Sri Vari's posting on Vemana poem - cheppu ...
remained me of the sumati shatakam poem -
aDigina jiitam bivvani
miDimElupu doranu golichi miDugutakanTen
vaDigala yeddala gaTTuka?
maDidunnuchu bratuka vachhu madilO sumatii?
Not sure of the correctness of the second half.
The author's intended meaning of the first line - aDigni jiitam bivvani
- Does the author mean - 1. aDiginaanuu jiitamu ivvani or
2. aDiginanta jiitamu ivvani
both may be valid interpretations -
It all depends on the availability of alternatives - Vadigala yeddulu and
maDi and the skill to do that job.
Hari Om!
