bhagavatas, There
was a short break in this series of postings due to anadyayana kAlam. Since now it is thirumazhisai azhvar
utsava time, his thirunakshatram thaiyil magam coming in few more days adiyen
would like to continue with this series to enjoy the divine anubhavams of azhvar
and remain in his thoughts atleast during this
period. Paasuram-31 “mEl
nanmugan aranai yitta vidusApam thAn nAraNan ozhiviththAn
thAragaiyul-vAnOr perumAnai EththAdha pEigAl pirakkum
karumAyam pEsil
kadhai” In the previous paasuram thirumazhisai azhvar declared
that emperuman is the only one who removes all his miseries. Is it only for azhvar? ‘Oh! No. He is capable of removing the sorrow of
even the devas (brahma, rudras) who you all consider as your lord. So fall to his divine feet’ advices
azhvar in this paasuram. (mEl
nAnmugan aranai yitta vidu sApam) Earlier nAnmuga brahma was infuriated by the
devastating act of his own son rudra, who plucked one of brahma’s head out of
jealousy. Hence Brahma cursed rudra
to become a kapali (the head stuck to rudra’s
hand) (thAn
nAranan ozhiviththAn thAragaiyul) Rudra wandered everywhere to get rid of the
kapalam in his hand but all in vain.
Finally he surrendered to Sriman Narayanan who alone was capable of
overcoming this great misery of rudra. (vAnOr
perumAnai) One son plucked his father’s head and remained a great sinner. The father cursed the son and was left
with deep sorrow. Emperuman came to
the rescue of both of them and removed their misery. Deeply involved in the great acts of
emperuman the nithya sooris are ever under his divine feet or otherwise even the
other devas on seeing this act of emperuman have realized that the supreme
leader is none other than Sriman nArayanan and hence emperuman is called as
‘vAnOr perumAn’ by azhvar (vAnOr refers to either the nithya sooris or the lowly
devas) (EththAdha
pEigAl) Oh! Fools. Inspite of knowing all these why are you
still not singing the praise of the divine lord. Do you know what result you will
attain do to your foolishness? These are
azhvars words in utter frustration that the people out of ignorance are still
suffering in this samsara. (pirakkum
perumAyam pEsil kadhai) If you do not surrender to the divine feet of emperuman
then you are sure to be born again and again. “mAri mAri palapirappum pirandhu” and
each time you will have to experience the bitter hardships inside the womb of
the mother. If I start telling
about all those difficulties, then it will become one another mahabharatha
story. (To Be Continued)
