The Fifth Ten
kaNNUkkiniyana
kaNdOam.
"mEavip parambum avarOdokkath
thozhil yuga dhOsham illai yAm enRu vishNu bhakthi pararAkki kaNNukkiniyana
kAttalAmpadiyar AnAr kaNNilEa nOkkik kANum bhakthisidhAnjanathai idugiRAr anjAm
pathil"
Summary: brahma, rudhra,
indhirargaL surrendered to Lord krishNA. They spread over the worlds like Lord
Almighty, by approaching Him and escaped from the clutches of kali
yugam. Similarly, 'approach Lord krishNA'
and become srEvaishNavites' is the counsel by swAmi nam-AzhwAr. Even the
souls who fall within the class of "asurA"
clans get reformed and become srE vishNu's
devotees.
AzhwAr is very happy to see the vision of devotees of
the Lord. He exclaims "kaNNukkiniyana kaNdOam" Even before rest of the souls
get reformed, AzhwAr had this divine vision of srEvaishNavic devotees and called
upon all such souls.
The end is so sweet that even the formal way of
waiting for Him to be led to Him by Him is violated. This mindset of AzhwAr, can
be realised only by viewing from AzhwAr's mind. This confidence of transgression
of means is largely influenced by the nature of the goal. This knowledge/
bhakthi is imparted by AzhwAr in this fifth ten by divine
advice.
pAsuram-s:
The other deities like brahma, rudhra and indhira had
approached Lord krishNA and spread their wings around the world like the
Lord.
"nakka pirAnum, ayanum, indhiranum
mudhalAga thokka amarar kuzhAngaL engum parandhana thondEr"--thiru voi mozhi
5-2-10.
Thus devotees pervaded all the place.
How?
"mEavik kaNNan thiru
mUrhty"-- thiru voi mozhi 5-2-10
They approached and surrendered to the Lord
krishNA.
This is a great sight. A sweet and divine vision.
What a sight seeing srEvaishNavites
everywhere
"kaNdOam ! kaNdOAm !
kaNdoAm"
The end to be attained is so sweet and immeasurable.
Hence, the means -the formal waiting attitutde for Him - is withered off
considering this yearning for Him.The extreme bhakthi/devotion results in this.
Though, the soul is convinced that the final salvation will not escape, the soul
is restless and yearns for the Lord when thinking of the sweet end. This is what
is mentioned when AzhwAr calls for vieweing with his mind
" en nenjinAl nOkkik kANEr"---
> thiru voi mozhi 5-5-2; -see with my mind to understand my
feelings.
This extreme devotion resulting in the taste for end
overtaking the means is thus counselled by swAmi nam-AzhwAr in the fifth
ten.
anjAm pathu.
