Thank you for the quick response but the sahithyam in the Youtube link I posted is different than the above posted response. I request you to kindly look another look at the link. Thank You.

You are correct. The caraNa sAhityA ids different. Some of the words are very difficult to figure out.
corrections welcome:

The tillAnA lyrics, except for the caraNA are exactly the same as the composition posted in #2. Someone must have composed the caraNa later on.
