Dear Sri TCA,
True extremely true sri TCA. In fact I also thought
of writing this but since I was writing a different topic, I avoided it. Thanks
for narrating the episode. I request you to include this in " A Day in the lIfe
of AchArya-s" heading in other groups as well.
Thank You

Dear Sri
Padmanabhan Swamin,
adiyEn was reminded of a story about this pasuram
when I saw it.
Amudhanar tried to interpret the line "karavA
mada nAgu than kanRu uLLinAr pOl" as "karavA mada nAgu, than kanRinai
uLLinAr pOl" - that is, like a cow which has not been milked yet thinking
of its calf. However, this did not go with the next line where Azhvar
refers to him (the calf) calling out to the Lord (the cow).
When
Parasara Bhattar was presented with this pasuram, he explained it as
follows: "karavA mada nAgu than kanRu, (than thAyai) uLLinAR pOl". That is,
the calf (Azhvar) of the cow which has not been milked yet, thinking of
its mother (the Lord).
