sEthA pirAtti's auspicious Qualities and Her beauty
(3-1-7)
"minnin-nuNN-idai madakkodi
kAraNam vilangalin misai Ilankai mannan neeN-mudi podi seytha maindan idam maNi
varai..."
The extraordinary slimness(nuNN) of the waist (idai)
of SitA Piratti is compared here to the width of a lightning (minnal). One of the divine mark of beauty of Jaanaki MaathA ( Her SaamudhrikA lakshaNam) is the thinnest of the thin waists. Her physical beauty of an unparalleled kind is matched only by Her aathma guNams befitting a pathivrathA SirOnmaNi (the crown jewel among the Chaste women ). Kaliyan refers to Her Aathma GuNam of "madappam ", when he describes Her as "Madakkodi". Madappam is NaaNam or adakkam . By the choice of the word "Madakkodi", Kaliyan salutes both Her ThirumEni Azhagu ( tender creeper- like physical beauty ) and Her aathma guNams (Spiritual Attributes). It is for the sake of this lady (wife) with the amalgam of physical beauty and spiritual qualities (Madakkodi KaaraNam) , Raamachandran invaded Lanka and ascended the peak of Thrikooda mountain , fought with the evil Raavanan there and pulverized his tall ten heads in a fierce battle (vilangalin misai
Ilangai mannan neeNN mudi podi seytha) . Kaliyan points out that the home
of this Raghuveeran , who destroyed RaavaNan is indeed the dhivya dEsam of
ThiruvahIndhrapuram
(Myndhan idam
ThiruvaheendhrapuramE).Kaliyan addresses
Raamachandran as "Myndhan " here to remind us that our Lord took the human incarnation as the son of DasaraTan ( DasaraTa Myndhan). (to be continued by Sri Sadagopan
