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.. 
Thirumangai AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam

Namo Narayana
dAsan
