hari danced with jatis as (the sounds as) tattata dhimita dhimiki

This should read

chittaja pitanuttama muttina gottugaLa(?) kuttigeyoLagADuta

the father of manmatha, with excellent pearl jewels swinging in his neck (danced as tattata dhimita ....)

Lakshman wrote:C1: hAra padaka kEyura kirITavu dhIra bApuriyadu vIra hoLeyutire
mArajanaka sukumAra sAraguNa sAndra mahima hari

The supreme Hari, father of manmatha, with sparking necklaces, crowns and other ornaments (danced as tattata dhimita .....)

Lakshman wrote:2: mandagamanayeru brnda brndadali canda nODutire A
nanda gOpana kanda mukunda nityAnanda

With groups of girls watching the son of Nanda (dancing as tattata ...)

Lakshman wrote:3: kankaNa vankiyu kinkiNi ravagaLu shanka cakra divya pankaja
mAleyu shankhagaLa shrI purandara viTTala vEdAnta vEdya krSNa

Krisnna, known to the vedas and vedantas as purandara viThala himslef, adorned with armlets, rings, shanka chakra and garlands (danced as tattata ...)

-Ramakriya

p.s: I am not sure about gottugaLa

Would this line make more sense if it is read this way?
A: cittaja pitanuttama muttina gottu gaLguttiyoLaget-yADuta

"gottugaLa" is correct. "gottu" has 2 meaning of "bunch" (goncalu, same as kottu in tamizh) and also as "mark" (gurutu). "uttama muttina gottugaL kuttigeyoLagADuta" means "neck where bunches of high-quality pearls are dancing" where gottu takes the first meaning.
