yAnai

 

'Anaiyin thuyaram ThErap puL vUrndhu senRu ninRAzhith thoTTanai' is

from the ThriuvallikkEANi Thirumozhi 2-3-9; on Sri GajEndhra

Varadhan.

 

'vaLavezhum thavaLa mADa madhurai mA-nagaram thaNNuL -kavaLa mAl yAnai

koNRa kaNNanai aranga mAlai' Says ThonDarappodigaL not able to resist

recalling maThurA even while singing Sri Thiruvarangan.This is

ThirumAlai 45 where the episode of Sri kaNNan killing the perilious

elephant is narrated.

 

'Anai kAthu Or Anai konRu..'are the sweet rhythimic words from

Thiruchandhavrutham-40; of Thirumazhisaip pirAn where both the

GajEndhrAzhwAn and kuvaliayApEtam incidents are described. The same

idea is also seen in SiRiya thriumadal 75.

 

'.OrAnai kombosithu, OrAnai kOL vidutha sErAnai-senkaNediyAnai-ThEan

thuzhAi thARAnai..' Thirumangai AzhwAr coins the words wonderfully

which underlines his poetic prowess.

 

A child while growing up learns the word 'yAnai' and is correlated to

' Anai Anai-azhagar Anai' and this word is commonplace and used extensively by AzhwArs.

 

Here comes the highlight on 'yAnai' comparing the Lord with the yAnai from ThirunedunthANDakam 10

 

'ponnAnAi pozhil-yEAzhum kAval pUNDa pugazhAnAi,

igazhvAya thoNDanEan nAn,

enAnAi ! enAnAi ! eNNal allAl enRivan

yEazhayEan ; vulagamEAthum

then AnAi ! vadavAnAi kuda pAlAnAi

guna pAla madhayAnAi -imayOrkenRum mudhalAnAi

pinnAnAr vaNaNgum sOdhi -Thriumzuhik kaLathAnAi

mudhalAnAiyEA'

 

Extremely sweet and wonderful.

 

The jumbo walks continues its majestic stroll.
