nNappiNnNnai

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I had always been thinking that nappiNnNnai refers to aaNdaaL.

In periya thirumozhi, 2'm paththu, 3'm thirumozhi, 5'm paasuram

"iNnthuNai padhumaththu alarmagaL thaNnakkumiNnbaNn

nNaRpuvi thaNnakkiRaivaNn

thaNnthuNai aayar paavai nNappiNnNnai thaNnakkiRai maRRaiyORkellaam

vaNnthuNai ....... thiruvallikkENi kaNdENnE."

 

In this paasuram, thirumaNGgai mannar clearly explains:

he talks about the perumaaL and says he, the one who very much likes his

consort, the alarmagaL(lakshmi), the one who is the lord of

bhoomadhEvi(naRpuvi thaNnakku iRaivaNn) and the one, only whom the aayar

girl nNappiNnNnai considers as her thuNaivaNn.. and the one who supports

everybody else..

 

here nNappiNnNnai is referred to as the aayar girl to which aaNdaaL

belongs and he talks about his consorts alarmagaL and bhoomadhEvi and in

this context aaNdaaL fits clearly as she was madly in love with the

perumaaL who had sridhEvi and bhoodhEvi as his consorts and puts

everybody ELSE as a different category other than perumaaL's consorts.

so i think nNappiNnNnai refers to aaNdaaL, the choodik koduththa

chudaRkodi.

 

i have a doubt: the term nNappiNnNnai was explained as nNal + piNnNnai.

but according to the sandhi syntax, wont it be nNaRpiNnNnai (adami

style). as in nNal + peN = nNaRpeN and kal + paaRai = kaRpaaRai.

could somebody clarify?

thanks
