[sri ramanuja] A Peep into Periya Thirumozhi 284

[Guest guest]

paLLik kuRippu

 

Thirumangai mannan, PeriayAzvAr have sung pAsuram-s as if they have brought up kids in their real life.

 

Children tired after playtime will try to avoid food. They feel sleepy and symptoms of sleep emanate from them.

 

It is surprising to see these symptoms also being talked of in pAsuaram-s.

Apparently, Emperuman had granted His divine vision to these divine apostles.

 

Kaliyan in Periya Thirumozhi mentions this as 'paLLik kuRippu'

 

'paLLi kuRippuch seyyAdhEa pAl amudhuNNa nE vArAi' 10-4-6.

 

Thirumangai Azvar stepping into the shoes of yasOdha pirATTi

'Hey krshNA! Dont show signs of sleep.come on drink mother's milk.'

 

Sri Periya vAchAn piLLai explains this term

 

paLLik kuRippu: kangaL sivappadhu, muri nimirvadhu, azhuvadhu, koTTAVi koLvadhu .

 

What are the symptoms -eyes becoming red, crying, yawning, making the body straighter etc.

 

Excellent.

 

Do the readers of Peep into Periya Thirumozhi also have paLLik kuRippu?
