THE THIRU-VOI-MOZHI
"AichagamAga iruthi vuRakkoNda swabara
prayOjanathai aruLich cheiyya, en solli,ennAL, pAr, viNNEr, iRappEdhir, edhuvum
engiRa upakAra smrithiyOdEa.."
The Lord discloses the reason for detaining AzhwAr in
this world for so long. " AzhwAr! you were detianed for the sake of us and
for the sake of the srEvaishNavic devotees, by making you sing the great
psalm-thiru-voi-mozhi". Not by kArmic effects but by His desire, the
Almighty detained AzhwAr and made the great thiru-voi-mozhi. The effect is
the benefit for the Lord and for the whole world-the
thiru-voi-mozhi.
Are there no other poets through whom the Lord could
have given this great work? He could have done this through vyAsa, parAsarA,
vAlmikE and so on or thorugh mudhal-AzhwArgaL. However, the Lord blessed swAmi
nam-AzhwAr for this great deed. Indeed a great blessing/A great fortune -is
AzhwAr's gratitude.
Can this gratitude be satisfied easily?No. Even if the
three periods- past,present and future, this cannot be fulfilled. The Grace is
so mammoth.
Can the soul be presented to Him?No even that is
subservient. Hence, AzhwAr continued with the mind of gratitude-gratitude and
gratitude all along.
pAsuram-s:
to have the benefit of thiru-voi-mozhi through
AzhwAr for Himself and the world, AzhwAr was detained
:
"ennai than Akki ennAl thannai,
uRap pala in kavi sonna"---> 7-9-9--> The Lord blessed the world
with thiru-voi-mozhi through AzhwAr.
AzhwAr feels overwhelmed by this great blessing. This
gratitude is expressed time and again in the thiru-voi-mozhi "enraikkum
ennai"7-9.
"en solli niRpanO!" -1-
What can I say for this wonderful Grace?
"ennAL sindhithu
ArvanO!"When shall I be fulfilling this gratitude of this
grace?7-9-7;
"pAr, viN nEr
muRRum"-7-9-8;
"iRappu, edhir kAlam parugilum
ArvanO!" Will I be satisfied even If I consume about His qualities even
for the three tense-periods- past , present and
future?
"vudhavik kai mARu en vuyir enna
vuRRennil , adhuvum maRRu Angu avan thannadhu... edhuvum onRum illai seivadhu
ingum angEA". --7-9-10--> The soul is His. There is nothing to be done
regarding doing anything to Him.
"Am mudhalvan ivan"'--7-9-3
--The Lord selected AzhwAr as the appropriate person for this
purpose.
"in kavi pAdum parama kavigaLAl
than kavi thAn thannai pAduviyAdhu" 7-9-6--The Lord selected me , instead
of granting the thiruvoimozhi through great poets like vyAsa, vAlmiki etc. or
through mudhal-AzhwArgaL.
What a Grace? What a blessing? What a fortune? is the
_expression_ again and again by AzhwAr for the Lord granting thiru-voi-mozhi
through swAmi nam-AzhwAr.
