1 Nor does it occur anywhere in the poem in this technical sense; bindum in st. 19 means “dot” (anusvāra) over a written letter.
2 In the same st. 11, non-Sanskritists might have been told that śrïaṇṭhas and śvayuvatis in (a) literally mean Śivas and Devïs respectively. In (c), aśra-“angle” seems strange for “petal.” And in (d), can caraṇa- mean “dwelling-place”? At most possibly “course, movement,” but this meaning seems to be nearly restricted to the Veda. Many mss. read bhavana or śaraṇa-, either of which may mean “dwelling-place” and could properly be adopted.
