2. कंठीं-नाम — अमृत-वल्ली — तनु-शीतळ. Throat-name-amṛta-vallī-claim. In (my) kaṇṭhī (throat) I will hold the *nāma, the vallī (creeper) of amrta; the tanu will become *śītaḷa-rāhilī (cooled-and-stayed)*.

3. श्री-मुख-साजिरें — लावण्य-अगर. See-lovely-face-claim. I will see the śrī-mukha — sājirē-sundara (lovely-beautiful); the *agara (foremost, distillate) of all lāvaṇyas*.

4. अंग-संग-बाळ — कडिये-न-उतरीं. Body-contact-like-child-claim. I will do anga-sanga (body-contact) like a *bāḷaka (child); I will sit on (your) kaḍī (lap), won't get-down. (Tuka the child climbing into Viṭhōbā's lap.)

5. Tuka: केला-तैसा-होय — मनें-सोय. Mind-has-held-the-line-of-Viṭhōbā-claim. Tuka says: this is what was done; the manas has held the sōya* (line, way, direction) of Viṭhōbā.
