A. SrImad tirukkuDandai ANDavan:
My daughter says - âemperurmAn who vanquished the dynasty of the rAkshasa
for separating Him from His pirATTi. He is the leader of monkeys. He adorns a
beautiful bow. He lives every day in nAngUr, which has tall palaces that
obstruct the path of the moon. He is one who never expects something in return
for His helpâ. My daughter has forsaken fear of ignominy. She is singing
about pArttan paLLi emperumAn. She is singing loudly so that I will also hear
about His place. What is He going to do now? She keeps crying just looking at
His charming form.
B. SrI PVP:
en maDandai â My daughter
anRu â when rAvaNa came to fight
arakkar Avi mALa â in order to kill the rAkshasa-s
AzhkaDal Suzh ilangai ceRRa â He destroyed ilangai surrounded by a deep
ocean. He made sure that He did not just kill rAvaNa who took away His wife,
but vanquished the whole clan.
kurakku arasan enRum - He is the Lord of the monkeys. He destroyed ilangai
belonging to rAvaNan, who had destroyed the worlds belonging to brahmA and
others, by getting the help of the monkey clan that does not know the
difference between the right hand and the left hand.
kOlavilli enRum â He has the beautiful bow. Everyone who thinks he was born
to be an archer, lose to Him; He is holding the bow giving the impression that
He alone is the greatest bowman.
mAmadiyai nerukkumADa nIDu nAngai â He is in nAngai with its tall houses that
stand in the path of the moon.
ninmalan tAn enRum - He does not expect anything in return and He is the
purest. He does not wait for someone to ask Him; He will help even before He
is asked.
enRenRu Odi parakkazhindAL pArttan paLLi pADuvALE â she sings more and
more, and she lost her womanhood. She talks about pArttan paLLi.so that I can
hear the name also. What can I do with her from now on?
The mother seems to imply here that her daughter must keep quiet like sIta and
not sing out loud.
adRshTa pUrvavyasanA rAjaputrI yaSasvinI |
tena duHkena rudatI naiva mAm kincidabravIt || (rA.ayodhyA.58.35)
When sumantra returns from the forest, daSaratha asks him, âwhat did rAma and
lakshmaNa say?â sumantra says, âThe illustrious princess sItA, who has not
experienced sorrow before, kept shedding tears and did not say anything to
meâ.
C. Sri UV:
Mother is saying, "If I tell my daughter - you have to behave as per our family
custom; you are not listening to what our family womenfolk are saying, namely,
you are bringing a bad name to our family. Instead, you are saying, 'Is it a
sacred family law that a lady stays put in the house out of humility, instead
of going to her husband, no matter how long it takes? It is your duty to take
me to Him. When even for unmarried girls, the rule applied is - 'trINi
varshANudIksheta' [manu smRti 9.90 - aDiyEn's understanding of this phrase is
- a father has to give away girls in marriage within the wait period of three
years, after they come to age], I cannot wait much longer.' "
He wanted to kill all the rAkshasa-s, not just rAvaNa; He went to ilangai just
for that purpose.
sugrIvaH SankitaH cAsIn nityam vIryeNa rAghave || (rAmA.bAla.1.51)
kOlavilli - sugrIva, the king of the monkeys, was doubting if rAma would be
able to kill vAli or not; rAma pierced through seven sAla trees with one arrow
and restored his confidence. That is why He is "kOlavilli".
ninmalan - After vAli was killed, he raised so many questions to rAma, who
provided all the appropriate responses to those and calmed him. You cannot
blame this 'ninmalan' [the purest].
My daughter says - 'The reason why He is not coming to me is because He wants
me to go to Him. The doubts and blaming that you have about me are to be
dispelled just like those of sugrIva and vAli.' But, I end up calling her
"parakkazhindAL" [she is doing great harm].
kurakkarasu EnRum - [Notice the pATha bedam here ] it will mean the Lord of
vAli and sugrIva, who were the king of the monkeys and were made to believe in
Him. Another way to interpret this is - the one who went to ilangai is
kurakkarasu - vAnara rAjA 'sugrIva'. The one who ruled over that kurakkarasu
was rAma.
D. Sri PBA:
parakkazhindAL - If you split this phrase as parakku [humility] + azhindAL
[lost], the meaning would be 'she lost her humility'.
In kambarAmAyaNam, kishkindA kANDam (87),
arakkar Or azhivu seydu kazhivarEl, adaRku vERu Or
irakkam engu uguttAi? EnpAl ep pizhai kaNDAk? AppA!
parakkazhi idu nI pUNDAl, pugazhai yAr parikkaRpAlAr?
the word 'parakkazhi' is used; the vyAkyAnam meaning is 'great blame; big harm'.
SrI periyavAccAn piLLai gives this vyAkyAnam in several places.
In nAcciyAr tirumozhi-12.3, 'kondaLam Akki parakkazhittuk kuRumbu seyvAnOr
maganaip peRRa", 'parakkazhittu' is explained as "causing blemish".
