Thanks for everyone who pointed out that 'Evi tallI, niruDu kurisina
hima samUhamulu' was from SrI SrI and NOT from dEvulapalli. Some of
our friends also wanted the full text of Evi tallI and with due thanks
to SrI PALANA, here is the complete text --

From the pages of KhaDga sRshTi by mahAkavi SrIrangam SrInivAsa rAo...

"Evi tallI"
___________

(The snows of yester year by F.Willon ki anukaraNa)

cakravarti aSOkuDekkaDa ?
jagadguru SankaruDu yekkaDa ??
Evi tallI !
niruDu kurisina hima samUhamulu ??

kALidAsa mahA kavIndruni
kavana vAhinilO karangina
ujjayini nEDekkaDammA ?
undi ? cUpincu !

shAjahAn anta:puramulO
shaTpadI sinjAnamekkaDa ?
jhAnsI lakshmI dEvi ekkina
saindhavam nEDEdi tallI ?

rudramAmbA, Badra kALI,
rOshaNOjjwala rOculEvI ?
khaDga tikkana kadana kAhaLa
kaha kaha dhwanulekkaDammA !!

ekkaDammA kRshNa rAyani
bAhu jAgradbADa bAgnulu
bAla candruni brahma nAyuni
prANa vAyuvu lEvi tallI !!

jagadguruvulu, cakravartulu,
satkavISulu, sainya nAdhulu,
mahA vanitalu, mahA rAgjnulu,
kAna rArEmI ??

pasiDi rekkalu visiri kAlam,
pAri pOyina jADalEvI ?
Evi tallI ?
niruDu kurisina hima samUhamulu ??

(SinjANamu = vinTi nAri dhwani, saindhavamu = aSwamu,
rOcissu, rOculu = velugu, kiraNamulu )

PRK gAru can analyze if every stanza follows the 'mutyAla sarAlu'
style.

No, Knowing that this piece is written by SrI SrI did not change my
attitude towards the poem. Infact, I am glad that I came to know of
the piece fully. I like a poem as a poem and analyze it as it is,
irrespective of who wrote it, giving most of the credit to the extent
to which the author is convinced on the subject before putting it
into words. I have the following questions to be answered and would
appreciate any help --

1. shAjahAn anta:puramlO tummedala sinjANamekkaDa ?? ani kavi
hRdayam vilapincaDamlO antarArtham..?? asalu anta:puramlO
tummeda dhwAnamEmiTi, adi E pUla tOTa lOnO ayitE samanjasam gA
unDEdEmO..

2. jagadguru SankaruDinI, kALidAsunI, mahA vIrulendarinO 'Evi tallI'
ani talapOyaDamlO artham undi kAnI, shAjahAn anta:puram SOBalu
nEDu lEvu lEvanaDamlO aucityam..??

3. Is kRshNa rAyalu known for his valory (bAhu jAgradbADabAgnulu)
more than his poetic ability and appreciation. May be viplava
kavi gAriki adi mAtramE kAvAlI anukunTE, idE poem lO mundugA
kALIdAsu gAri kavana sImalanu darSincaDam jarigindi kadA..

On the whole, the sentence alone "Evi tallI niruDu kurisina
hima samUhamulu" left a stronger impression in me than the whole
poem for these inconsistencies.. May be I am missing something
here, Any takers...??

regards..

I agree with your observations that this piece of work by
SriSri has logical+factual inconsistencies. But, this piece
has tremendous flow & beauty which makes it one of my favourites.
One more example to prove beauty & logic cannot go together:-)
