nam-piLLai
In the earlier postings it was seen that swAmi nampiLLai had explained
regarding adjectives, examples and real-life events. SwAmi also explains
menaings of words or terms, in two or three different ways, whenever
multiple interpretations are possible. Further, swAmi also refers to
interpretations by taimil scholars then and there.
One instance in the following pAsuram:
"madhuvAr thannan thuzhAiAn
mudhu vEdha mudhalvanukku,
edhuvE enpaNi ennAdhu,
adhuvE At cheiiyum EdE" 1-6-2
The preceding pAsuram -1-6-1 of thiru voi
mozhi ends with the term"purivadhuvum pugai pUvE" which means the next pAsuram
-thiru voi mozhi being thiru andhAdhi- should commence with the syllable "va"
"vA" and so on.
However, it is seen the next pAsuram
commences with the word "madhuvAr".
For this Edu is reproduced here: "
'purivadhuvum pugai pUvE ' enRadhu kEzh; idhil ' madhuvAr thannan
thuzhAyAn'
enRu thodangiRru; idhu sERumpadi en enna;
"pUvAgil madhuvOdE kUdiallAdhirAmaiyAlE, sErum" enRu solluvar
thamizhar.
Though, the words may not strictly comply
with andhAdhi, the meaning of the term 'pU' is brought forth as the beginning of
the next pAsuram. How? 'pU' meaning flower is always with the nectar-madhu. This
is being construed as the beginning of the next pAsuram linking the chain in the
andhAdhi scenario. This, swAmi nam-piLLai mentions as being mentioned by
tamil-scholars-enRu solluvar thamizhar.
However, swAmi nam-piLLai also spells out
another interpretation. "vadhuvAr thannan thuzhAiyAn" enRu pAdamAna pOdhu,
pOrach chErum.vadhuvai enbadhu manam; Ardhal enbadhu pUrNam; ...naRu
nARRathaiyudaiya thuzhAi enRumAm. idhu thamizhar pOrach chErum
enbar.
If the word is understood as "vadhuvAr" the
meaning would be good-scented thuzhAi. Which is also the meaning of the last
term of the preceding pAsuram. Further, the words have been adopeted from the
final term of the preceding
pAsuram -puri-vadhuvum pugai pUvE.
Hence, this being both cogent with the
meaning and word of the final term of the prevous pAsuram, this is being greatly
appreiated by the tamil-scholars.
This kind of multiple interpretations and
referrence to tamil-scholars is replete in Edu. In 'sonnAl virOdhamidhu' thiru voi mozhi 3-9 this can be
seen in several pAsuram-s.
