WRITE UP ON "IRUNTHAN MANILAM' THIRUMOZHI 3-1 contd.
BY SRI SADAGOPAN SWAMI -MODERATOR OPPILIAPPAN GROUP.
 
(3)Neythal Naadu(nilam): " SaaRu koNDa menn karumbu iLam kazhai tadai visumbuRa maNi nizhal sERu koNDa taNN pazhanamathuyezhil Thihazh ThiruvayeendhrapuramE"
--Fourth Paasuram passage

The dense forests of towering  sugar cane crops , which
through the shade of their leaves keep the ground as moist
and fertile are being saluted here. Sugar cane crops
are one of the lakshaNams for Neythal naadu. Even today ,
the region around  Thiruvaheendhrapuram is known for its
cash crop of Sugar cane and sugar  mills.

4)Marutha nilam : " anna-mAmalar aravindhat-tamaLiyil
pedayodum inithu amara , sennelAr kavarik-kulai veesu(m)
taNN ThiruvayIndhrapuramE
-- 7th Paasuram passage

Here , annams are Thiryaks or birds; the red rice crops
are sthAvaram . The ripe stalks of red rice are waving
in the wind and that appears like the fan service is
renderd by them to the pairs of Swans resting on red
lotsues sprouting out of those  rice  fields.This is
an aspect of Marutha nilam .

another  cue to the identification of Marthua nilam at
ThiruvahIdhrapuram is indicated by  the passage in
the 9th paasuram:" sElkaL paay taru sezhu nadhi
vayal puhu ThiruvayeendhrapuramE
". Here Kaliyan
sees the fat fish jumping up and  down in rivers
irrigating fertile fields.
(to be continued by Sri Sadagopan swAmi)
