        Subject: [Oppiliappan] The Elephant 1-vAraNam
        
        
        vAraNam
         
        Today's HIndu carries the word ' Pachyderm' signifying the tusker. 
         
        Let us first take one of the several words indicating this term. 
'vAraNam'.
         
        Sri ANDAL talks of the jumbo, not  one,  not hundreds but  a thousand 
and that too when -these surround at the time of the wedlock with the Lord 
--the famous words from The nAchiyAr Thriumozhi
        'vAraNam Ayiram sUzha valm seidhu' 6-1;
         
        Generally, Azhwar-s just do not use this term for representing the 
tusker but while describing the GajEndhrA mOksham or narrating the demolition 
of the kuvalaiyApEtam. This apart AzhwAr-s take pride in comparing the elephant 
with the Lord Himself.
         
        'vAraNam koL idar kadindha mAlai ..' 2-10-10; are the beatuiful words 
from Periya Thirumozhi recalling the gAjEndhra mOksham.
         
        ..vAraNam paiya ninRu vUrvadhu pOle'1-7-1 of PeriyAzhwAr ThiruMozhi 
says Sri PeriyAzhwAr making us visualise the big giant of the behomoth slowly 
and steadily shaking on both the sides progressing on its walk. This is likened 
to the walk of kutti kaNNan -The Almighty.
         
        The masterpiece on vAraNam is here from Sri PeriyazhwAr again
         
        'oru vAraNam paNi koNdavan poigaiyil, kanjan than 
        oru vAraNam vuyiruNdavan vuRaiyum malai,
        karu vAraNam than pidi thodarndhOda kadalvaNNan
        thiruvANai kURath thiriyum thaN mAlirunjOlaiyEa'  4-2-5;
         
        The first vAraNam on the first line --The Lord who granted 
kainkaryam-service to GajEndhrAzhwAn.
        The second vAraNam -second line --The Lord who vanquished the elpehant 
kuvalaiyapEtam.
        The thrid vAraNam-third line --- The elephant playing with its pair.
