tIyatEniya: nArI nArInaDuma murArI...

From lIlAs'ukA's srI kRSNakarNamRta:

a.nganAm a.nganAm antare mAdhavo
mAdhavaM mAdhavaM cA 2natreNA 2.nganA |
ittham Akalpite maNDale madhyagaH
saMjagau veNunA devakIna.ndanaH ||

This is my English translation:
Between two young women was a Madhava;
Between two Madhavas was a young woman;
At the centre of a circle formed thus
the son of Devaki played the flute.

The following is my Telugu translation:
angana-kangana madhya mAdhavuDu
mApati-mApati madhyano-kangana
iTulanu kalpita valaya madhyamuna
dEvakitanayuDu vENuvu nUdenu

This is the VipranArAyaNa version:
nArI nArI naDuma murAri
harikI harikI naDuma vayarI
tAnokaDainA talakoka rUpai
manasulu docE rAdhA-mAdhava-kELI-naTanA

Actually this verse, in the metre sragviNi, forms a part of an aSTaka
with the makuTam "saMjagau veNunA devakIna.ndanaH". I am particularly
fond of these poems.
