Dear Shri TCA,
Exactly. However, PeriyAzvAr feels very
bad after having survived This is spelt out by PeriyAzvAr
himself
'..nanjumizh
nAgathinOADu piNangavum nAn vuyir vAzhndhirundhEAn' PeriyAzvAr Thirumozhi
3-3-6;
Such type of thinking cannot but come only
if the feeling of mothrlines has transformed periyAzvAr into yasOdhA reaffirming
the title -PeriyazvAr -mangaLA sAsanap parar.
Sri ManavALa mAmunikaL's vyAkyAnam is
precise.
'..ippaDiyAik koNDu
anyOnyam piNangina pODhu nAn prANanaiyODEa irundhEAn
iREA'
The feelings are expressed empathically.
That is why he is PeriyAzvAr
..pongum parivAlEa villi
puthUr pattar pirAn peRRan periyAzvAr ennum peyar'
upadhEsa rathina-mAlai

Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:
In Nacchiyar
Thirumozhi 12-5, Andal talks about the dance that Lord Krishna did on the
head of the snake Kaliya.
Arkkum en nOy idhaRiyalAgAdhu ammanaimIr
thuzhadhippadAdhE kArkkadal vaNNan enbAn oruvan kaikaNda yOgam
thadavath thIrum nIrk karai ninRa kadambai ERik kALiyan uchchiyil
nattam pAyndhu pOrkkaLamAga niruththam seydha poygaik karaikku
ennai uyththidumin
The simle meaning for the phrase "pOrkkaLamAga
niruththam seydha poygaik karai" would be that Lord Krishna, as
He danced, made the banks of the pond where Kaliya was, a
battlefield.
Nampillai records that Bhattar offered the
following meaning for this phrase.
"As soon as the people in
Thiryvayppadi heard that Krishna had jumped into the pond where Kaliya was,
they fainted. They did not even have the strength to come up to the
banks
of the pond and fainted wherever they were when they heard the
news. It looked like the entire town had become a battlefield and all the
people had been felled in a war.
Therefore, it is not that Andal is
saying that the banks of the pond became the battlefield. She is actually
saying that the Lord's dance made the whole Thiruvayppadi
a battlefield."
