As nArAyaNa in abhirAmi antAdi

[Guest guest]

In abhiraami antaadi, at one place, bhaTTa address ambaaL

directly as nArAyaNa. It comes in the verse "thi~NgaT pagavin

....". The term he uses is "tara~Nga kaDaluL ve~NkaT paNi aNai mel

thuyil kuuRum vizhupporuLe"

 

Which means one who sleeps on the fiery eyed snake bed on the

wavy ocean. That is one sleeps on AdisheSha.

 

tara~Ngak kaDal - Wavy ocean

 

ve~NkaN - vevviya kaNkaLai uDaiya - that is fiery eyed

 

paNi - this is Sanksrit phaNi which means snake

 

aNai - bed

 

mel - on top of it

 

thuyil - sleep

 

kURum - having the characteristic of

 

vizhupporuLe- vizhumiya poruLe - essence. Probably we can

take this as essence or basis of all. That is brahman.

 

 

At other places he uses the standard reference as sister of

nArAyaNa. But this verse dramatically ends referring HER as

nArAyaNa. Ofcourse more dramatic is the verse of shivAnandalaharI
