WRITE UP ON "IRUNTHAN MANILAM' THIRUMOZHI 3-1 contd.
BY SRI SADAGOPAN SWAMI -MODERATOR OPPILIAPPAN GROUP.
 
Sri kaliyan has excellently discovered the greatness of the four type of earths-geographical divisions, as set out by ancient tamilians. Generally, each place has its own peculiar features. However, thiruvahIndirapuram has got the best of these. This aspect is elaborated by Sri Sadagopan swAmi.
 
nAnilam
 
in Tamil poetry :(1)Neythal (2) Kurinji (3)Mullai
and(4)Marutham .

Kaliyan finds a blessed combination of  the best features of
all these four kinds of lands at  ThiuvahIndhrapuram .
He recognizes therefore This Dhivya Desam as Naa-nilam
(nAnku nilam) or having the integrated essence of
the features of the above four kinds of lands .
Kaliyan's specific references to these four kinds of
lands have been pointed out by SrI UtthamUr  Swamigal
in his commnetary :

(1)Kurunji Naadu: " ampozhilUdE serunthi nANmalar
senraNainthu uzhi taru ThiruvayeendhrapuramE
"
-- First Paasura Passage

Here is thereference to Serunthi Pushpam , which
is typical of Kurunji Naadu; Kaliyan sees the joyous
honey  bees (Nithyasooris) travelling in dense patterns
amidst the groves of Serunthi trees , while singing
the thousand names of the Lord . This band of bees had
feasted earlier on the honey  from lotuses in the pond ,
where  MahAlakshmi stays and  are now  engaged in
BhagavannAma  sankIrthanam .The bees embrace the new
blossoms of Serunthi and travel hither and thither
in their groves.

(2)Mullai Naadu: " MoykoLL Maadhavi SeNpakam muyankiya
Mullaiyam kodiyAda "
--Third Paasuram Passage

The LakshaNam of Mullai Naadu is woven in this paasuram.
Kaliyan sees the Mullai creeper embracing dense thickets
of
Maadhavi, SeNpakam and  Kurukkatthi trees , which themselves
are flowering trees.
