A potpourri twist!

Hi there,

Patrons of this blog have become a bit restless on my becoming theme-bitten. So, I go for this freaky post to satiate such souls.

Before we go, time for last post's solutions:

1. It's called Aurum, chemically speaking (7) - Thangam
2. Kanchipuram, Aarni, Dharmavaram, Benaras - All known for this stuff (5) - Pattu
3. A Palindrome for an asylum for saints; Kanchipuram has one (5) - Madam
4. Kanchi skips head and morphs for a nation known for enterprise and trade (5) - China
5. Kanchi thinks for the sake of a close relative (6) - Chithi

Now, it's clue-time!

1. Thandhiram, Pandavas - All add up to this numerical prefix (6)
2. Saras' Mama can be part of a compromise (9)
3. Valmiki recited this to get "Rama" right (9)
4. Deivam, Guru, -----, ----- (5,5)
5. A batsman's century (6)
6. A festival or a breakfast dish, Both! (6)


Luv,

Vijay

3. Silicon ducks in retro for the needle (4) - Oosi
4. Rue, Street, ____ - In our native tongue (6) - Veethi
