This particular term 'kaimA' is a special word in tamizh in that it means only the elephant. All the other terms referring to the Jumbo, have atleast two different meanings. aDiyEn recalls a sanga-t-tamizh-p-pADal which has a talaivan telling talaivi on the elephant he has got in dAnam. As he tells that he has got a 'kari' or 'vEzham' or 'kaLiRu' or 'kambamA', she takes it differently. But when he says 'kaimA' , she is awe-struck with wonder and knows what he has got in dAnam. The poem ends like this: ...........kambamA enrEn naRkaLiyAm enrAL; kaimmA enREn summA kalanginALE.' After the 'ELEPHANT' series, please take up with the 'LOTUS' series. dAsan Mukundan Padmanabhan Thursday, September 01, 2005 11:58 PMramanuja; Oppiliappan; vanamamalai; divyadesams The Elephant 5-kaimA kaimA kaimA representing a long hand also refers to an elephant has also been used as noun and adjective by AzhwAr-s.
