Their [followers of yama] grotesque forms will be terrible to look at. piRkAlum<\/em> means on top of that. Have the cruelties in hell not been mentioned in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 4-5-7 \u201cthennavanthamar seppamilAdhAr sEvadhakkuvAr pOlap pugundhu pinnum vankayiRRAl piNiththeRRip pin munnAga izhuppadhan munnam<\/em>\u201d (the followers of yama, who do not have any finesse in their actions, will drive the soul as if they are driving oxen; they will drag the soul upside down with their ropes)!<\/p>\n kodidhenRu<\/strong> \u2013 thinking that as being very cruel<\/p>\n adhu kUdA munnam<\/strong> \u2013 before reaching that place [hell]<\/p>\n vadi sangam koNdAnai<\/strong> \u2013 one who has the sharp SrI pAnchajanyam (divine conch) on his divine hand. Do we need to talk about its sharpness since it is a weapon! Or, if we take the sound emanating from the conch as referring to its sharpness, then we can say that this talks about the greatness of conch whose sound can kill the enemies. Has it not been mentioned in SrI bhagavath gIthA 1-19<\/a> \u201csa ghOshO dhArthrAshtrANAm hrudhayAni vyadhArayath<\/em>\u201d (the sound of krishNa\u2019s conch tore the hearts of dhrutharAshtra\u2019s sons). Or, we can construe that the word vadi<\/em> also refers to its beauty. In other words, one who has the beautiful conch in his divine hand.<\/p>\n kUndhal vAy kINdAnai<\/strong> \u2013 one who tore the mouth of the demon kESi who came in the form of a horse. Horse is referred to us kUndhalmA<\/em> [animal with hair]. Since horse has hair on the nape of its neck, it is referred to as kUndhal. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n kongai nanju uNdAnai<\/strong> \u2013 one who killed pUthanA. emperumAn<\/a> killed kESi in later years while he killed pUthanA as an infant.
