Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Dear All., my little bit of information as follows: "Kannan" in tamil is simply the one who possess THE eyes (kangalai udaiyavan - kannan; here srikrishna's divya eyes). there are lots of adjectives such as kamalakkannan, thaamaraikkannan (both meaning lotus like eyes.. ) other examples are: Tholan (the one who possesses THE (divya)shoulders) Saarngan (the one who possess Saarngam - the bow; saarngathai udaiyavan) Kaadhan (the one who possesses THE ears) e.g. magaranedunkuzhaikkaadhan (thenthirupperai perumal name) Kaalan (the one who possesses the divine legs) thalaikkaalan - thalai - an ornament for the legs; "Thalaikkalan pin ponaal" - siriya thirumadal (thirumangai azhvar) "Naangu tholan kuni saarngan" Thiruvaimozhi (Nammazhvar). sometimes it is helpful to look into simple straight forward meanings - rather than indirect, round about, complicated interpretations..
