Dear Indologists,
I have noticed some ōṭuvārs sing the first verse of the Cuntarar Tēvāram
by splitting the word perumāṉē by splitting it into peru and māṉē, which
does not sound right semantically. Other ōtuvārs keep the word perumāṉē
whole. When I mentioned it to a musicologist, he offered the following
versions of the verse.
_Tiruppaṉantāl Edition_
/pittāpiṟai cūṭīperu māṉēaru ḷāḷā/
/ettālmaṟa vātēniṉaik kiṉṟēṉmaṉat tuṉṉai/
/vaittāypeṇṇait teṉpālveṇṇai nallūr aruṭṭuṟaiyuḷ/
/attāuṉak kāḷāyiṉi allēṉeṉal āmē/
_Saiva Siddhanta Edition_
/pittāpiṟai cūṭīperu māṉēyaru ḷāḷā/
/ettāṉmaṟa vātēniṉaik kiṉṟēṉmaṉat tuṉṉai/
/vaittāypeṇṇait teṉpālveṇṇai nallūraruṭ ṭuṟaiyuḷ/
/attāvuṉak kāḷāyiṉi allēṉeṉa lāmē/
Prof. E. Angayarkkanni, in her discussion of the first line of the same
verse, considers the line to be of 4 /cīr/s made up of one /īracaiccīr
/followed by three /mūvacaiccīr/ (/cuntarar tēvārap pāṭalkaḷil icai/, p.
104), which gives rise to /pittā piṟaicūṭī perumāṉē aruḷāḷā./ Although
she does not discuss other lines of the verse, we can see the third line
of the verse would not fit the pattern of the first line.
Is there a ‘correct’ way of splitting the /cīr/s? Even if such a way
exists what would have been the relationship between that and the actual
manner of singing by Cuntarar or his followers?
Unfortunately, the Pondicherry T. V. Gopal Iyer edition of the Tēvāram
does not give the cīr-based version. Does anyone know if TVG has
discussed the prosody of this verse in any of his other publications?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Palaniappan
