'Gamagamaroopa' in Bho Sambho .

[Sivaramakrishnan]

I have been wondering what's the oft heard word 'Gamagamaroopa ' sung by many in the charana part of the popular 'Bho sambho ' in Revati means. What's the correct version?

Thanks for the clarifications on the saahitya.

Singers invariably pronounce 'gama gama ' and not correctly as 'gamAgama'.

It is the 'most danced' kriti too!
