   The Sanskrit thaniyan for Thiruppaavai by Sriman Naadhamuni
   says "gOdhaa," not "kOdhaa."  Both "gOdhaa" and "kOdhaa"
   will be written the same way in Tamil, but differently
   in Sanskrit.  This makes me assume that the Sanskrit
   version, i.e. "gOdhaa" is correct.  Further, I am not
   sure whether "gOdhaa" is "given by cow".
