Notes –
Variations -
¹ – sarivArilOna – sarivAralOna.

² – cAladAyenA – cAladAyenO.

³ – callanAyenA – callanAyenO. In keeping with pallavi, ‘callanAyenA’ has been adopted.

⁴ – tArumuAru palku vArilO tattarincaga – tArumArugA balgu vAralu tattarincagA. The latter version gives an opposite meaning than the intended one.

⁶ – jAlamula – jAlamu. As ‘jAlamu’ means ‘multitude’, making it plural as ‘jAlamula’ may not be correct.

References –
⁵ – pAramArthikula – 'paramArtha stuti' by svAmi dEsikan.

Comments -
² – cAladAyenA – Sarcastic statement.

³ – callanAyenA – A ridicule.
