WRITE UP ON "IRUNTHAN MANILAM' THIRUMOZHI 3-1 contd.
BY SRI SADAGOPAN SWAMI -MODERATOR OPPILIAPPAN GROUP.
Sri kaliyan has excellently discovered the greatness of the four type of
earths-geographical divisions, as set out by ancient tamilians. Generally, each
place has its own peculiar features. However, thiruvahIndirapuram has got the
best of these. This aspect is elaborated by Sri Sadagopan swAmi.
nAnilam
in Tamil poetry :(1)Neythal (2) Kurinji (3)Mullai
and(4)Marutham .
Kaliyan finds a blessed combination of the best features of
all these four kinds of lands at ThiuvahIndhrapuram .
He recognizes therefore This Dhivya Desam as Naa-nilam
(nAnku nilam) or having the integrated essence of
the features of the above four kinds of lands .
Kaliyan's specific references to these four kinds of
lands have been pointed out by SrI UtthamUr Swamigal
in his commnetary :
(1)Kurunji Naadu: " ampozhilUdE serunthi nANmalar
senraNainthu uzhi taru ThiruvayeendhrapuramE"
-- First Paasura Passage
Here is thereference to Serunthi Pushpam , which
is typical of Kurunji Naadu; Kaliyan sees the joyous
honey bees (Nithyasooris) travelling in dense patterns
amidst the groves of Serunthi trees , while singing
the thousand names of the Lord . This band of bees had
feasted earlier on the honey from lotuses in the pond ,
where MahAlakshmi stays and are now engaged in
BhagavannAma sankIrthanam .The bees embrace the new
blossoms of Serunthi and travel hither and thither
in their groves.
(2)Mullai Naadu: " MoykoLL Maadhavi SeNpakam muyankiya
Mullaiyam kodiyAda "
--Third Paasuram Passage
The LakshaNam of Mullai Naadu is woven in this paasuram.
Kaliyan sees the Mullai creeper embracing dense thickets of
Maadhavi, SeNpakam and Kurukkatthi trees , which themselves
are flowering trees.
