Old threads
  • Hi all,

    There was a thread that Thailand had Tamil influence and a mention
    of the word "Sugodhayam". Tirumoolar uses this word in Tirumanthiram
    as follows

    thoTiyAr thaTakkaich chukOthaya chun^thari
    vaTivAr thiripurai yAmaN^kai chaN^kaich
    cheTiyAr vinaikeTach chErvarai enRen
    aTiyAr vinaikeTuth thAthiyu mAmE

    What does "Sugodhaya Sundari" mean here? In the book I have
    (ku.pa.annamalai) its said a comfortable beautiful lady. Probably
    Thailand is called Sugodhaya because life is comfortable there(in
    those period). any further thoughts?

    Kamal,

    During the trip we were discussing about Narasimha's Kudaivarai and
    you mentioned a place where it is present. I was telling you that
    Dr.KKvn has mentioned that Tirukazhukundram Kudaivarai is of
    Narasimha and searched for its page in the book.

    I got it now. In Pen deiva vazhipadu, page 36 Dr.kkvn says that
    Tirukazhukkundram is the only Narasimha kudaivarai with inscription.
    Just thought of sharing the information with you.

    Banumandala Madhyasta, is a name of Goddess Shakti from Lalitha
    Sahasranama. Banumandalam is Suryamandalam. So, Sukodhaya Sundari,
    may mean, Goddess Lalitha. Why Lalitha, is her dhyanaslokam starts
    with 'Arunaam karunatharangi dhaaksheem..'. Arunam is colour of dawn.
    Kaalai ilamkathir.

    Surprisingly 'Thiripurai yaamanai komalame..' comes in Abirami
    Andhathi too.

    Rajendhra Cholan!

Howdy, Stranger!
