Commentary
- 2 rAjIvamu – Means ‘blue Lotus Flower’- and ‘a species of fish – Cyprinus niloticus’; looking at other similies used by Sri Thyagaraja in the following Charanas, this word should be translated as ‘fish’ and not ‘lotus’ because, it is the fish – and not Lotus - which will die the moment it is out of water. Though Lotus may also wither away after some time, ‘fish’ seems to be more appropriate.
- 3 cAtaka – bird Cucculus melanoleucus – said to subsist on rain drops.
