Dear Yong Peng,

> Taru.napurisaa, tumhe paapamittehi saddhi.m na bhajeyyaatha.

This should be re-ordered as:
Tumhe taru.napurisaa paapamittehi saddhi.m na bhajeyyaatha.
... since the vocative is used enclitically (i.e., cannot stand at the
beginning of a sentence). See warder p.32.

With metta,
John
