I very much agree with the above comments but hasten to state my posts
on Verse#4 of the kAmAsikAshtakam must NOT be regarded as anything more
than mere "musings" of a free-wheeling lover of Desikan's poetry. I
don't think there is anything remotely "scholarly" about them.

I often recite or mutter this delightful hymn to myself in a week ... 
as I drive to work or as I take an evening stroll. But very rarely do I
actually reflect on phrases or expressions in the poem at length as I
have done on the "list" the past few weeks.

I am doing little more than just "thinking aloud" in my posts.
Please indulge me my small, harmless pleasures, if you don't mind.
Thank you, Sir,
adiyEn,
sudarshan
