After having seen the attributes of the
archAvathAra emperumAn in dhivya-dhEsam-s adorned by AzhwAr, the following
questions are addressed?
1. When did AzhwAr became so deeply involved in
these dhivya dhEsam-s?
2. What was the age when AzhwAr commenced this
prabhandham?
3.What is the nature/sweetness of this
prabhandham?
The answers to the above questions are
:
1. AzhwAr's deep involvement in the
dhivya-dhEsam-s blossomed even before a person becomes mature - paruvam
nirambuvadhaRku munnEa. This is also referred from thiruvirutham
pAsuram -60 "mualaiyO muzhu muRRum pOndhilE".- She is not yet fully grown up as
a maiden.
this is to enunciate the fact that AzhwAr intense
intimacy with the LOrd commenced very early from the childhood.
2.AzhwAr started this prabhandham at the age of 16
which is likened to a 16 day full moon.
3. There is a saying that proof of eating is in the
pudding. Accordingly the sweetness of AzhwAr's prabhandham can be determined
from the fact who are all enjoying this prabhandham.
a. "pAlEi thamizhar, isaikArar, bakthar
parvaum Ayiram" thiru voi mozhi 1-5-11;
' thUmudhal bhakthaRku
thAn thannaich chonna" thiru voi mozhi 7-9-3
Both the above verses indicating the sweetness to
the souls of this world.
b. 'kEttu ArAr vAnavargaL chevikkiniya
senjollE" thiru voi mozhi 10-6-3,pointing to the fact that
the nithya sUringaL/ souls in the world above are enjoying this prabhandham
ceaselessly.
c. " en nAvil in
kavi" thiru voi mozhi 3-9-1 mentioning that the
prabhandham originating from the AzhwAr is sweet for AzhwAr also;
d. 'pAr paravu inkavi pAdum paramarE'
thiru voi mozhi 7-9-5 reflecting that the whole
universe is reverberating with the enjoyment of AzhwAr's
prabhandham;
Thus the content and the words are so mixed like
amudham mixed with milk- pAlOdu amudham kalandhAR pOle- emanated from
AzhwAr.
