Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 puLLup piLLaikku irai thEADum Sri thriumangai AzhwAr narrates the richness and wealth of the divya dhEsam puLLa-pUdhamkuDi, apart from other things, in the first thirumozhi of the fifth ten. The third line of the second pAsuram "paLLach cheruvil kayal vugaLa, pazhanak kazhani adhanuL pOi, puLLu piLLaikku irai thEADum puLLampUdham kuDi thAnEA" 5-1-2; The fishes are abundunt in the ponds and in the running water, in and around this dhivya dhEsam. The birds go in and look and search for food for their kids. A tamil scholar questioned bhaTTar. When the fishes are abundant, why should the bird search for the food? Is it not contradictory? The reply " The bird is not looking food for itself but for its little ones. The little ones cannot devour big fishes. Due to the richness even the fishes are stout and the little ones will find it difficult to eat. Therefore, the birds have to look for a relatively small sized fish suitable for their kids to eat.Such is the wealth of the divya-dhEsam". That is bhaTTar again. puLLup piLLaikku irAi thEADum. dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
