Gist

I wonder how viSvAmitra – that royal sage – exulted beholding the curls shining in the face of SrI rAma – the Lord praised by this tyAgarAja - being tossed about with exceeding beauty, -

(a) when subduing the arrogance of mArIca, and

(b) when, understanding the eye signal of the sage, He broke the bow of Lord Siva!

P: I wonder how (eTu) viSvAmitra – that (A) royal (rATTu) sage (muni) (rAN-muniyeTu) – exulted (pongenO) beholding (kani) the (Lord’s) curls (alakalu) being tossed about (allalADaga) (alakalallalADaga)!

A: I wonder how viSvAmitra – that royal sage – exulted beholding the Lord’s curls being tossed about with exceeding (mIraganu) beauty (celuvu),

at the time (vELa) of subduing (aNacE) the arrogance (madamu) (madamaNacE) of mArIca (mArIcuni)!

C: I wonder how viSvAmitra – that royal sage – exulted beholding the curls, shining (ranjillu) in the face (mOmuna) of SrI rAma – the Lord praised (vinuta) (vinutuni) by this tyAgarAja, being tossed about,

at that time (samayamuna) when, He, understanding (telisi) the eye (kanu) signal (saiga) of the sage (muni), broke (viricE) the bow (dhanuvunu) of Lord Siva!
