Hello Friends,

The Sloekam 'toorNamaane........' and 'parNaani.......',
was recited by Bhavabhuti(?) and Kalidasa as a veiled
offer for the girl's services for that night!

Tapi Dharma Rao (saahitya mormoraalu?) cites this and concludes
that the girl took Kalidasa's 'offer' since it was more poetic 
and certaily a better offer. Ofcourse, she was a prostitute with
better tastes!

I fail to understand how such soft-porno pukkiTi puraaNa kathalu
can be in any way helpful in "tracing the transformations of
these words".

Regards & Thanks
Vasu.
