May I suggest the above roman spelling for the name of madhura-kavikaL's prabandham ? At any rate, it is not "kanninu*m* ", but "kaNNi-nuN". Another noticeable common mistake occurs in the SAttu-muRai verse, "aDiyArkaL vAzha, ... kaDal-SUzhnda man-n-ulakam vAzha, ..." (the *n* being two-looped, as in, say, "unnai"), Many MIS-recite this as "maN-N-ulakam" (with the voiced three-looped *n*, as in, say, "veNNai"). There are no misprints in the editions of AV Bible, and the old editions with rare misprints (*printers* bible, *vinegar* bible) have become collector-items. Likewise, no errors are tolerated in making the Synagogue scrolls of the Talmud / Torah ~~ and, the calligraphist / katib discards the copy he is making as soon as he discovers an error, and has to start afresh. aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan, tirumanjanam Sundara Rajan, at Srirangam.

I accept thet the first "anban" refers to Sriman NArayana, the second "anban" to Sri Sathakopa and the third "anban" to Sri Madhura Kavi. Lover, friend and devotee appear to be the respective meanings of the word "anban" in the three contexts. Regards,TCASrinivasaramanujan T. C.
