---------- Forwarded message --------- From: 'gopala krishnan' via iyer123 <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2024 at 07:41 Subject: [iyer123] Seethai azhakal kettal, Panchali vaayal kettal To: Patty Thatha <[email protected]>, Kerala Iyer < [email protected]>, Iyer <[email protected]>, Narayanaswamy Iyer <[email protected]>, Venkat Raman <[email protected]>, N Sekar <[email protected]> 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. Gopalakrishnan 9-3-2024 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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
