xIragata = in milk as ‘vishada’ rUpa  (indicating a tender state of food)

rasarUpagaLu = number of rUpa-s

munnUrumyAle aivattu nAlaku = 354 rUpa-s (indicating vi = 4, sha = 5, da = 3 and as per “aMkAnAM vAmatOgatiH” we get 354)

chAru = manOj~nAna (manOhara) – delicious taste

ghR^itagata rUpagaLu = in ‘tuppa’ or well cooked butter (indicating a tougher state of food) as ‘sthira’ rUpa

ippattarOMbhattu = 29 rUpa-s (indicating sthi =sa+tha =7+2=9 and ra=2, by reading reverse we get 29)

sAraguDadoLu = in ‘bella’ or jaggery (indicating a ripened state of food) as ‘tIxNa’ rUpa

aidusAvira nUru oMdu surUpa = 5101 rUpa-s (indicating tI = 1, xa = 10, Na = 5 and by reading reverse we get 5101)

phalagaLali = in ripe fruits as ‘nirahara’ rUpa

dvisahasra = 2000

AreraDu shata = (6+2)x100 = 800

paMchaviMshati rUpa = 25. Thus to be taken as 2825 (indicating ni = 5, ra = 2, ha = 8, ra = 2 and by reading reverse we get 2825

 

The above could be summarized as under

Item            rasa vishESha   signifying numbers      no.
