A Special pAsuram

[Guest guest]

Excellent Sri Vasudevan swAmi. I have enjoyed this pAsuram whenever I think or recite this.

Shall i take the privilege of drawing a more or less similar pAsuram:

 

"aravam adal vEyam Ankurundham puLvAi

kuravai kudamulai maRkunRam- karivinRi

vittirundhu, mEAithosithu kEndu kOthAdi

vuNdu attedutha, sengan avan" mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 54

 

To be readjusted as:

 

aravam vittirundhu

adal vEyam iruthu

An mEithu

kurundham osithu

puLvAi kENdu

kuravai kOthu

kudam Adi

mulai vuNdu

mal attu

kunRam eduthu.

 

aravam vittirindhu: - drove away the kAlian;

adal vEyam iruthu - vanquishing the elephant kuvalaiyApEtam

A(n) mEithu - Taking care of the cows;

kurundham osithu - destroying the demon in the form of kurundham;

puLvAi kENdu - bakAsura vadham;

kuravai kOthu - rAsak krEdai

kudam Adi - kudak kUthu

mulai vuNdu - bhUdhanai s mulai ( vuyir ) vuNdu

mal attu - killing the wrestlers

kunRam eduthu - picking up the goverdhana giri.

 

Great poetic sense indeed. The gramattical greatness has already been

explained by sri. vasudevan swami.

 

I am able to realise the value of the words of swAmi maNavALa mAmunigaL 'mARRuLla AzhwArgaLukku

munnEA vandhudhithu nAthamiyAl nAttai vuytha" vupadhEsa rathinamAlai.

 

Great indeed

Dear SrI VaishNavAs,

 

Wonderful pAsurams.

 

In tamizh, we call this as 'koNDu kooTTup poruLkOL' aNi. ('aNi'

means 'decoration' in a sense)

 

As mentioned, it needs poetic skills to understand the meaning of

such poems.

 

Also, being an AzhvAr pAsurams, it needs AchArya anugraham to

understand the direct meaning and inner meanings.

 

Thanks to SrI.Vasudevan svAmi and SrI.Padmanabhan.
