Thank you to those members who replied on list Nagaraj Paturi, Rajam and to those who replied off-list, Andrew Ollett and Yūto Kawamura.
An especial thanks to Madhav Deshpande for his superb article.
On page 430 of that article he wrote:

 . . . in the passage śrīsavitāsūryanārāyaṇadevatāprītyartham . . . Here, the expression devatāprityartham is a genuine classical Sanskrit expression. . . The form savitā is a hanging nominative form, which cannot be grammatically justified in this context. One would expect the form savitṛ to appear in the compound. However, the vernacular-speaking audience, and the priest himself, have a greater recognition of the nominative form savitA than he abstract base-form savitṛ. The nominative Sanskrit form savitā has been inherited by Marathi, but not the abstract base-form savitṛ.


Is the form  dhātā  in dhātāśaṅkaramohinī in Verse 5 of the kuṇḍalinīstavaḥ also a vernacular  form.  Verse 5 of the  kuṇḍalinīstavaḥ is :

dhātāśaṅkaramohinī tribhuvanacchāyāpaṭodgāminī
saṁsārādimahāsukhapraharaṇī tatra sthitā yoginī
sarvagranthivibhedinī svabhujagā sūkṣmātisūkṣmā parā
brahmajñānavinodinī kulakuṭī vyāghātinī bhāvyate


Thanks,

Dear list members,

Thanks,
