AchArya hridhayam sUthram 121
continued:
The fact that Azhwar s feminine
approach- peN pEachu- is natural to the soul is being
explained:
Janma bhUmiya vittaganRu: The soul leaves its world of birth to the abode of the Lord.
How can this world be termed as place of birth? As the soul
gets the knowledge of ?thiru mandhiram? through the AchAryan, this can be
termed as the place of birth ?janma bhUmi. Thirumazhisaip pirAn aptly puts
this as follows:? anRu nAn pirandhilEan?.
Hence, the soul leaves this world for eternal abode which
is akin to the daugher leaving her house for in-laws
place.
SUzh visumbiRpadiyE: The soul follows the
path as described in the thiru voi mozhi ??sUzh visumbu aNi mugil?
=-archirAdhi mArgam. It is being welcomed by one and all therein. Follows the
Lord and at the time of entering His palace gets itself into ablutions-virajA
nadhi.
?viyan thuzhAi? ? anjanathin nEru? ?nAnap podi?
pEthaga Adai? ?pal kalan koNdu?: On getting the sacred bath, the soul
is adorned as follows;
?viyan thuzhAi?: ?viyan thuzhAi kaRpenRu sUdum?;
?ArAr vErkaN anjanathin nEru aNindhu? ?mei thimirum nAnap
podi? ?vuduthu kaLaindha nin pEdhaga Adai vuduthu? ?pal kalanum yAm
aNIvOm?
These are being adorned like garlands, anjanam, podi,
pudavai and other such ornaments Thus the soul is adorned with brahma
alankAram. ?divine adornments?.
PallAndu isaithuk kavari seiyya:
As mentioned in thiru voi mozhi ?thokkup pallAndu isaithuk
kavari seivar yEzharE?, the soul is being not only welcomed but is doneall
the service-kainkaryam like ?sAmaram? ?niRai kudai vilakkam? i.e.?nidhiyum
naR chunnamum , niRai kuda
vilakkamum? are being held for the soul by sacred women;
Vaikundham pukkirundhu: With such path
leading to ablutions, adornments, service , welcomes, the soul enters the
abode of the Lord. Cherishes His togetherness.. Relsihes the togethernessnot
only with Him but with the devotees over there ?nithya-mukthargaL? ?adiyArgaL.
Experiences the Lord?s qualities like the nithya sUrigaL.
KOppudaiya kattukkAl midhithu yEAri: The soul steps on the divine cot , the
majestic cot on which the supreme Lord rests, and who seeks to embrace the
soul;
Kuru mA maNiyAiyum vasthuvukku:
Similar to the kousthupa mani, the soul also adorns the
divine chest of the Lord.
Thus, for the soul, this accent namely ?maNivallippEachu?
is natural and not artificial.
Conclusion: How come, this indicates that
this ?peN pEachu? the accent of woman is natural to the soul is being
discussed here. The aforementioned elaboration is to make a simile to thesoul
to a woman being nurtured and ultimately entering her Lord?s house and the
Lord, which is but natural for a woman. Akin to that, the soul?s accentis
also so,, naturally like a feminine.
