The Group of Ships

 

தொகà¯à®•à®®à¯‡ கபà¯à®ªà®²à¯ கà¯à®´à®¾à®™à®•à®³à¯

 

 

AzvAr faints on seeing the group of clouds. Nam AzvAr sees Emperuman, in flowers, skies and clouds. He is reminded of the Lord when he sees these.

 

We saw earlier, that splitting of words improperly,may lead to wrong meanings.

 

Here is one such instance:

 

In TiruvAimozhi pAsuram 8-5-8: 'thokkamEA kappal kuzhAngaL..' goes on to say that AzvAr is mesmerised on seeing these as he is remidned of the Lord.

 

However, we notice here that AzvAr does not talk of group of ships -கபà¯à®ªà®²à¯ கà¯à®´à®¾à®™à®•à®³à¯.

 

Here, Azvar expresses that he is reminded of Emperuman when he sees the group of clouds and this torments him.

 

However, the spliting of words slightly this side makes this as group of ships instead of group of clouds

 

Actually this should be chanted as

 

thokka mEgap pal kuzhAngaL

 

 

தொகà¯à®• மேகப௠பல௠கà¯à®´à®¾à®™à¯à®•à®³à¯

காணà¯à®®à¯ தோறà¯à®®à¯ தொலைவன௠நானà¯

TiruvAimozhi 8-5-8
