Notes –
Comments -
¹ – smara lObha – the word ‘smara’ means ‘remember’ and ‘lust’. It seems SrI tyAgarAja has used this word (smara) to mean ‘kAma’. If such a meaning is taken ‘kAma, lObha, mOha etc’ will mean the six internal enemies - kAma, krOdha, lObha, mOha, mada, mAtsarya. Otherwise, the word ‘smara’ will need to be translated as the cautionary word ‘Remember!’.
