Hello everybody!

The following message is sent by the listprocessor of telusa when I subscribed
to the list.  The poem needs a small correction (if it is intended to be
a metric poem. Otherwise, no problem!)

The phrase 'sampratincedanu' is too short to give two indra ganas. 
'sampradincedaminka' is a possible modification.

The last line is vague and inconsistent with the first three lines. (my opinion
only). yati/prasa is also not followed. If the intention is to tell the new 
comer that they  trust  him/her in being wise and polite in discussions, it can
be put as:

'nammi telusa iTaku mimmu pilace'

I don't think  it is just a vacanam whose first lines incidentally suited ATaveladi
chandas though ATaveladi is indeed very 'saraLam' and can be composed 'asuvugA'
without much effort.

regards,
vari
