Seeds of
Pearls?
We have seen seeds of fruits, paddy being
sowed. What is this seeds of pearls?
thirumangai AzhwAr mentions 'seeds of pearls' in
thiruchithrakUtam? How is
it?
The flood- peru nEr- brings alongwith it
pearls. This,water floods the fields and the pearls stay back on the fields. The
pearls on the top of the fields appear to have been sowed on them.
The fishes on seeing these are afraid that
these are some shining stones and try to avoid them. There is another stone on
the back, another on the side,
another besides,making them jump everywhere.This is what kaliyan states as" kayalgaL engum pAindhu vugaLa"
This is what we perceive "sowing the seeds
of pearls"
This is described in the
pAsuram
'serunEla
...
perunEr nivA vundhi muthum
koNarndhu engum vithum-vayaluL,
engum kayal pAindhu ugaLa.."
