nam-piLLai
In the earlier postings it was seen that swAmi nampiLLai had explained
regarding adjectives, examples and real-life events. SwAmi also explains
menaings of words or terms, in two or three different ways, whenever multiple
interpretations are possible. Further, swAmi also refers to interpretations by
taimil scholars then and there.
One instance in the following pAsuram:
"madhuvAr thannan thuzhAiAn
mudhu vEdha mudhalvanukku,
edhuvE enpaNi ennAdhu,
adhuvE At cheiiyum EdE" 1-6-2
The preceding pAsuram -1-6-1 of thiru voi mozhi ends with the term"purivadhuvum
pugai pUvE" which means the next pAsuram -thiru voi mozhi being thiru andhAdhi-
should commence with the syllable "va" "vA" and so on.
However, it is seen the next pAsuram commences with the word "madhuvAr".
For this Edu is reproduced here: " 'purivadhuvum pugai pUvE ' enRadhu kEzh;
idhil ' madhuvAr thannan thuzhAyAn'
enRu thodangiRru; idhu sERumpadi en enna; "pUvAgil madhuvOdE
kUdiallAdhirAmaiyAlE, sErum" enRu solluvar thamizhar.
Though, the words may not strictly comply with andhAdhi, the meaning of the
term 'pU' is brought forth as the beginning of the next pAsuram. How? 'pU'
meaning flower is always with the nectar-madhu. This is being construed as the
beginning of the next pAsuram linking the chain in the andhAdhi scenario. This,
swAmi nam-piLLai mentions as being mentioned by tamil-scholars-enRu solluvar
thamizhar.
However, swAmi nam-piLLai also spells out another interpretation. "vadhuvAr
thannan thuzhAiyAn" enRu pAdamAna pOdhu, pOrach chErum.vadhuvai enbadhu manam;
Ardhal enbadhu pUrNam; ...naRu nARRathaiyudaiya thuzhAi enRumAm. idhu thamizhar
pOrach chErum enbar.
If the word is understood as "vadhuvAr" the meaning would be good-scented
thuzhAi. Which is also the meaning of the last term of the preceding pAsuram.
Further, the words have been adopeted from the final term of the preceding
pAsuram -puri-vadhuvum pugai pUvE.
Hence, this being both cogent with the meaning and word of the final term of
the prevous pAsuram, this is being greatly appreiated by the tamil-scholars.
This kind of multiple interpretations and referrence to tamil-scholars is
replete in Edu. In 'sonnAl virOdhamidhu' thiru voi mozhi 3-9 this can be seen
in several pAsuram-s.
