Taking Refuge in the Tresses of Women
 
It is well known that the most harmonious couples also have bouts of little quarrels, skirmishes or small difference of opinions.These differences or quarrels vanish as the love and affection overtakes. However, in the interregnum one tends to avoid the other and look for places where the other is not present. This is what is called "vUDal' in the ancient tamil texts.
 
This vUDal is followed by realisation "vuNardhal' .
 
Does this petty quarrells also exist in the life of beetles -vaNDu? Yes, says thiru-mangai AzhwAr's pAsuram.
 
The beetles settle down in pairs and enjoy themselves in the flowers. The natural 'vUDal' arises. The masculine beetle immediately looks for a place to hide and flies and tucks itself into the tresses of the women.
 
Who else but sri kaliyan can bring about such wonderful 'rasanai' in the divine pAsuram-s of thiru-veLLARari.
 
"..thangu pEADaiOADu, vUDiya madhukaram,
thaiyalAr kuzhal aNaivAn..." 5-3-6;
 
vUdal-- misunderstanding.
thaiyalAr kuzhal -- The long hair of women.
