Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 For a question about this name of trishatii, I mentioned that shankara in his commentary explains that haahaa and huuhuu are two gandharva-s. Yesterday while reading Book III - Chapter IV of devii bhagavatham, I found a reference to these gandharva-s haahaa and huuhuu praising ambaaL. It is interesting to note that how some of these puraaNic legends find a day-today usage. I have heard in Tamil a cliche "to praise like haahaa and huuhuu" (for instance, chumma haahaa huuhuu_nnu pugazhaatha). It often used when someone is praised sky-high. ===== ambaaL daasan Ravi sharaNAgata raxakI nivEyani sadA ninnu nammiti mInAxI http://www.ambaa.org/ http://www.advaita-vedanta.org GeoCities - quick and easy web site hosting, just $8.95/month. http://geocities./ps/info1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
