[edit] Variations
- 1suguNAlaya – suguNAlaya rAma - suguNAlaya (rAma)
- Charana 2 is not found in some books; in some books ‘nA manaserigi balkumikanu’ is given as an alternative to ‘kalakAlamula nI sEva rA jEsE’. In some books ‘nA manaserigi balkumikanu’ is also given after 'kalakAlamula nI sEva rA jEsE' as part of the Charana.

[edit] Commentary
- 2tarAna lEni – The form of the word 'tarAna' is not clear.
- Wordings of Charana 2 runs counter to what is contained in Anupallavi (nanu brOvaga rAdA) and Charana 1 (manniJca rAdA), Charana 3 (palka rAdA) and Charana 4 (vEgamE telusukO). This caraNa, either with 'kala kAlamuna nI sEva rA jEsE' or with 'nA manaserigi palkumikanu' or with both, is not complete and does not make proper sense. This Charana is considered as an interpolation.
