sha. kuulin gaTTaDu, nokka kaaryamunu chEkunDan parOdbhuuta san
kuulambaina dhanambu sarpamu valen kuurchun, duraatmunDu, du
shshiilambaina charitra, mEDi vale vEshhaakaaramunan, talan
vaalambokkaTi lEdu gaani, itaDaa, vaalmeekikin tammuDE
This time I think that yatis almost right in each line! Of course my
confidence can be questioned!
This is Syamala Rao gaari politician's renDava tammuDu- may be on the
second thought his son-in law!
kuuli also means tax. - he is a tax evader.
vaalamu also means hair. In fact, I believe, that is how it ends up as
tOka since tOka has that in the end!
Here I made him completely bald - with vaalambokkaTi lEka - okkaTi means
okkaTi kuuDA!
since vaalmiiki is the one who is born of valmiikamu - paamu puTTa - I
brought his vaalmiiki part with parOdhuuta sankuulambain dhanambu sarpamu
vale- reminding of the sumati shataka padyamu - cheemalu peTTina puTTalu
Here I donot need a comma between valmiiki part and tammuDaa part.
mEdi vale - mEdi panDu chuuDa - Vemana padyam - I presume it is bald!
Suggestions to improve are always welcome.
Hari Om!
