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..
