rAmah, cumbati, rAvansya vadanam, seetaa, viyOgAturah.
This is a type-4 solution for the samasya:
rAmaScumbati rAvaNasya vadanam seetaaviyOgAturah
What is a type-4 solution? What are the other types? Later.

PS: Inquiring minds want to know what a sanskRta samasya is doing in these
hollowed grounds. It is serving to illustrate "samasya pUraNa techniques",
of which I have identified five thus far. In my arbitrary numbering scheme,
the way the above samasya was solved is technique #4. Of course, it could
have easily been illustrated by a "telugu" samasya, with a type 4 solutio
I didn't remema complete samasya of that type in telugu. I do remember
the tag line though. It is:
rAdhEyuDu nandinekki rAvaNu jampen!
which was completed as: (told you I didn't remember the full poem)
rAdhEyuDu, nandinekki, rAvaNu jampen.
(I didn't have this rationale for posting a sanskRta poem in the telugu group
three days ago, when I posted it. Now I do)
