nAcciyAr tirumozhi III-kaNNan's vastrApaharaNam

pAsuram 3.3 (third tirumozhi - pAsuram 3 ellE Idenna iLamai)

 

 

A. Translation from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh treatise:

 

In this pASuram, ANDAL reminds kaNNan that He is none other than Lord

rAma and asks Him if it is appropriate that a great maHAvIran like

Him acts childishly and steals girls' clothes on the pond side and makes

them stand naked.

 

" Oh, rAmA, who destroyed lanKA with your great kOdaNDam! People will

slight you if news spreads that you have insulted us by taking away our

clothes! Don't you ever think of honor or shame? If our mothers know about

this, they will never let us come near you! At least, please think about that.

Oh, kurumbA (mischievous boy), who is sitting on the kurundai tree! Please

give us our clothes. We will give you anything you wish! We will run away

before the village people come here. Oh, lotus eyed kaNNA! Enough of this

test!"

 

ellE! Idu enna iLamai? em manaiyAr kANil oTTAr

pollA~ngu Idu enRu karudAi pUngurundu ERi irutti

villAl ila~ngai azhittAi! nI vEndiyadu ellAm taruvOm
