A Peep into Periya ThriuMozhi 160

praNaya kalaham

(concluded)

 

peN-arasu nADAyiRREA

 

 

One can understand the feeling generated after going through the

write-up on praNaya kalaham. Yes, the empahty of several members

definitely gets transformed into sympathy towards the male crab,

which innocently stands like an elementary shcool boy seeking entry

into the classroom.

 

It is said the love is rewarded with more love. The sincere love and

affection of the alavan, not only put it into a ordeal prone night

but at the end of the day ( night) it had to confront diffucult

questioning, standing under the rain of dewdrops -paNith thali vEzha

nin vAsal kaDai paRRi.

 

It is indeed sad and, observing the crab's commiserative situation,

Sri piLLai thirunaRaiyUr araiyar exhibits similar sympathies and asks

Sri bhaTTar " If one did indeed make a mistake, is it just to punish

without necessary due diligence?Should not the award be handed over

only after due enquiries?" 'why this has not been done ?" was his

question.

 

Pat came the reply " en seivOam, kEALvi illAdha padi, peN arasu nADAyiRREA!"

 

This timing reply by bhaTTAr is indeed typical to him. This being

nAchiyAr kOil, the philoshopy of 'ladies first' is followed and he

alluded to that as ' peN arasu nADAyiRREA'

 

What can we say:

Is it because that he felt that they think from their hearts and not heads?

Or is it due to the fact that sentiments overtake logic?

or is it due to their inherent nature -- whcih can be drawn from

contemporary parallell -autocratic decisions without consultations

taken firmly only to be reversed after a few days?

or is it due to the fact that obsession of men is being exploited?

 

 

Can somebody clarify whether this is compliment, observation or a disqualification?
