Pallavi - palukulu nuTikenu - may be this should be palukulunu+uDikanu - uDikiJcu - to stop
Anupallavi - it should be ghUrnilla - to roll
ugra tanu - terrible body (tanu - body)
paTa paTayanakanu - kanu is not a separate word - paTa paTa+anakanu
stanamu paTa paTayanakanu - to the shivering of the chest (of on lookers)
mura ripu - enemy of demon mura - slayed by kRSNa
khalata - wickedness

Dulla ( in anupallavi) should be Doola- fall
