SrI:
SRImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue with NammAzhwAr's divine anubhavams on
ThiruvEnkatam- Today's Thiruviruttham verse is 15th. 

kayalO numakaNgaL?' enRu
 kaLiRu vinavin^iRRIr,
ayalOr aRiyilu mIdhenna
 vaarththai, kadalkavarndha
puyalO dulaamkoNdal vaNNan
 punavENG kadaththemmodum
payalO viliir,kollaik kaakkinRa
 naaLum palapalavE. 15

The master and the lady leave after being together for
some timeâ?¦ Later, the man wishes to see the lady and
comes searching for her and her friend as if he goes
hunting in the forest. The girl and her friend under
the pretext of taking care of the grains that were
getting dried under the hot sun, were actually
expecting him to appear and be there. He sees them in
the backyard and asks them, â??did any of you see the
elephant? this is termed as vEzham vinavudhal..
[asking for elephant] in ahatthuRai ilakkaNam [in
Tamil literature]. 

This verse is in the words of the friend to the man
[who comes to see the damsel] and speaks as below: 

Oh master! You act as if you are following the temple
and appear to ask: Did you see an elephant? If the
talk stops with that, it is fine. Taking that as an
excuse, you have enquired as to whether her eyes are
the pair of fishes. [kayalO numa kaNNgaL] admiring her
beautiful eyes. While talking also, your legs do not
stand firm on the ground and shake; If neighbours hear
this, what would they think- they will wonder as to
why he asks two different queries.. Asking about the
elephant and if the eyes are the beautiful fishes..
Then they will also suspect if we had come with a
different purpose and not for taking care of these
grains. 

We have come to take care of these grains in this huge
mountain of ThiruvEnkatam ? where the Lord resides.
The Lord is of dark hue like the rain laden black
clouds that drink the waters from the ocean; Do not
act as if you are our long lasting friend of ours ?
who have come to take care of the grains only here; It
appears you have desired for befriending us.. 

This is the meaning of this verse: Two points are
explicit here: (i) The girl and her friend also like
him; (ii) they [the girls] fear that neighbours will
become aware and hence refuse to entertain him..
