This stotra does not seem to be the unitary composition of an author but just a collection of verses on the deity current locally; the fourth here, the AnuShTubh, is a well-known verse with the variant vetra-pAshANA, and the fifth is believed to have been uttered by a SrivaiShNava teacher who was passing via Kalahasti in a palanquin; he had closed his eyes and drawn the curtain of his conveyance as he did not want the sight of the temple of the Lord at Kalahasti to fall on his eyes, but when, after having passed on to a safe distance from that great shivA shrine, he opened his eyes, he became incapable of seeing anything in the world.  He then uttered his verse sarvAtmatA te shrutishu prasiddhA, etc.
