This verse has (IMO) two not so common words. aththan means Father, refers to Lord shiva and vETTavaL (please correct me) means "She who has married". It comes from the word vETTal, which means marriage. In this context, it refers mInAxI who has married our Father who bears ganges, crescent moon, and golden colored laburnum flowers on his head (ko^nRai malar). For non-Tamil readers. a~NgayaRkaNNi means mInAxI. am+ kayal + kaNNi. kayal means fish, kaN means eye, and am means beautiful. The word literally means beautiful-fish-eyed-lady. The tamil word anthaathi is derived from the Skt anta+ Adi= antAdi. That is last word the present verse will becomes first word of the next verse. Thanks again to Sridhar, I look forward to reading this series. Ravi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
