Dear Padmanabhan Swami.,
I thoroughly enjoy reading your bits on Kaliyan Paasurams.
It means a lot to those who have tasted the anubhavam in the
Tiruvallikkeni Ghoshti, but miss it presently.
In the recent bit #105,

On the above pasuram - I think, the actual depiction would be the
falls-like (Aruvi-Niagara) flow of red blood - Kurudhi (not golden blood)
flowing from a golden mountain like body would be more appropriate.
Also, VenKurudhi here i think refers to Vemmai (warm or heat)- Kurudhi.
So, it is Warm-Red blood flowing out of a golden mountain (Hiranya Kasipu).
-arulmari.
