*The Nataraja sports a female earring (kundala) in his left ear * and this is the only give away of its female aspect. Tevaram (640 AD) canon starts with the words - "tOTu uTaiya ceviyan2" - He who sports kuNDala in his ear. Regards, N. Ganesan ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
