Infact, the comments by both SyAmala Rao gAru and mAdhav kumAr gAru
were educative for me. Thank you both.

They also said that they could not understand the poem very well,
but before 'vissa'gAru (the author) posts his response, here is what
I could figure out from the poem.

> |ma. kadanam banduna rAju gUlenani, bhUkAntA sutunDantaTan
> | vidaLambaina manambutO janula nuddIpimpagA balkucun
> | 'pRdhivI manDala meppuDun; batini kOlpOvamga gAnOpunE
> | vidhavA? dIrgha sumangaLI bhava!' yanen, viBrAnta cEtaskuDai

bhUkAntA sutuDu = oka pouruDu, bhU kAnta = rAjyamu, bhUpati = rAju

nEpathyamu - One of the denizens of the kingdom is sending this message
to his people while addressing the bhUmAta

Meaning - oka rAju maraNinchinanta mAtrAna rAjya mAta, vidhava kAdu.
adi SASvata arAcakAniki kAraNam kAdu, anducEta O' prajalArA !!
uttEjitulu kanDi and then he is addressing the bhUmAta
as "vidhavA ?? dIrgha sumangaLI Bava", supporting the samasya.

That is what I could do on that and I may be wrong and may be corrected.

Actually I had some difficulty in getting the clear meaning of the other
pUraNa by SrI mEDasAni vAru -

ma. adharI bhUta jayanta sAdRSa Subha vyAhAra soundarya rU-
pa dhRtin, bhUri sumAyudha prakaTa sammOdAvaha sphUrtitO
madhurAnanda rasa prapanca bhara SumbhanmUrtimaddeepta bhA-
vi dhavA! deergha sumangaLee bhava! yanen vibhrAnta cEtaskuDai

What is the meaning of

1. Subha vyAhAramu, 2. SumbhanmUrti and 3. BAvi dhavA ??

Any help ???
