Thank you Lji

[mohan]

Can someone please provide the word for word translation of the following lines:

uLLadAm poruL tEDi uNarndE Odum vEdattiNuNNin-roLirvAL
kaLLam aTra munivargaL kUrum karuNai vAcakatut-poruLAvAL

kOdaghanra tozhiluDait-tAkkik-kulavu cittiram gOpuram kOyil
Idanaittin ezhiviDai yuTrAL inbamE vaDivAgiDap-peTrAL

[rshankar]

The second verse is particularly tough for me...Arasi/Rajani/Punarvasu/E_S can correct me if I am mistaken about my take on the phrase 'kOdaganra tozhiluDai-yuTRAL'....

uLLadAm poruL tEDi uNarndE Odum vEdattiNuNNin-roLirvAL
kaLLam aTra munivargaL kUrum karuNai vAcakatut-poruLAvAL
She will be resplendent (ninru oLirvAL) inside (uLL) the vEdas (vEdattin) that are read (Odum) after one seeks (tEDi) and finds/understands/realizes (uNarndE) the innermost (uLLadAm) meaning (porul) [1]. She will become (AvAL) the essence (poruL) of the compassionate (karuNai) words (vAcakam) spoken (kUrum) by the great ascetics (munivargaL) who are devoid (aTRa) of deceit (kaLLam).

kOdaganra tozhiluDait-tAgik-kulavu cittiram gOpuram kOyil
Idanaittin ezhiviDai yuTrAL inbamE vaDivAgiDap-peTrAL
She is responsible for (uTRAL) for the the beauty/grace (ezhil) found in (iDai) all (anaittin) of these (Idu) that result (Agi) from faultless (kOdu aganra) craftsmanship/artistry (tozhiluDai): gleaming/resplendant (kulavu) paintings (cittiram), the tower-gate (gOpuram) of temples, and the interior of the temples (kOyil) as well. She possesses (peTRAL) the ability to become (AgiDa) the very embodiment (vaDivu) of bliss (inbamE).

[1] I think this is the meaning of life

[Rajani]

Ravi - Thanks!
Some minor corrections -
1 kOdu means flaw, so kOdaganra means flawless
2 am sure it is ezhilidai (ezhil + idai ) meaning "amidst the beauty"
3 tozhiluDait-tAkkik = tozhil -uDaittu + Agi ( which have/result from flawless craftmanship)

[Lakshman]

Rajani: I checked in the book and it is ezhiliDai. Also it is tozhiluDaittAgi-kulavu ...

[rshankar]

Rajani - thank you so much for your corrections...contextually, I thought along the lines of whta you've said, but I was not sure if that was the meaning! I have edited my post with your corrections.

Thanks Ravi and L-ji. My mistake - I indeed meant iDai (not idai)
