Vitthala, Pundalika and Panduranga

[Dominique.Thillaud]

>I am researching a chant - Jaya Jaya Vitthala. Would anyone know who
>Pundalika and Panduranga are and what is the significance of Vitthala, who I
>believe is the incarnation of Visnu, standing on a brick. Also is there
>significance in the names? The dictionary, i.e. Monier-Williams, does not
>indicate that.

        Are you sure of your transcription ? That would be easier if the
names were puNDarIka, pANDuraGga and viTThala! Under this last name your
dictionary will answer you fully.
