SrI:
Dear BhakthAs of Lord DevanAthan :
Let us have additional reflections on the first three
Paasurams that we covered in the last posting .
Insights of Vaikunta Vaasi Chetlur NarasimhAchAry
Swamy are included here.
Paasuram 1: (AruL tarum adiyAr...)
***********************************
This paasuram starts with the AmruthAsharam of
( A) as in the case of the Prabhandham of AmalanAdhipirAn
of ThiruppANa AazhwAr. AkAram , the first letter of
the alphabet , "A" is the most auspicious because of its
connection to VishNu ( AkArO VishNu Vaachaka: ,
"A" ithi BhagavathO NaarAyaNasya praTamAbhidhAnam
abhidhadhathA kim nAma mangaLam na krutham ? ).
All mangaLams arise from the links to AkAram . This
amruthAkshara prayOgam through the choice of
the word , "AruL" at the beginning of MummaNikkOvai
Prabhandham (aruL tarum adiyavar paal meyyai
vaitthu theruL tara ninRa DhaivanAyaka! ) makes this
SrI Sookthi very auspicious.
The Lord is at Thiruvaheendhrapurm to bless His dear
devotees with dhivya Jn~Anam and He becomes
" Adiyavarkku Meyyan/Natha Sathyan " this way .
As Sathya PraTij~nan , He blesses the devotees with
knowledge about His svaroopa , Roopa , GuNa vaibhavams .
He is "Meyyan/Sathyan for all those who worship Him
longingly and is " Poyyan/Asathyan " for those
who have no sincerity in seeking His refuge .
Swamy Desikan wishes to perform SaraNAgathi at
the sacred feet of the Lord and as a first step in this
anushtAnam performs PurushakAra Prapatthi at the
divine feet of HemAbjavalli ThAyAr in the first paasuram .
Second Paasuram ( ThirumAl adiyavarkku meyyanAr ---):
************************************************************
The thought that the Lord is "Sathyan " to those , who
performed PurushakAra Prapatthi to His Devi is introduced
here. All the six activities of HemAbhjavalli in the line of
Her PurushakAram are reminded here ( SruNOthi/she listens ,
SrAvayathi/ Makes Her Lord listen to the cries of SamsAri ,
SruNAthi/She prepars the samsAri and purifies him for
acceptance by the Lord , SreeyathE/She approaches
Her Lord with Her recommendation , SreeNAthi/She gladdens
the heart of Her Lord through Her VaseekaraNa sakthi nad
display of Her dhivya Soundharyam in that context
and srayathE/she joins with Her Lord to accept the Prapatthi after
completing Her PurushakAra activities) . Such a powerful
and influential Mother with Vaalabhyam ( power to hold
the Lord under Her sway ) stays at he chest region of
Her Lord along with Srivathsam and Kousthubha gem.
Swamy Desikan prays for a place in that sacred chest region
of the Lord for his SrI Sookthi of MummaNikkOvai through
the appeal housed in this Paasuram .
Third Paasuram ( MozhivAr Mozhivana -- -- ):
*********************************************
This verse has been identified with the Bhakthi
anubhavam of Swamy Desikan , when through
His mind assumed the role of a Naayaki (Vankata
Naayaki) to experience the dhivya soundharyam
of Her Lord DhaivanAyakan . The sixth paasuram of
MummaNikkOvai (Aarkkum KaruNai-- -- ) has been
identified with Para Bhakthi and the 9th Paasuram
( VeRppudan onRi-- --) with Parama Bhakthi of
an aasrithan . This is in line with the PramANam ,
" Bhakthi: srungAra VruthyA pariNamathi "
( Bhakthi grows and envelops one through
the experience of love ).
Another point of view relates the first three pAsurams
of MummaNikkOvai this way : The first Paasuram is
about PurushakAram ; the second paasuram is about
Para Jn~Anam and the thirs paasuram deals with
the blossoming of Parama Bhakthi.
Next , we will study the fourth Paasuram , where
Swamy Desikan enjoys the Svaroopa , Roopa ,
GuNa adhisayams of the Lord of Thiru Ayindhai
in great detail (SavisthAram).
