kaimA

 

kaimA representing a long hand also refers to an elephant has also

been used as noun and adjective by AzhwAr-s.

 

What does this hand possess -tusk alluding to wealth and this is what

ThriumangaiAzhwAr mentions in the mAmalla puram pAsuram.The tusks are

being carried sagging the vessels on the sea towards Thriukkadal

mallai. Similarly, the wealth of ThriunaRaiyUr is embedded with this

teeth of the jumbo.

 

'pulam koL nidhik kuvaiyOdu-puzhaik kaimA kaLiRRinamum' The Elpheants

with tusks; kaimA- adjective. Periya Thirumzohi 2-6-6;

 

'pushaik kaimA karik kODum' The tusks of elephants.kaimA-Adjective 6-9-6;

 

 

Here comes however the masterpiece. It is not that PeiryAzhwAt alone

has compared the walking elegance of the Lord with that of the

elephant. Here is the pAsuram from KulasEkarAzhwAr. Dasaratha

chakravarthy does not miss the Lord when he was in exile. He also

yearned for the walk of the Almighty. He longed for the style of the

stroll of Sri Chakravarthith Thirumagan

'kaimAvin nadai anna nadai azhagum ' The elephant like soft walk.

perumAL Thriumzohi 9-6; kaimA-noun.

Is it all on elephants ? more to follow.
