karu-mArip
pAidhal
The guiness world records lists feats
which are unimaginable, rare, breathtaking and so on.
The age old custom of jallik-kaTTu
is about seizing into ones control the raging bull. The result is injury
and death in some cases. It reflects the valour and the coruage of
tamilians.
Simiarly, two sharp vertical sUlam-s are
installed close by in the kuLam in kAnchi kAmakshi temple. Anybody, desiring for
a wish, try to jump precisely amidst these two standing dangers. Even a fraction
of a mistake in landing will end up in tearing the belly and the separation of
the life from tbe body. Notwithstanding this, some people attempt this as the
wish list is very precious compred the their life and body. It is obvious that
only a very few succeed in these attempts.
This is what sri periya-vAchAn piLLai
states "karu-mAri pAindhu peRa vEaNDum paDiyAna
vadivazhagu, nappinnai pirAttikku"
nappinnai pirAtti's
beauty is so wonderful that such type of highly perilious efforts is indeed
appropritate considering what one gets in return.
Lord krishNA who had to rein the seven
bulls, had to manouvure Himself adeptly, lest the bulls' horns tear him off
viciiously. The kanck of jumping on not one but seven bulls- and escaping
the tenacity of the horns- is a very risky affair but when contemplating
the consideration, it is indeed worth the trouble and this sri peirya-vAchAn
piLLai compares with the risk of jumping precisely between the karumAri sUlams
risking ones life and physique.
That is what is infereed by sri
peirya-vAchAn piLLai from
"minnin anna
nun-marungul vEyEAi thaDan thOL melliyaRkA,
mannu sinatha mazha vidaigaL
yEAZh anRu adartha mAlathidam" 5-1-6;
