Dear
SrEvaishNavites,
1. The word 'marumAn' indicating the
lineage rather than the relationship of nephew is indeed appropriate, especially
in the context of mAl-marugan as is commonly used.
The word mAl marugan in the sense of
nephew is highly absurd as one cannot imagine the son of ShivA
murugan--(The son being born from ShivA and pAravthi as parents-refer 5th
pari-pADAl) and shivA being created by BrahmA who is created by
EmperumAn.--
being termed as mAl marugan , a
nephew. The problem is people still do not realise the differenc between
pArvathi and 'vAishNavi'. 'VaishNavi' being the child exchanged in place of Sri
krshNA. refer --andhari sUTTa kANAk kaNdEAn thOzhi nAn- nAchiyAr
ThiruMozhi - and pArvathi the consort of ShivA.
Therefore, marugan being marabu
vazhi is better than nephew.
2. nATTu p-pEAN is still in
vogue in vAna-mA-malai,thrinelvEali and srivilliputhUr regions. In fact, my
sister's in-laws call her nATTup peN even today.
regards.
3. The sound of 'RA' replaced by 'ThA'
like 'ChiRRam ' to 'ChiTham'
has been to pronounce softly. This has
been time and again reiterated by those who had imparted sandhai to me years
back and also by my grandfather.
The seemingly sound of 'rA' is softly
replaced by 'thA'. I think Kanchi swAm also followed this tradition during
aruLich cheyal sEAvai.
