(2) 1. 433. Oh!, SarvakArakanE!, Garuda dwajA!, (The one who has Garuda-flag), MAdhavA!!,since my words do not possess the purity, I am not qualified and do not have the ability to praise you. But still my tongue knows nothing other than your nAmA. Iam scared of the natural quality of this tongue as it is not under my control. Even if you get angry on me for being very aggressive , I cannot regulate my tongue. The learned will take only good things even from the crows cawing. Hence please consider the goodness in my words too. (1) 434: sazhakku n^aakkodu pun_kavi sonnEn*
