Notes: 1. The nyAnis who systematically clear the filth are referred here and the fact that they find Lord shiva in the lotus of their heart. (The heart is described as the lotus where the God resides, in many of our literature. It is one of the very important chakra in the form of lotus - anAhata. For a sample malar micai EkinAn mANaDi cErn^thAr - kuRaL Atma lingam mAyApurI hR^idaya pa~Nkaja sanniviShTam - shankara 2. aRupakai - lust, anger, meanness, desire, ego, jealousy. 3. The poet sees a wedding ceremony. For a change it is not the one being performed by the humans, but by the nature itself ! The water itself in the pond still and enriched looks as if it is a carpet. On that there are the conches of various kinds. In the middle there is a red lotus. It is so brilliantly red and bloomed that it looks like the fire in the vedic rite. Well, for the wedding ceremony the puffed rice (pori) needs to be offered on fire, and who would do that ? There is the white flowers of punku tree that fall down on the lotus. There is the wedding ceremony - mocked up by nature - made visible to us by the great child, whose heart is so pure and light that enjoys the God given nature. 4. akan - internal/mind; ceRRu - conquering; pukal - refuge/shelter; puNDarikam - lotus; purANan - ancient one; thakavu - fit; calacam - lotus. ===== --\ ----------- Name of hara encompass !
