Guest guest Posted February 10, 1998 Report Share Posted February 10, 1998 namaskAram! I request our bhakti members' pardons for raising some ignorant questions (as usual!). Can someone please clarify the following doubts for me? 1. What is the reason for some professional prabhandam goshti parAyaNam chanters pronouncing words ending with "enREn" as "ennEn" and "enRu" as "ennu"? amalanAdhipiran 1st pAsuram last line - tirukkamala pAdam vanden kaNNin uLLana vokkinRadE is chanted as tirukkamala pAdam vanden kaNNin uLLana vokkinnadE Does this have anything to do with the vallina Ra following the 'n' sound? The pronunciation pattern is not consistent though. When we learn to chant, are we supposed to learn it as 'vokkinnadE' or 'vokkinRadE'? 2. When tirumangai AzhwAr tried to steal the ring from either perumal or tAyAr in the forest, it seems perumAl said "nam kaliyanO?". What does 'kaliyan' mean? Is this why tirumangai AzhwAr is called 'kaliyan'? adiyEn, Kalyani Krishnamachari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
