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).
