This devotional song is a heartfelt hymn of gratitude addressed jointly to Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna (Vishnu). The devotee praises Shiva as the ultimate origin and the embodiment of love who listened to prayers for a child and granted divine blessings abundantly. The song then shifts focus to Lord Krishna, acknowledging his divine sports and praising him for blessing the family with double the happiness prayed for, seeing the divine presence within the children.
