Mantram/PanchAti 17 : 6th AnuvAkam

 

" From atyUrdhvAkshOatirascchAt -- to tvam karoshi nijAukAmam "

 

( Meaning & Commentary): In this panchAti ,the lakshaNams( signs) of SiSira rutu are described at the time of dawn ( SuryOdhayam) . It is the cold season ( PanikkAlam). No one engages in war or harm each other. They sit in one place sitting tight with their hands

holding on to their knees to protect themselves from the himsai of the cold air. The dense cold fog ( pani) forms an

envelope and reduces visibility . As a result , they do not even see each other .
