Tamil roots of sanskrit words

[F.S.Gandhi vandayar]

Dear friends,


‘Okku’ is a old tamil word means ‘Thani’. Since a replica of something becoming the same of a thing this ‘okku’ turned in meaning as ‘Pontra, ontrana’.

The same okku is used in telugu as ‘Okkati’.

‘Kokku OKKA kompum paruvaththu’- kural use this word.

This okka turned as ok – ak – aak (ontru) in Sanskrit.

Since Sanskrit is ‘DEVA BASHA’ this ‘aak’ is taken in many words of Sanskrit as root.

‘God is one’ is the principle in any religion. Other gods are specified as ‘Thoothuvar’ in Christin / muslim religion and ‘Avathaar’ in Hindu / Inthu religion.

Hence this ‘AAK’ specifies god’s nature and is root of many words like ‘param’ in Sanskrit.

Observe the following words.

Aaka kundalan – Okka + kundavan = Palaraman was called in this name.

Aaka Chakrathipathi – Okka + Chakkaram + Athi + pathi = Arasan

Aaka thandi – Okka + Thandam = Sanniyasi / godman

Aaka Thanthan – Okka + Thantham (elephant) – Vinayakar / pillaiyar / Lor Ganesh

Aaka pokam – Okka + Pokuthal / spend – ‘Thani yaka anupavi’ – Enjoy singularly.
