The Seventh
Ten
thiru-voi-mozhi
The reason for AzhwAr being
detained in the world.
thiru-vARan viLai as the means and
the end.
The Lord's Greatness- omni-potence-is the
auspicious quality highlighted in this yEazhAm
pathu.
What is this potence? The Lord Almighty is
powerful to grant salvation through Him as the means to one and all including,
plants, enemies and others.
Such a Lord bequeathed this to AzhwAr who accepted
this and reached an emotional state where he was unable to be without the Lord's
feet even for a small period of time. This being, so, AzhwAr is in the
midst of this world, the world of materialistic pleasures, the world which is
succumbing to the sensory organs which makes one distance from the Lord
Almighty. Realising this situation, AzhwAr falls off from his normal self and is
in a state where others have to declare his sad state of affairs; "vuNNilAvi aivar"-7-1-->tormenting five sensory
organs.
"kangulum pagalum" and
"veLLaich suri sangodu" 7-2 and 7-3-the mother
parAnkusa nAyaki stating the affairs of AzhwAr .
The Lord displayed His deeds of valour and victory
which reclaimed AzhwAr to his normal self to a certain extent. Nevertheless,
when AzhwAr again recalled the distress haunting this world, he became
griefstruck again. Thus, the state of grief and recovery fluctuated for AzhwAr.
AzhWar questions the Lord
"Azhi ezha" 7-4 display
of victorious deeds by the Lord.
" Oh! Lord Almighty, You are fully
powerful -full of knowledge and power/gnAnam and shakthi- and when I have openly
declared my emptiness acknowledging You as the only refuge, why am I still
kept in this world?"
The Lord's response was " We
desired to listen to your thiru-voi-mozhi. This is
for me and my devotees"
"enRaikkum ennai vuyyak koNdu"
7-9;
There are so many scholars prior to AzhwAr's
period; vyAsar and other saints, the earlier AzhwAr-s.However, The Lord
preferred to get the thiru-voi-mozhi sung through swAmi nam-AzhwAr. What a great help? What a GRace? What a grant? is AzhwAr's
overwhelming exclamations.
What can AzhwAr do in response? Is there anything
with which he can repay for this? No.
The only thing that can be done is singing in
praise of the "Lord with His consort" in thiru-vARan viLai.He is the means and the dhivya-dhEsam and
the em-perumAn is the end-goal to be attained, is the loud message by
AzhwAr again reiterating what he has stated earlier-The Lord as the means and
the End.
"inbam payakka ezhil malar
mAdharum thAnum" 7-10.
