The poet writes:
svayamabhibhavo$stvityati which is:
svayaM abhibhavaH astu iti (+ati) = let him be self-defeated etc.'
I just took the liberty to change just a couple of letters here to:
svayamabhibhavaShTivatyati which is:
svayaM abhibhavaH ShTivati (+ati) = spits back (his words) to self-defeat etc.,
rAmaH

I am following this shAradA stotra discussion only
superficially.
I see the structure of each verse as such:
athetyopamAM tAM - tathetyopamAM tAm
athetyopamAM tAM - tathetyopamAM tAm
athetyopamAM tAM - tathetyopamAM tAm
bhaje shAradAmbAM ajasram madAmbAm |
i.e.,
dvitIyAnta-name-rhyme dvitIyAnta-name-rhyme
dvitIyAnta-name-rhyme dvitIyAnta-name-rhyme
dvitIyAnta-name-rhyme dvitIyAnta-name-rhyme
bhaje shAradAmbAM ajasram madAmbAm |
i.e.,
to thus-described woman, to thus-described woman,
to thus-described woman, to thus-described woman,
to thus-described woman, to thus-described woman,
to her, to shAradA ambA, to my mother, I ceaselessly
pray.
Note that I prefer that ajasram be associated with
bhaje (I ceaselessly pray), rather than with madambAm
(ceaselessly my mother). As is known, one's regular
birth mother is ceaselessly one's mother (even when
she sleeps)! Ceaselessness is hardly the adorable
feature of one's mother, her other excellent qualities
are.
Back to structure: in fact, each of the half-lines can
go with bhaje
svabhaktaikapAlAM (bhaje)
yashashshrIkapolAM (bhaje)... etc.
Thus, each of these terms can only either be either a
tatpurushha samAsa (a compound in which the final
sub-term is the referrent) or a bahuvrIhi samAsa (a
compound in which none of the sub-terms is the
referrent but someone/something else).
svabhaktaika-pAlA (final sub-term protectress,
tatpurushha)
yashashshrIkapolAM (fame-divine prosperity-cheeks, the
referrent is outside, "she with this stuff",
bahuvrIhi)
Given the structure of the verse, for balance,
symmetry and meaningfulness, I get a feeling that
"kare tu akshharamAlAm", a non-tatpurushha,
non-bahuvrIhi phrase, does not fit.
This message above is very presumptuous for someone
barely reading the shlokas and discussion. I have
found some of the interpretations too fanciful for
understanding, but have no better suggestion to make.
ata eva xamAshIlAH budhA iti matir-me |
Sethurama-gazh came to a similar rejection of kare-tu,
but at least he made a reasonable suggestion :-)
