Thamarai -  A Symbol Contraction and Expansion
 
The contraction and Expansion
 
Sri Poizhgai AzhwAr in the mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 66 the LOtus looks for the sun to blossom in the morning
 
" oN pU vuyarum kathiravanEA nOAkkum' and
 
 
corroborated by
 
Sri Kula-sEkarAzhwAr in PerumAL thirumozhi declares that 'come what may, the lotus does not blossom,  unless it sees the sun's rays"
 
 
 ".senkamalam andharam sEAr venkathirOaRkallAl alarAvAl"  5-6;
 
It is said that science is universal and does not change from place to place in the earth. True, the lotus does blossom on looking up at the sun be it in India or in the US or in Singapore. 
 
This is the general rule.
 
Here is the exception to the rule.
 
The Lotus on the divine naval of the Lord can view Sri SudharsAnAzhwAn and Sri Panchajanyam on the shoulders of the Lord. It blossoms on seeing the SudharsanAzhwAn and closes itself when it sees the pAnchajanyam. Apparently, Sri ChakrathAzhwAr is brighter than the sun and the pAnchajanyam plays the role of the moon resulting in opening and closing of the 'thAmarai'. This is the Expansion and Contraction. 
 
This is not just an imagination from my side but described by sAkshAth Thamizhth thalaivan in the mUnRAm ThriuvandhAdhi
 
'Angu malralum kuviyum-mAl vundhi-Vai-
ONgu kamalathin oN podhu, Angai thigiri sudar ennum
veN sangam vAnil pagarum mathi enRum pArthu"  67;
 
This is the Exception to the rule and exceptions do occur only when the lotus in the nAval of EmprumAn who is adorned by Divine Conch and Mace.
 
And thus The rule for this ThAmarai can perhaps also be called as
'A Symbol of Exception to the Rule"
