Dear devotees,
thiru mangai mannan's vEal =weapon made the Lord's
sakkaram as an ornament instead of a weapon. Since, AzhwAr took up the task of
defence portfolio, the Lord's weapon had to adorn the Lord. Inter-alia, this is
spelt in two of periya thiru mozhi pAsuram-s.
1. "mai ilangu malark kuvaLai
marugalarum vayal Ali
nei ilangu sudar Azhip padaiyAnai nedu
mAlai,
kai ilangu vER kaliyan kaNduraitha
thamizh mAlai
aiy iraNdum ivai vallARku aruvinaigaL
adaiyAvE" thiru mozhi 3-6-10
Here ,bhattar correlates the words
'nei ilangu sudar Azhi and kai ilangu vER kaliyan'
- ..avan kayil thiru vAzhi
azhagukkudalAga irukkum ithanai;
ivar kayil vEAl sathrunirasanathAlE
kaRai kazhuva avasaraminRikkEa irukkumAyiRRu'
The sakkaram in the Lord's divine hand is
only adding beauty. The demolition of opponents is taken up by the weapon of
AzhwAr.
2. Similarly, in 5-10-10
"...vuRai koL pugar Azhi , suri sangam avai angai
vudaiyAnai"
After the task of dealing with defiants is
taken by thirumangai AzhwAr, the sakkar of the Lord had to rest in peace in its
sheath.
The fact is that thiru mangai AzhwAr has
taken up the task of dealing with the opponents that the divine weapon gets
rest.
Akin to this, thiru mazhisaip pirAn also
keeps ready his weapon handy always. Does not keep it inside the sheath unlike
the Lord. Hence, termed as 'vuRaiyil idAdhavar'.
Why is it so? Has he also taken up the task
of demolishing the opponents?No. He is not from a warrior clan like
kaliyan.
By his knowledge of the vEdhAs and
experience he takes up the task of defending the supremacy of the LOrd.There are
so many aspects of the Lord.The supremacy, the auspicious qualities, the
childhood details, the sermon of the Lord and so on and so forth.
ThirumazhisaippirAn's pAsuram are all focussing onthe supremacy of the Lord.
After thus discussing varios facets of the
arguments he finally declares:
"Now, I have understood the Lord
of shivA and brahmA. Now, I have understood You the Lord. Now, I have understood
that you are the cause and effect"
The process of such understanding by various
arguments, facts and analysis is bequeathed to us by AzhwAr himself in 'nAnmugan
thiru vandhAdhi'. The commentary of periya vAchAn piLLai is given to us in a
simple manner to eanble us to comprehend easily, by smt. SumithrA
varadharAjan. It is an opportunity for us to capitalise on the subject and
remove any trace of dhEvathAndhram from one's mind once and for
all.
thanks for lucid expressions.
