Padam: Meenakshi Taye In Abhoji

I am wanted to get into in the episode being refered to in the Caranam:

Makara Yazhil Svara Behdam Kandaye
You appreciated the svara bhedam in the music performed on a fish shaped lute?????

[dakshina40]

also the line:
Marakata Meniyodu tavam purindaye....
What penance does this make reference to?

When as pArvati, she performed austere penance to be re-united with Siva.

makara - is a carp-like fish and a crocodile as well. It also refers to some bejewelled thing that Kubera is supposed to have possessed. Not sure here, but most likely a fish-shaped yAzh...
