THE TEARS OF THE MOON
'thingaL mugam pani padiakkum azhagAr..'

We have heard of crocodile tears, the tears from the eyes. The happy tears, the 
tears of sorrow. 

What is this? tears from the moon?



The maidens of the dhivya-dhEsam 'kAzi-sErAma viNNagaram' are beautiful.The 
pretty women stand on the top storey, with their mid-portion -which is like 
vudukkai- their faces are raidant, bright and sparkling. It is customary and 
commonplace to  observe poets comparing girls with flowers and moon. Here, 
however, the moon became crestfallen on seeing the radiance and the beauty of 
their faces. It introspected itself " What a life we are leading. Despite the 
fact that we are compared for beauty, we cannot match their countenance" and  
the tears start falling. 

swAmi peirya vAchAn piLLai's vyAkyAnam is a class. 

The moon thinks as said above ' "nAm enna jEvanam jEvikkiRoam, ivargaLoAdu, 
oppuch sollach seidhEa, oppup pOrAdha padi iruppadhEa" enRu dhukkap padA niRkum 
AyiRru. chandhranukkuch chandran ivargaL" '

thingal mugam pani padaikkum azhagAr
