In some books, anupallavi is treated as caraNam 1. 3 – pilicitE – pilacitE : ‘pilicitE’ seems to be the correct usage. Comments - 1 – nA manavi – The pallavi is in singular form whereas the anupallavi and caraNas are in plural. Therefore ‘nA’ has been translated as ‘our’ in anupallavi and caraNas. 2 – kanakAGa – golden bodied – Refers to utsava mUrti – because, in caraNa 1, SrI tyAgarAja mentions ‘teruvuna rAka’ –‘coming in procession’ in the streets of SrI ranga on Horse (vAhana). 4 – rAja satulu – royal ladies - As this kRti is in ‘nAyaki bhAva’, this word would refer to bhAgavatas – great devotees. The same is true in respect of words ‘kAntalu’ and ‘taruNulu’ in anupallavi and caraNam 2 also.
