SrI:
Dear SwAmin,
I heard the following explanation in a discourse for Swami Desikan's
composition of Achutha Sathakam in Prakrutham:
Swami Desikan was so devoted to Lord Devanathan that he considered himself
to be a nAyaki (vEnkatanAyaki) in love with the Lord. In those days, women
were more comfortable with Prakutham than Sanskrit. As Swami Desikan
had become a nAyaki, to be consistent with this thought, he could have
composed Achutha Sathakam in Prakrutham.
dAsan,
Venkatesh.
