கடிகை




 Dear Jeyamohan

Indra Neelam is getting polished and attaining brilliance. With my limited knowledge I had this impression that Dhrishtadhymnan was a great warrior. But, you have spent quite sometime to detail about his physical stress and the impact of war at Kambilya. I am trying to figure out the context. May be subsequent chapters will provide the answer.

It is always a pleasure to read about your description of Dwaraka the abode of Neelamanivannan! This time you have written more about the uninhibited lifestyle of the people. You have mentioned about "moongil kadigai" to get out of the ship. Is this some kind of a step ladder? But, kadigai means time or clock too. Right? 

Thank you

Warm regards

Sobana Iyengar

 

அன்புள்ள சோபனா,

கடிகை என்றால் கலம். முன்பு காலத்தை கலத்தில் வைத்த நீரால் கணக்கிட்டனர். ஆகவே அதற்கு காலக்கடிகை என்று பெயர். கடிகாரம் அதிலிருந்து வந்தது

 

இங்கே இது ஒரு மூங்கில்கூடை மட்டுமே
