I totally agree, but I failed so far to acquire any pointer also where
that could be available. The closest ones I found are:
(1) Series of publications from Tirumala Tirupati Devastanams under the
editorialship of Sri Jandhyala Papayya Sastri. All the 12 skandamulu
of Potana Bhaagavatamu are translated. The bad thing about it is that it
has "vyaakhyaanamu" but no "prati padaartamu". The worst thing about
it is, some of the volumes are just not available. I got whatever
was available when I went to Tirupati few months ago. Looks like no
one wants to print them, as they dont know if they will be bought and
that is the sad end of the story.
(2) A very nice book "Bhaagavata Ratnaalu" discusses on some selected
poems of Potana in great detail, although it also does not give the
exact meanings of words involved.
The problem is those words sometimes are not just in the dictionary
and even if they are, it is unclear as to which one to use in certain
contexts. The best ex. about that is the "hari sutu paricaru gaa goni.."
poem that Prabhaakar gaaru explained in this series earlier.
I sincerely appreciate any pointers..
