kaN vaLarum
This term "kaN vaLarum" indicates the sleep but in
a very decent and respectful way.
The srEvaishNavic language is a class on its own.
For each and every detail the uniquness of the tems sparkle.
When a person breathes his last, it is customary to
mention even today
"AchAryan thiruvadi adaindhAr" "he has reached the divine feet of the AchAryan" Though the aformentioned words are followed in
contemporary parlance, the following are generally accepted
terms:
When a jEvAthmAl is dedicated towards the Lord it
is customary to mention his final departuere as
"thiruvadi sArndhAr" --Reaching the divine feet of
the Lord.
Whent the jEvAthmA is dedicated towards service to
srEvaishNavites.
"thirunAttukku nadandhAr" ---Reaching the thirunAdu
full of srEvaishNavites.
When the jEvAthmA is in intense service towards the
AchAryan
" AchAryan thiruvadi adaindhAr"-- Reached the feet
of the AchAryan.
In this context sri bhattar's words should be
remembered when it was mentioned that
"thoNdanUr nambi thiruvadi sArndhAr" --sri
thoNdanUr nambi has reached the Lord's feet.
Sri bhattar said that, since he was more inclined
towards service to the devotees, hence mention as
"thoNdanUr nambi thirunAttukku
nadandhAr"
'thoNdanUr nambi walked to the
thirunADu"
