja at Chidambaram. Here one can
have darsan at the same time of Govindaraja and Nataraja. The
remarkable feature of this poem is that each pada (quarter of
each verse) contains a description of Lord Govindaraja and 
of Nataraja. In the last verse the poet says that he sees 
no difference between these two forms of the Lord.

A short life sketch of Shri Appayya Dikshita (1520-1593 AD)
Shrimad Appayya Dikshita was born at Adayapalam village, very near
Arni, North Arcot District, Tamil Nadu in the year
1520 AD. His father Shri Rangarajadhari was the son of Shri Acharya
Dikshita - also known as Vakshasthalacharya who was in
the court of Shri Krishnadevaraya. Appayya was an
endearing form of his real name, Vinayaka Subramaniam.
The 16th century AD, in South India was an age of confusion
when begotry and vigorous proselytism were rampant. Persecution of one sect by
another with the help of the ruling dynasties
was quite common. In such an age, the need was felt for a
rare scholar with comprehensive vision and imagination, whose mission
in life would be the reconciliation of the various creeds,
cults and philosophies. Shri Appayya Dikshita filled this essential
need. He was a peace maker who pleade for harmony, tolera nce and mutual
goodwill and understanding at a time when people were
quarrelling among themselves as to who was superior Vishnu or Shiva. (Dr. N.
Ramesan IAS. Shri Appayya Dikshita Page 3)
Dikshitar's culture was at once profound, libeal and wide. His
characteristic impartiality never failed him even in his out and
out militant works.(A. V. Gopalachariar. Introduction to
Varadarajastava 1927. P vii) Dikshitar's learning, says Y. Mahalinga
Shastri, was in the truest sense of the word encyclopaedic.\\##

yatkR^itibodhAbodhau vidvadavidvadvibhAjakopAdhI .. (bhaTTojIdIxitaH).##\\

Shri Dikshita is the author of not less than 104 works and had enjoyed
the patronage of King Chinna Bomma of Vellore. He
was offered kanakAbhiSheka by this king in 1582AD. He was
patronised by Chinna Thimma and Venkatapati also. He
lived upto the ripe age of 73 years and spent his last days in
Chidambaram.

Some of his most famous works are Shivarka maNidiipikA, NyAya
rakShAmaNI, siddhAnta lesha sa.ngraha, parimala, chAturmata
sArasa.ngraha, yAdavabhyudaya vyAkhyA, varadarAjastava and
kuvalayAnanda. His stotras are simple, popular and effective,
for example, mArgabandhu stotram, durgAchandrakalA stuti,
ApitakuchambA stava, hariharabheda stuti.
