1 BEING COMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS. Under Copyright law, compilation
refers to a collection of literary works formed by collecting and
assembling preexisting materials or data that are selected, coordinated, or
arranged in such a way that the resulting product constitutes an original
work of authorship. The term "compilation" includes collective works. 8.
PERSONS OTHER THAN THOSE ACTUALLY DOING THE UNAUTHORISED ACTS MAY ALSO BE
LIABLE FOR INFRINGEMENT • Whoever “authorizes” infringement is himself also
an infringer • Knowingly assisting or encouraging infringement may make a
person liable, in some jurisdictions, as a contributory infringer • A
defendant who profits from an infringement committed under his supervision
or control may also be an infringement {Vicarious liability is not
excluded}. 2. INFRINGEMENT IS NOT AVOIDED EVEN IF THE DEFENDANT ADDS HIS
OWN ORIGINAL WORK TO THE WORK TAKEN.A bona fide error is *an unintentional
mistake or oversight that may be corrected promptly to avoid exposure to
legal action*. ... A bona fide error, in law, acknowledges a mistake but
maintains that it was unintentional. In this case, the burden of proof is
on the accused. Hope it is understood that "above,in spite of '' etc is not
against the patent grave mistakes. So edit well , understand the
correctness and produce or else the ignorance is culled out of the wood or
stone.
2 Nārāyanīyam is the story of Lord Narayana. It is a work consisting
of *1035 slokas or verses, divided into 100 dasakams or chapters*, each
dasakam consisting of approximately 10 slokas. It is a condensed
version of Bhagavata
Purana, which consists of 18,000 slokas authored by Veda Vyasa. * Dasakam:

This Brahmanda or Cosmic Egg lay for a thousand years in the primal water
created earlier. Then exploding it, Thou came in the form called Virata
Purusha of the fourteen worlds. In that form Thou shone as the total form
of all individual souls with thousands of hands, feet and heads. Oh
Guruvayurappa ! May that divine form of Thine be the saviour of all my ills.
Dasaakam 6 is cosmic body description. As based on Bhagavatha purana with
a kamya karma at the end of the verses, VISHNU is highlighted. There is a
difference in the evolution described ,differing from the Purusha suktham
of the Rig Vedam
3 * Srishti and vrishti* I wrote a long article which will give
better idea as that was from a sage. Bragma from the nabhi of mahavishnu is
not found in the original suktham of the Rig vedam. Incidentally for those
who express their ignorance on Sukti apart from the lexicon that may be
referred to can be seen here as: Verse 2.3.94 Part 3 - Involuntary
Ecstatic Expressions (sattvika-bhāva)

great reverence to the goddess of liberation, who had just arrived in front
of him.” Sukti is a usage of clever expressions, conch shell and many more
meanings. KR iRS 111221

>
> Narada was a great diplomat. He flattered the Asura and vehemently criticized
