Subject: Girl leaving for in-law-s
place
MadamE sumithrA varadharAjan,
what does a girl who leaves with her
husband to her in-law's place do? She is leaving her place after a
long affinity and affection towards her dear and nears. She meets them briefly
in private and public and tells them goodbye
respectfully.
thirumangai mannan wanted to reach
Lord's abode immediately on realising about the Lord. However, he was
distracted by divya-desa anubhavam-s. Now, kaliyan feels after nine tens, that
time has come for him to leave. He had visited so many dhivya-dhesam-s and
gifted us with divine pAsuram-s filled with pure tamil, immense philosophy and
great emotions. He had done this in detail. Now a stage had come that he hadto
leave these archAvathAra em-perumAn-s.Hence,
he briefly tells them one and all good bye in the first pAsuram
of the tenth ten.
oru -nal suRRam- Dear Good
relatives.
My souls-enakkuyir

so forth.

sri periya vAchAn piLLai's commentary
reflects this aspect.
'piRandhagathilirundhu
pukkagathukku pOgumpOdhu, janma bhUmiyiluLLa vuRavu muRaiAruLLidamengum pukku,

Akin to a newly married
girl, leaving her place, thiurmangai mannan, in anticipation of thiurnAdu,
briefly talks about certian dhivya-dhEsam-s -which are his dear and
nears.
the undermentioned lines from you made me recall
the above great vyAkyAnam.
thank you,

Consider adiyen as a normal lady. Then, it
is well known to all, that girls (especially after marriage) have a special
affection towards their parent's place. They may have it always but they
tend to show it more explicitly after marriage. So you may call it a
"porandhAththu paRRu" So adiyen wants to hear the name "Thiruvallikeni" from
the mouths of one and all and be filled with joy. When it is the case
for a girl who has come from some village not well known what to say about
adiyen who has come from a DD that too adorned by our dear kaliyan as
"oppavarillA mAdhargal vAzhum mAda mAmayilai thiruvallikeni" Is there anything
wrong in adiyen being filled with sAtvika
ahankaram?
