Swamin.
I am absolutely in agreement that words in pasurams should be given proper sandhi and should not be broken in an absurd manner.
But what makes me wonder is as to how we practice and approve the way we break the words when we render "Varanam Ayiram". The tune with the broken words is really excellent but the looking into the words broken, it makes one cry. Just see :
Vaarana maayiram soozhava lamseithu
naarana nambina dakkinnaan nenretheir
poorana porkudam vaithuppu ramengum
thoranam nattakka naakkanden thozhinaan
I want to really know why such horrible breaking of words got approved and traditionally sung everywhere with no fingers raised even by most learned people.
And if such absurd breaking of words is allowed, then what is the harm in people interested in learning, do it by themselves, though it might result in some wrongful breaking of words?
