Versified in Malayalam

The English participle has no match here. കാരിക (karika) is a noun, a doctrine or rule set out in verse, the kind of versified summary once used to teach grammar and medicine. Say kaa-ri-ka.

Dictionary entry

The same entry carries an unrelated sense, an actress or an actor's wife, so the verse meaning is clear only from context.
