WRITE UP ON "IRUNTHAN MANILAM' THIRUMOZHI 3-1 contd. 
BY SRI SADAGOPAN SWAMI -MODERATOR OPPILIAPPAN GROUP.
sEthA -Slim Waist.

Sri kaliyan Saluting sEthA pirAtti's auspicious Qualities and Her beauty (3-1-7)
"minnin-nuNN-idai madakkodi kAraNam vilangalin misai Ilankai mannan neeN-mudi 
podi seytha maindan idam maNi varai..."

The extraordinary slimness(nuNN) of the waist (idai)  
of SitA Piratti is compared here to the width of 
a lightning (minnal). One of the divine mark of beauty of 
Jaanaki MaathA ( Her SaamudhrikA lakshaNam)  is the thinnest
of the thin waists. Her physical beauty of an unparalleled 
kind is matched only by Her aathma guNams befitting
a pathivrathA SirOnmaNi (the crown jewel among the Chaste
women ). Kaliyan refers to Her Aathma GuNam of "madappam ", 
when he describes Her as "Madakkodi". Madappam is NaaNam 
or adakkam . By the choice of the word "Madakkodi", 
Kaliyan salutes both Her ThirumEni Azhagu ( tender creeper-
like physical beauty ) and Her aathma guNams (Spiritual 
Attributes). It is for the sake of this lady (wife) 
with the amalgam of physical beauty and spiritual qualities 
(Madakkodi KaaraNam) , Raamachandran   invaded Lanka
and ascended the peak of Thrikooda mountain , fought
with the evil Raavanan there and pulverized his tall 
ten heads in a fierce battle 
(vilangalin misai Ilangai mannan neeNN mudi podi seytha) . Kaliyan points out 
that the home of this Raghuveeran , who destroyed RaavaNan is indeed the dhivya 
dEsam of ThiruvahIndhrapuram
(Myndhan idam ThiruvaheendhrapuramE).Kaliyan addresses
Raamachandran as "Myndhan " here to remind us that
our Lord took the human incarnation as the son of 
DasaraTan ( DasaraTa Myndhan).
