kolliampAvai
Earlier it was seen that despite periya pirAtti's presence parkalA nAyaki was
desiring emperumAn. The mother now talks very high regarding the beauty of
parkAla nAyaki.
Does she compare her with fresh lotus? Or is she related to the moon? Or is her
beauty at pAr with upper world maidens?
No.She is termed as "kolliampAvai"
kolliampAvai.
kolliampAvai is a scupture of a maiden in the kolli hils created by dhEva siRpi
in those days. This is supposed to belong to small king "vallu Ori" -an ancient
tamil descendent. The sages and dEvAs in the hills were being tormented by the
demons and asurA clans. This maiden's- made by dhEva siRpi- smile attracts the
demons and they fall dead at the mystical smile. The sculpture was so created
to emanate the smile of demolition at the venture of some demons.
The greatness and beauty of the kolliampAvai is narrated as being at kolli
hills, full of beauty, is not destroyed by wind or rainfall or other such
hurdles. These are all described in tamil works like naRRinai, sEvaga
chinthAmaNi. In fact, aganAnURu, puRanAnURu qutoe kolliampAvai while talking of
beauty of the heroines.
silappadhigAram mentions that thirumagaL danced in the form of 'kolliampAvai'
to make the demons who came forth with aggressive intentions and defeated them
with the beatuy.
Accordingly, our mother, mother of parakAla nAyaki describes the beauty of
parkAla nAyaki as that of kolliampAvai.
It is pertinent to note that in the pAsuram parakAla nAyaki is just mentioned
as kolliampAvai and not kolliampAvaikku oppu.-this is called muRRuvamai when
the subject itself is almost like the example.
The pAsuram goes on like this.
"...Agiulum Asai vidALAL, kuvaLaiamkaNNi, kolliampAvai....sollu nin-thAL ..."
