SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwArs wonderful verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan. kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama: I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali dhOsham. Let us enjoy Periya Thirumozhi 11.5.10 on ThiruvEnkatam. AhwAr who had enjoyed the avtaars of SarvEshwaran, now expresses the greatness of Emperumaan is sazzhal form. Saazhal pAsurams are like two parties teasing each other as to who is greater. Your side or my side. One friend of Parakala nayaki takes the Parathavam (Supremacy) of The Lord as her favorite, while the other one enjoys His sowlabhyam. Sri Anbil Ramaswamy one had written: Parathvam kaNdu anjAmaikku sowlabhyam; Sowlabhyam kaNdu igazhaamaikku parathvam. (In order not to get scared of His Parathvam, Sowlabhyam needs to be of thought of; in order not to belittle His Greatness, Parathvam needs to be contemplated.) .In this ten, AzhwAr enters into a duel, where Parathvam and sonwbhayam are argued in saazhal style. One side extols the greatness of RaamA and KrishNa , the VibhavAvathArams , while the other side mocks at such celerbration by questioning that greatness of the Lord in a playful way. (A light hearted quarrel to enjoy GuNAanubahavms of PerumAL). Let us get into the scene and witness the fight and ENJOY.. 1. Maanamaru mennOkki vaidhEvi inthuNaiyaak* Kaanamarun kalladharpOyk kaadu uRaindhaan kaaNEdI!* Kaanamarun kalladharpOyk kaadu uRanidha pon adikkaL* Vaanavartham senni malar kaNdaay saazhalE! One girl: my friend! Look at the way He walked on those hard stones and lived in the forest with the most beautiful deer eyed Sita PiraTTi, as His sweet spouse. (implying that He is such a sowlabhyan to walk on this earth in the forest to live there. ) Her friend: Know well clearly that the Lotus Feet (of the One who resided in the forest) are the flowers that adorn the Nithyasooris. (He is The Chief- Parathvam). Is there any grievance for us, as He is the ParipoorNan? [today?s verse on ThiruvEnkatam ? 10th verse] 10. kaLLatthaal maavaliyai moovadi maN koNdu aLandha* veLLatthaan vEnkatthaan enbaaraal kaaNEdI! veLLatthaan vEnkatthaanElum* kalikanRi* uLLatthinuLLE uLan kaNdaay saazhalE! (an excellent ending of this ten by our Great AzhwAr) One girl: oh friend: Cunningly, He cheated Bhali and got the three worlds from Bhali. He is The One who reclines in the milky Ocean, having his Yoga nitthrA thinking as to how and what all good that He can do to us. Look at Him, who has come to ThiruvEmkatam also. Her friend: See. The One who reclines in Milky Ocean who has come down to ThiruvEmkatam is the One who is also in the heart of Kaliyan also. let us enjoy one more verse in addition to the above two verses: the third paasuram in this decad : ( Periya Thirumozhi:11.5.3): Aazh soozh kadal vaiyahatthAr yEsap pOy Aaypaadi thAzh kuzhalAr vaittha tayir undAn kaaNN yEDi thazzh kuzhalAr vaittha tayir unda ponn vaiyiRu ivv- vEzhu ulaham undum idamm udaitthu aal saazhalE One set says : " Oh my dear Friends !What a pity !How despicable ! How low has your KrishNA descended ? You hail Him as the great one . How come this One without any appetite (for Vishaya sukhams) stooped low to steal the curds from the pots of gopis , which were put away purposely out of His reach by those gopis with beautiful, long hair ? How come He became the object of ridicule and derision by the uneducated gopis if He is BhagavAn Himself ?Please explain this mystery to us . The other group takes the cudgels on behalf of their beloved Bhagavaan and answers " the accusing " group . They point out that it is really a wonder that the Lord's stomach which does not suffer form hunger at all could still accomodate the space for the fresh curds even after consuming the seven worlds during PraLayam to protect them . Such is His greatness ". This friendly ribbing and teasing goes on in a spirit of Bhagavadh guNAnubhavam . With this, this series on Periya Thirumozhi concludes. Let us enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr few other verses from his nedun, kuRunthaaNdakam, madals..
