Dear swAmi,
The vyAkyAnam for the pAsuram
"kariya mA-mugil padalangaL kidandhu, avai muzhangida,
kaLiRu enRu periya mAsuNam variaiyena peyar tharu,
piridhi..." 1-2-10;
is
'..malaikkuch siRappuch sollumavargaL, malaip-pAmbugaL yAnaiyai vizhungum,
ennak kadavargaL, AgaiyAl kariya mAmugil padalangaL kidandhu muzhangiRavaRRai
periya-mAsuNamAnadhu , Anaiyai buddhi paNNi AmishArthamAga malai pEArndhAr
pOle, kAl vAngi vandhu .....AgaiyiREA periya mAsuNamenRadhu-Anaiyai
vizhungumpadiyAyiRRu idhinudaiya perumai iruppadhu'.
A crude translation :
" Those who mention the speciality of mountains, say that pythons are capable
of swallowing even elephants. Therefore, the blank clouds and the sounds
emanating from these are mistook this for elephants and muster themselves as
hill to devour... That is why these are termed as
'periya-mAsuNam'. The nature and speciality of these pythons lies in swallowing
the elephants'
Normally, when clouds and lightning occur, the serpants take refuge in their
holes. However, these pythons dare out in numbers as if to devour the
elephants. That is the paradox.
