	Very interesting poems. I saw this movie a long time ago but
remember nothing about these poems. Just reading them, I am almost
certain that the first two are contemporary - written by someone for the
movie. Many factors point to this. The major ones are: a) the makuTam -
I don't remember seeing any poem attributed to tenAli rAmakRshna with
any makuTam; b) the contemporary quality of thought. In fact, this
movie's main purpose was the same as most progressive literature of that
time - social reform.

	Now to the poems themselves. As I said, I remember nothing about
these poems. So what I am suggesting here is based purely on the
chandassu and some common sense. All of them are sIsams and the proper
line breaks are missing in many cases. So, I simply amend the current
versions a little to place line breaks. Only a letter here and there
needs alteration. Otherwise they are mostly intact. Of course, nothing
beats having the originals. So if someone has these poems in printed
form, let's hear from them!

	An additional laGuvu is needed here but I cann't find one that
keeps it completely coherent. In fact, I doubt if the word "oorakE" is
the right one. If Srinivas garu listens to it again to see if it is a
different word, that helps.

	 My guess is that the missing word is "jwAla". Then the yati
works and also the meaning remains. But I would have preferred a more
powerful word than jwAla but there is room only for a "galam" there.

	two words got guruvulu where there should laGuvulu instead:
maganDu is magaDu and ammakE is ammake. The second parts are fine: the
word "elami" is very frequently used in chandO poetry. A filler word.
