Guruvu gaaru - I appreciate your sentiments. Let my puurana not stop your
intended puurana - Please do complete it and post it. This is all fun any way
and for me it is a learning process.
with the RIT corrections in the second line the Purana is
Ma. nidhanambul maNimaaNyamul vadali soubhaagyambulan sarvamul,
vidhiyuktambuga sarvasammatamugaa cEpaTTe nalpaayunin,
prudhivin kyatiyu ponde, dharmajuDu preetin tannu deevincutuu
`vidhavaa! deergha sumangalee bhava!,` yanen vibhraanta cEtaskuDai ||
Frankly I am not that happy with the connection between the first three lines
and the fourth. First three lines give the impression of the remoteness in time
and with` yanen` in the fourth line, I get the feeling that the aaSeervaadamu is
rather recent! I tried to put `deevinpagaa` but somehow it did not fit `yanen`
- deevincutuu brings it closer to the current. Well yama also called Kaala -
and with the sayings: KaalO jagat bakshakaha - he can swallow these inadequacies
too!
I am not sure, I got the yatis right - One can of course easily blame my guru,
P.R. for that. The fact of the matter is I have a limited vocabulary to find
the right words to suite the meaning, ganas and yati. I guess Good rachita or
some other on-line synonyms would help in composition.

I have a feeling the vidhiyuktambuga is right - It could mean as per the
scriptures or as per the accepted tradition. Vidhi - vyutparti can be -
viSEshEna dhi - dhi means buddhi -- vidhi can also mean Brahma. Here it should
stand as vEdavihitamugaa.
I donot know if vidhayuktambuga means any thing.
Pundits in the telusa can clarify Prasad gari prasna.
Hari Om!
