THE GEOGRAPHICAL
PARADOX
It is kindergarden lessons, which teach us
that the sun comes in the day and moon in the night. When the sun is here the
moon appears in a different country and vice-versa. The darkness cannot be
accompanied by these aforementioned two phenomenon.
It is customary for poets to compare
flowers etc. but kaliyan's exceptional comparisons with goldsmith's
workplace,python paradox or the reason for not weeding by the women-folks, are
indeed outstanding.
Here is one such exemplary comparison.
To see sunshine, moon and darkness
together is a null-set. This is being narrated by thirumangai-mannan in this
thiru-mozhi.
-1-The nElam-
blue dagger or blue maNi- is embedded in the structures of the
divya-dEsam-kAzhisErAma viNNagaram. This reflects the darkness correlated to the
dusk.
-2-The
pearls-tharaLam-which are studded among these throw out the light of the
moon.
-3-The
pavazham-s -red maNi- which are culled in between blow out the glow of
sunshine.
Thus, the simulataneous scenario of
darkness, moon and sunshine is witnessed in the structures of the
divya-dEsam
The pAsuram:
'..nEla mAlai
thanjudaiya iruL thayaippa-1-,
tharaLam AngEA-thaN madhiyin
nilAk kATTA-2-,
pavaLam-thannAl, venjudar
veyyil virikkum-3-,
azhagu Ar-kAzhich
sErAma viNNagarEa sErminErEa"3-4-4;
A Geographical
paradox indeed.
