ONE FOR THE
SHOULDER-ONE FOR THE HEAD
PeriyAzvAr and
PerumAL -2
Great valour is represented
by 'Great shoulders'. The Divine sword given by ShivaperumAn is also mentioned.
The combination of two i.e The valorous shoulders and fierce weapon, would make
anybody invincible.
RavaNa possessed such a
valour.
Sri RAmA casually, removed these
shoulders and also plucked his head with arrows.
One arrow is enough to remove the
life out of the body. Chakravarthith Thirumagan used arrow for demolishing this
strong shoulders and one for the head. This just points to the casual nature in
which DAsarathi takcled ravaNA.
Says Sri MaNaVALa mAmunikaL '

When one arrow is enough to take
life out of rAvaNA, one for the shoulder and one for the head just indicates the
casual nature in which Sri RAmA confronted this rAkshashA.
