Dear Bhagavathars,
Adiyen would like to refer to the Pasurams where
they have used the numbers from 1 to 10 and what they conveyed is
thought
provoking.
1. Almost all Azwars have used this number 1 as muDal Vithu,
muDalvane,munnaVane etc and umpteen times and
in
different places they have used which does not require separate
mention. Oru Alilliyil pallikondan has been used by all Alwars. Thirumangai
Azwar in his Thiruvezukutrikkai stars with Oru Perunthi (from the Lord
Narayana all are born) and ends his Pasuram with Ninadi panivene.
2. It
will be clear from Thiruvezikaikutrarrikai that the Azwar has used "Irupirappu
Oru MaNaGi" . He says the Lord
Narayana disguised Himself as a dwarf
brahmin , by hiding ThayAr in HIS chest duly covered with deers skin.
3
The same line Muppuri NooloDu - which refers to the thread being worn by a
brahamachari who was NARAYANA HIMSELF
as VAMANA AVATHARAM with a begging
bowl and kamandalam.. Aram Porul Inbam is the other expressions used by
Azwars.
It is common to note OM Shanthi,Om Shanthi, Om Shanthi is almost
used.
4. Vedam NanGu, IynDu Velvi, anGam Aru, Isai Ezhu (Peria
Thirumozhi 6.7.7
This one Pasuram itself explains
the number 4 to 7. Thiruvezikutririkkai explains the number 1 to 7 which
represents Temple Chariot and
he has dealt with it very well.
Vedam - Yajur,Sama,Atharvana &
Rig
Iyndu Velvi - Prithvi, appu, Agasam, Thejas,
Vayu
Angamaru - Seechai, Viyagaranam, Santhas,
knruktham, Jyothisham, Kalppam./ Gnanam, Balam,Ishvaryam, veeryam &
Shakthi is other six referred to.
Isai Ezu - Ezhu
Swarangal
Thirumangai Mannan has covered all these numbers upto 7 and let
us see which Azwars has given importance to the numbers in their
Pasurams.
4 & 5 has been used by Thirumazichaipiran in his
Thiruchanda Viruttam as:-
"kulanGalaya
Irirandil ondrilum piranthilen
nalangalaya nanarkalaigal nalilum
navindrilen
pulangal Iynthum vendrilen
porielen punitha nin
ilangupatha
mandri matror patrilen em
esaney"
Pasuram 90
1,2,3,4 & 5 has been used in his first Pasuram
itself.
"Poonilaya Iyndumai punarKan nindra
Nangumai
Theenilaya Moondrumai sirantha kal
irandumai
MeenilayathorndumaGi veru veru
thanmayai
Neenilaya vannam ninnai yar
ninaikavallarey"
5. In Moondram Thiruvandathi Peiazwar mentions in
Pasruam 12 which reads like this.
"arivennum Thalkoluvi
Iympunalum thamil
serivennumThinkaDavam seMi
marieNum
nanGothi nanGuNarVar KanBare
NalDorum
PynGothavaNanpadi."
1,2 & 3 has been use by Thirumangai Mannan in his Peria
Thirumozhi as given below:
"Oru kuralai Iru
nilam Moovadi Mann Vendi
Ulaganithum
EradialoDukki onrum
tharugavena Mavaliai
siriel vaitha
ThaDalan
ThalaNaiveer"
Now let us go from 6 to 10.
The best quote is from the
E-book 98 & 105 and almost 6 & 7 has been covered in E-book 98.
7.
Great Rivers.I quote from E-book 98
"Ganga cha Yamuna
chaive Godhavaree Saraswathi
Narmada Sindhu
Kaveri jalesmin snmidam kuru"
Vishnu Puranam mentions
about 7 mountains as
"Mahendro Malaya Sahya
Suktiman Riksha parvata
Vindyascha
Paariyaatrascha Sajota atra Kula Paravatta"
Thirupanazwar in his
Amalanathipran mentions as
"AnDarandapaGiranDathu oru Manilam ezumal varai ..... Pasuram 6
In
Thiruchand Viruttam 79 there is a reference
8. ETTezuthu OthuVargal
vallarVanaMalave is the reference by Thirumazichaipiran in his Pasuram 77
Thiruchandaviruttam followed
by adigarasangrigam 45 . No one would have
covered this no 8 other than Desigar whcih explains very
well.
"EttuMa Moorthy yenKaNan eN thiKu eTiray eN
prugRuthi eTuMavariGal EnDra veN GuNaThon
ettuNuMenn GuNaMayorKu eTuMamalar eNsithi eNpathi etuYoGanGam eN
selvam
eTuMaGunaM eTTeNum kalai eTiratha
Melathuvum eTinave
7,8 & 1 has been coverd by Thirumangai Mannan in
his Pasuram 3.4.1 which is like this:
"eN DisaiGalum
EzulaGamum Vangi Ponvitrril paithu
panDu
Oraliliyil paLikonDavan PalMathikku eDarthirthavan
OnthiraluNavuNarathukir vaithavan OLeytrodu
ThiNkaimathuar Thirthavan ThiruvenGadam aDai nenJey"
9 &
10
In Thiruchandaviruttam Pasuram 79 there is a mention
of 10,7 & 9 which is like this:
" pathinodu
pathumai Orezinodu OronBathai
pathinal Disai kaN
ninDra Nadu petra nanmial
pathinal Thotramodu
OraTral miKa Athipal
pathaMavarkalathu
muthi mutralagume"
Here the Azwar clearly mentions
that HE is the Antharyami of 10 Dikvijars. There are 7 swarngals with 9
navarasams.
In each He is the SWAMI is the
ultimate fact.
If there is any mistake in the quote from Sanskrit
slokas it is entirely mine and adiyen is responsible and request the
Bagawathars to
excuse me.
adiyen,
nochalur seshadri
sampath.
