paasurappadi raamayaNam

[Guest guest]

Sri PeriyavAcchAn PiLLAi's Paasurapadi RamAyaNam

is indeed a beautiful version to recite.

His genius in weaving a garland out of

the flowers of the AzhwArs' anubhavams

into a coherent whole is amazing indeed.

Thanks Sri Mani Varadarajan for reference to this

magnificient work by the VyAkhAyana Chakravarthi

on the the Surya Kula Chakravarthi.

Thanks to Srimathi Vaidehi KrishNa for the translation.

I used to have a fragment of this AruLiccheyal by

PeriyavAcchAn Pillai .I can not ind it . If some one of our group

has a full copy , I will volunteer to connect the

pieces of this " Jigsaw puzzle " by attempting to

identify the different word groups with the original sections

of the Pasurams in consultation with other knowledgable

members of the group and share it with you . The bonus

will be the understanding of the meanings of the individual

words or groups of words.

Please let me knw , if anyone has the Tamil text of the

Paasurapadi RamaayaNam .Thanks.

You can fax it to me at 914-923-1103 or mail it to me

at Apt6B-1 , Scarborough Manor , Scarborough , NY 10510

Thanks . V.Sadagopan
