                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.
