Seethai azhakal kettal, Panchali vaayal kettal

Dear friends,

Today in one of the responses, revered Mr Narayanaswamy quoted the above
saying commonly used by Kerala iyers. The Malayalam translation was used by
other Keralites. The same saying may be used in other states also.

The rough English translation is “Because of her beauty, Seethai had all
the problems; Because of the talkative nature Panchali had all the problems
in her life.  I thought of expanding how the saying appeared.

In fact the saying is sometimes used as two also. First part -Just like
Seethai azhakal kettal and second part just like Panchali Vaayal kettal.

In fact Seethai Vayal kettal, Panchali  azhakal kettal is also correct.

1. Occasion for the saying Seethai azakal kettal

Sree Rama left for forest life, for keeping up the boon given by King
Dasaratha to Kaikeyi. Sree Rama had his abode near Panchavati. At that time
Soorphanaka sister of Ravana came across their abode. She was attracted to
Sri Rama and requested him to marry her. Sree Rama told he is married,
better go to Lakshmana, who is not married. Soorpanakha placed her request
to marry her to Lakshmana. He too told he was married. She started placing
her request again and again to both, she got ridiculed. She saw the
beautiful Seetha in the abode and started attacking her. In  the on-going
fight, her nose was cut by Lakshmana.

“Rejected, Shurpanakha then approached his younger brother, Lakshmana, who
said that he is only second to Ram and therefore not worthy of her.
Infuriated by their dismissals, the humiliated and envious Shurpanakha
returned to her demonic form and attacked Sita, but was thwarted by
Lakshmana, who cut off her nose” Google search.

She went to Ravana, explained  her meeting Seetha, the beautiful woman, who
is well suited to him than Sree Rama and provoked him to get Seetha.

So Ravana devised plan to kidnap Seetha, appearing in the form of a
bhikshu. He compelled Maricha to assist him by threatening. Maricha took
the form of a deer and appeared near the abode of Sree Rama.

Seetha was attracted to the beauty of deer, desired Sree Rama to get it for
her. Sree Rama started to catch the deer, instructing Lakshmana to ensure,
he is near abode.. Minutes passed. Deer  started jumping  away  from Sree
Rama and suddenly  called Lakshamana, come for help, in Sree Rama’s voice.

Lakshmana remained unchanged, but Seetha forced him to go to aid Sree Rama, her
words were not pleasant, doubting immorality with Lakshmana. He drew a line
beyond which she should not cross called- Lakshmana Rekha and started to
help Sree Rama.

Ravana appeared as Bhikshu, without doubt Seetha brought alms, she remained
well behind Lakshmana rekha, but Ravana could not go crossing  Lakshmana
rekha, he requested Sita to offer alms crossing the Rekha. She offered
crossing Lakshmana Rekha due to some mesmerism. Bhikshu changed his form to
Ravana and  kidnapped Seetha and carried her in Pushpaka Viman to Lanka and
kept her under women guards in Ashokavanam.

“Once Lakshmana leaves in search of Rama, the rakshasa king, Ravana,
arrives on the site in the form of a mendicant, and asks Sita for alms. Not
suspecting the ploy, she unsuspectingly crosses the Lakshmana Rekha to
provide alms to him. Ravana promptly kidnaps her and flies her to Lanka
upon his Pushpaka Vimana” Google search.

Lakshmana would not have left the abode unless Sita used immoral words at
lakshmana. Ravana would not have kidnapped her unless she was very
beautiful.

Hence Sita Azhakal kettal and vayal kettal, both are correct. Regarding
Panchali I will post tomorrow.
