[INDOLOGY] Meaning of parikarman

[Buchta, David]

Hi Palaniappan,

The word occurs in the *Bhāgavata* at 2.9.29, 4.23.11, and 9.15.17
(numbering according to J. L. Shastri's edition with Śrīdhara's
commentary). Śrīdhara glosses it at 2.9.29 with *sevā*, and at 4.23.11 and
9.15.17 with *paricaryā.*

I hope this helps.

Best,
Dave
