Notes

Variations - (Pathanthara)
¹ – paNatulAra – This is how it is given in all the books, and the meaning derived is ‘maids’, ‘friends’. However, as per telugu dictionary, ‘paNati’ does not have any such meaning. SrI tyAgarAja uses this word in ‘naukA caritra’ also where it clearly means ‘woman’. The Sanskrit word ‘praNayini’ - and the tad-bhava Telugu word – means ‘a beloved woman’. ‘paNati’ may be the colloquial version of this word. This is more so because the syllable ‘pa’ and ‘pra’ are interchangeably used in telugu in the beginning of certain words – ‘pakkala’ – ‘prakkala’ etc.

² – palikE – paluku. In the present context ‘palikE’ seems to be appropriate.

⁵ – tyAgarAjunitOnu – tyAgarAja nutinitOnu. However, in the books, the meaning derived is ‘with tyAgarAja’. In any case, ‘tyAgarAja nutunitOnu’ is not appropriate in the present context because it would mean 'rAma talking to Himself'.

⁶ – pogaDE - pogaDu.
