Notes
Variations - (Pathanthara)
2 - caraNamu golicEnammA – In all books, it is given as ‘SaraNamu golicEnammA’. The meaning derived is ‘I surrender to You’. The word ‘golucu’ (kolucu) means ‘serve’, ‘worship’. It does not have any meaning as ‘surrender’. In the previous line, it is mentioned ‘pAda kamalamunu kOritini’ (I sought Your feet lotus). Accordingly, in this line also, it should be ‘caraNamu’ (feet) and not ‘SaraNamu’. It has accordingly been adopted and translated.
