Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 kari The word kari has got several cannotations. It means charcoal. It alludes to black colour. It represents a witness. It indicates an elephant. On a study of AzhwAr's verses there is a overwhelming evidence that this particular term has been used referring to Lord krishNA killing the elephant 'kuvalaiyApETam' 'kari vuruvam kombosithAn kAindhu ' are the words from mUnRam ThiruvandhAdhi. '..kari kOLe viduthAnEA ' are the words of Sri PeriyAzhwAr 'kari sEar pUmbpozhil sUzh thiruvEnkathanEa" are tfhe words dedicated to thirumalaiappan by Sri Kaliyan indicating that elpehants throng ThiruvEaNkatam. 'kari munindha kaithalamum kaNNum vAyum' The words from ThirunedunthANdakam recite sweetly and reverberate gently with music, rhyme and rthym whenever this pAsuram is recited. What next? dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
