aNDathin mugadazhundha
alai munnEr thirai thathumba
Amidst the tragedy and trauma after the
calmity caused by tsunami waves, sri thirumangai mannan's pAsuram haunts my
mind. The enormity of the pAsuram-s and the impact has gone home only after this
tsunami has hit the coast.
the waves swallowing the whole world
submerging the landmass is easily described by nElan in the thiru-mozhi "mai ninRa karum kaDal vAyulagainRi ..." thiru-mozhi
11-6;
The ninth pAsuram "
aNdathin mugadazhundha alai munnEr thirai thathumba-hA! hA! enRu thoNdarkkum
munivarkkum amararkum thAn aruLi.." 11-10;
When the tidal waves sweep across the land
mass and the waters surge on in, the devotees and saint feel " oh! what a thing has a happened" . the Lord rescue them
and appease their feelings.
This thiru-mozhi compeltely narrates the
world being swallowed by the waters. The more I read the pAsuram-s it is more
menacing especailly after the tsunami waves of dec.26.
'
We should really hope that the LOrd keeps
us in His belly and not allow the sea waves to engulf us.
"veRRip pOre kadal
araiyan vizhungAmal thAn vizhungi vuyyak koNDa" thiru-mozhi
