Hai - we are getting backwards - from SCIT to telusa - Does that tell
something about how things have changed!

Here is my attempt at that samasya:
ka: svagrahamu balimi chEtano
kugraamamu chEre noka sugaatruDu raatrin
agraamya shunakamu trokka
sugreevuni eDama kaalu shunakamu karichen.
Just for those who want to know:
svagrahamu = tana grahamu
kugraamamu = small village
sugaatruDu= good singer
agraamya sunakamu = undomisticated dog
sugreeva = the one who has good voice or neck
Of course any dog would do the job - we need agraamya shnakamu to fit the meter!
Donot ask me why left leg - may be he stepped on the dog -with that - It
was too dark who knows!

Again my crack at it:
athavaa - lEka
kaamapourNimE tR^iteeyaakshyaavalOkana bhayaaya!
- within the anushTup chandas? -
on the kaama pournima day (I think it comes some time in april - I
remember we used to go out from house to house to collect fire wood - or
whatever we can grab and set fire on that night to celebrate)
back to samasya - on kaama pourNima day because of the fear that she may
end up seeing the third eye of Lord Siva being opened -

The mediocresy of the samasya and its related difficulty is because the
Ekaadasi, saptami and Edu ghaDiyalu are unrelated. Anyway here is my
attempt-
ka. E kavaLambunu dorukaka
bEkaari tirigenu, naaru mugiyaga, nenchen
ninkO nuuriki pOvan,
Ekaadasi naaDu, saptami, EDE ghaDiyal.
Little explanation for those who want:
for the bEkaari it is Ekaadasi even if it is not really Ekadasi
day(11th day) since he did not get any kavaLamu - But perhaps because it
was an Ekaadasi day and mostly vaishanvates live in those six villages he
did not get any kavalamu! - saptami ki - he has already finished six (uurlu
tirigi) inka Edava uuru ku pOvutaku - Edu ghaDiyale unnadanukunToo.
The yati panDits in the net can tell me if the yati is valid between ba
and ma since both belong to pa-varga
Any corrections to improve are always welcome.
