Variations

• ¹navvucu – muDucucu : navvulu – muDukucu : navvulu – muDukucu - is wrong.
• ³ravikayu – ravika
• ⁴tagunu – tanuvu : tanuvu - is wrong.
• ⁶uramuna jErcucunu – uramuna joccucunu : uramuna joccucunu - is wrong.

Commentary

• ²koppuna puvvula muDucucu – duvvucu kurulanu – tying flowers on the chignon – combing the curls – this may either refer to themselves (Gopis) or to Krishna.
• ⁵sokkucu sOlucu – This indicates a state of stupefaction – these words are normally used together and they, individually, mean same thing.
