ThAmarai
A Sybol
of
a. Exalted
Example
The vuvamai Agu
peyar
When does the example gets elevated. When
it is substituted for the originial itself. This is called 'vuvamai Agu peyar' i.e The name itself gerts converted
from the example in tamil grammar. For example, we observe that moon is
compared to the face of beautiful maidens. Instead, when the moon itself is
stated instead of the face, then we can say that the example gets
elevated.
The ThAmarai, we have seen, has been
compared to various divine organs of EmperumAn.
Sri Nam AzhwAr elevates it to the
highest state by just putting the word thAmarai and does not mention the organ
at all.Here, the ThrivikramAvathAram is being narrated.
' ..maN vin
muzhudhum aLandha oN thAmarai" 8-5
ThiruvAi Mozhi. The earth and sky was measured by the feet of EmperumAn.
However, mARAn declares that it is the thAmarai which has so extended its form
up above the world so high. This is thus a case of Exalted Example.
SwAmi Nam AzhwAr has used this same
vuvamai Agu peyar in ThriuvAi mozhi
and exactly in the same context of
thrivikraman
'thAvi vaiyam koNda
thadam thAmaraigatkEa..:"
6-9-10.
b. The God
Shadow Area
When the hills are situated in a
particular region or plateau, it is geographiclly determined that rains gloss
over the area and is termed as 'rain shadow area'.
Similarly, Sri Poigai AzhwAr describes
bhrAmhA who is so near to the Lord inside the thAmrai could not see the divine
feet of EmperumAn. So near but too far.
' nEArEA kadi-k-kamalthu irundhum kANkilAn
kaNNan adi-k-kamalam thannai ayan' mudhal
thiruvandhAdhi 56;
A God Shadow Area
Indeed.
