In some books, the order of caraNas is given differently.
1 – pAdAravindamulaku – pAdAravindamunaku.
2 – anga yugamu – anga yuramu : As ‘uramu’ is appearing again in caraNa 3, ‘anga yugamu’ may be correct going by the sequence – feet, lap, chest, face.
3 – pogaDucuNDE – pogaDucuNTE – pogaDucuNDu : ‘pogaDucuNTE’ is wrong.
