tamiyEnukkum and azhalAik-kodikkudaDi - means what.. i cant understand the meaning

Lji,
You must have the published version of this composition, right? Because, TMK sings it slightly differently:

pallavI
ayyan azhagan SOlaimalaikku arasan
avan pAl meiyanbu konDEn aDI

anupallavI
teiyyalAr mUvar unDu dharaNiyOr arindapaDi
temi enakkum iDam tandiDa vENDumaDI

caraNam:
kazhal ninaindAl angam kazhalAi kodikkudaDI
karaiulagam ennai kAntampOl izhukkudaDI
muruval mugam nianaindAl mOham mIrudaDI
aruvadu nAzhigaiyum avan ninaivE ninaivu

caraNam 2:
narumalar vaittumE kAttirukkinrEn
nangai nI shenru nAthanai kanDu
oru murai vandal yen uyir tarikkum yenru
uravai Solli uDan azhaittu vADI

ya shankar.. i too have the same lyrics that you posted from TMK's cd.. but i felt something is mis-spelled.. so i wanted to confirm with Lakshman ji

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 22 Apr 2007, 18:33

tamiyEnukkum = aDiyEnukkum (for me as well - for yours truly as well...)
No clue what azhal/kazhal means, but whatever it is, it is making the heroine's emotions come to a 'boiling point' (kodikkudaDI).

BTW, who are the 'tayyalAr mUvar'? rAdhA, ANDAL, and mIrA?

rshankar:
Shall I emil you the scanned page from the book?

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 22 Apr 2007, 18:51

kazhal is foot in this context. azhal is flame.

Yes possible. Another interpretation would be rukmiNI, satyabhAmA and rAdhA?

Lakshman
Is the first word of caraNa definitely kazhal? It may be more appropriate to reverse the 2 halves of the first line

karayugaLam ennaik-kAntam pOl izhukkudaDi kazhal ninaindAl angam azhalAik-kodikkudaDi

Simply for the reason of prAsa/edugai.

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 22 Apr 2007, 19:46

DRS, TMK sings it like what you say..kazhal then azhal...
Is kazhal the foot, or the anklet?

rshankar & GB:
I have sent you the scanned page.

gb · Post by gb » 22 Apr 2007, 19:52

thank you Lakshman ji..

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 22 Apr 2007, 19:56

Thanks...Lji...your version is perfect! TMK must have modified it...

My two cents' worth:
ezhil kazhal? (azhagia pAdam, beautiful feet).

ksrimech might be able to supply the third name. My guess is SrI dEvi, bhU dEvi and??

mahakavi · Post by **mahakavi** » 22 Apr 2007, 22:40

arasi:
I was going to say what you said but didn't dare to face some protests from some here. But since you initiated that let me complete it. srIdEvi, bhUdEvi and nILA dEvi. The last one is variously known as nappinnai, rAdhA, etc.

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 22 Apr 2007, 23:02

rukmiNI and satyabhAmA are none other than SrI and bhUdEvi. As kRShNa is the protagonist here, we talk of rukmiNI, satyabhAmA and rAdhA. If it is viShNu (generic rather than specifically kRShNa), rAdhA does not have a footing here.

mahakavi · Post by **mahakavi** » 22 Apr 2007, 23:14

Just to quibble, the order should be rAdhA, rukmiNI, and satyabhAmA in that order, since rAdhA was the childhood (adolescent) sweetheart of Krishna, who occupied Krishna's mind long before rukmiNI and satyabhAmA came on the scene.

ksrimech · Post by **ksrimech** » 23 Apr 2007, 10:43

DRS, rAdha is nappinnai pirATTi, there is a strong footing for her since she is nILAdEvi. tiruppAvai "nappinnai nangAi tiruvEy tuyil ezhAy". gOda dEvi clearly shows we should request nappinnai for getting her husband's hand in marriage. She is the one for whom kRSNa conquers the 8 bulls for marrying her. This is referred to in SrImad bhAgavatam. nappinnai is yaSoda pirATTi's eldest brother's daughter (mAmanmagaL).

arasi - azhal here is the viraha tApam the heroine is feeling when she thinks about tirumAl's tiruvaDi.

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 23 Apr 2007, 10:58

Thanks ksrimech, for the clarification.

Rajani · Post by **Rajani** » 23 Apr 2007, 11:27

I have heard in a discourse by Sri Sri Krishnapremi Swamigal that rAdhA is the incarnation of nILAdEvI , and is known in Tamil as nappinnai.

AnDAL is known to be the incarnation of bhUdEvI.

IMHO, "kazhal" literally means anklet, but often means "foot" as per the grammar rule called "iDa-Agupeyar".

mahakavi · Post by **mahakavi** » 23 Apr 2007, 21:25

ksrimech:
Little more than a year ago I did some research and published 3 articles on nappinnai (who is mentioned by ANDAL and a couple of other AzhwArs) but rAdhA was NEVER mentioned in Thamizh VasihNavite literature. There is indirect evidence that rAdhA IS nappinnai. Read the articles below and let me know your thoughts.
