Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 piDi-kambamA 'kambamA' refers to a pachyderm. Thirumangai AzhwAr has used it as an adjective. 'kambamA kaLiRu anjik kalanga..' 10-1-9 of Periya ThiruMozhi. The word 'piDi' refers to a female elephant. 'piDi sEAr kaLiRaLtha pEArALA, vundhan adisEArndharuL peRRAL anREA" mudhal ThriuvandhAdhi 97; Sri Poizhgai AzhwAr explains that the elephant always stays with its pair. 'piDiyaith thoDarum kaLiRenna, yAn vun piRangiya sEr-aDiyaith thodarum paDi nalga vEANDum..' rAmAnusa nURRAndhAdhi Like a male elephant enamoured and toeing its pair, Oh! Sri RAmAnujA, bless me to follow your divine feet. (to be concluded) dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
