A Peep into Periya ThiruMozhi 202

[Guest guest]

It is Greean All around

 

Visualise streams and ponds flowing up and down. rivulents going on

one side. Greean fileds and meadows spred around. The lush trees and

rich fields dense sandwitched by these water flows. Unimaginable isnt

it? Well, even today villages do have this rich possession.

 

This is what Thirumangai AzhwAr focusses on in SiRupuliyUr. On one

side, the agricultural yields spring up from the tilled grounds.On

the other the ponds, rivers, lakes decorate the landmass. The flush

green meadows, the gardens, the rich natural surroundings bedeck the

scenario.

 

'A rare phenomenon indeed' especially these days. This is the real flushing meadows.

 

The nElam flower, lotus- pervades the place all around with its fragrant and colourful presence.

 

'.punal oru pAl, vayal oru pAl, pozhil oru pAl' 7-9-3 Thirumangai

mannan singing about the ponds, fields and meadows.

 

'muzhu nEalamum ,Ambalum, aravindhamum viravi...' 7-9-6; Says Kaliyan

while descirbing the fragrant flowers.

 

 

And what do these flowers remind.

 

They remind the eyes, lips and beatuiful face of the women of this divya-dhEsam

 

'..madavAravar kaN vAi muga malarum' 7-9-6

 

The lotus, Ambal, nElam flowers which decorate the gardens around the

fields and lakes do not just throw sence around but are reminiscent

of the lips, face and eyes of the maidens therein.
