Guest guest Posted June 23, 1999 Report Share Posted June 23, 1999 Additional comments on verse 2: In this verse shrI dIkshita offers a reason for telling his plights to ambaaL. SHE is omniscient, she knows everything, why do we in spite of this tell HER our problems and worries and ask for help? By the question, Can I tell you (avedyatAm kim) what you do not know (aviditam), dIkshita implies that there is nothing SHE does not know. Even then (athApi), what needs to be told (vaktavyam), if left unsaid (anuktam), the wounds of the heart will not heal ( antara rujopa samAya nAlam). For this purpose (iti arthase), he request HER to give him a patient hearing (shravane nidhAtum). This is also an apology for telling HER what She already knew. It is not that the devotee is questioning Her omniscience or doubting that SHE will not take care without request. By telling out loud (in tamil, pulambinAl dukkam thIruvathu pola), the devotee gets a psychological relief. In this verse shrI mInAkShI devI is referred to as malaydhvaja pAndya's daughter (malayadhvaja pANDya kanye). ------ eGroups.com home: - Simplifying group communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what better person than Her itself ? ------ eGroups.com home: - Simplifying group communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
