Dear SrimAn P.T.Narayanan,

 

Your comments are very illuminating. Thank you for supporting

adiyane's attempts to understand the beauty of our "soodikoduttha

nAchiyAr's" phrase "venn pull tavattavar" in terms of modern,

present-day idiom and events. With regard to the "betel-leaves"

context, you will recall that in my original posting adiyane too had

referred to it. It stands confirmed now that you have pointed out to

us that it is based on the "nirvAham" of none other than the uncle of

our 'bhAshyakArar', the great Sri.Tirumalai Nambi (who, incidentally,

I may be pardoned for taking pride in saying, belonged to Tirupati

and in whose sacred lineage my paternal grandmother of the 'Tirumalai

ThOzhappachari' family at Tirupati descended across 10 centuries).

 

Thank you so much for putting the whole matter in the right

perspective. I hope you will not mind my taking the liberty to copy

this correspondence to other lists where adiyane's original posting

also appeared.

 

Regards,

dAsan,

Sudarshan
