Many eminent brAhmaNas brought sacred waters from the four directions and sprinkled the water around the wedding arena.

These brAhmaNas, who are experts in conducting marriage events, bless the bride and bridegroom in high pitch. Instead of <em>pallAr eduththEththi<\/em>, there is a variation in the text as <em>pallANdu eduththEththi<\/em> [meaning is the same as in the earlier one].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>pUppunai kaNNip punidhanOdu<\/strong> \u2013 unlike ANdAL, the bride, who is decorated extensively during the time of wedding, for kaNNa pirAn, the bridegroom, only one garland was used.

Does kaNNan have such <em>AchAram<\/em>? [being a cowherd, he normally moves with plenty of his friends through the day, and is not known to observe such <em>AchAram<\/em>] It appears that since he was going to marry the divine daughter of periyAzhwAr, unless he showed that he followed all the tenets of <em>AchAram<\/em>, he will not be allowed to marry ANdAL; hence, he voluntarily brought in these <em>AchAram<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>en thannai kAppu nAN katta<\/strong> \u2013 though I did not get to touch him, the way I desired, I had the fortune to touch the <em>purOhit<\/em> (the priest who conducts the wedding ceremony) who, in turn, had touched kaNNan.
