Dearest Srivaishnavas,

After Thirumazhisai AzhwAr Naanmukhan ThirvanthAthi on
ThiruvEnkatam, we will begin to enjoy Thirumazhisai
AzhwAr?s verses [on Thirucchanda viruttham]. Second
verse is the 60th verse on ThiruvEnkatam.  

AzhwAr now enjoys and praises His reclining
Thirukkudnathai beauty along with ThiruvEnkatam. 

sezhunkozhumpe rumpanipo zhinthida,u yarnthavEy
vizhunthularnthe zhunthuviNpu daikkumvEnka
daththuLn^inRu
ezhunthirunthu thEnporunthu poompozhiltha zhaikkozhuNY
sezhunthadanku danthaiyuLki danthamaalu mallaiyE? (60)

Well grown stout tall bamboo trees due to the snow and
fog settling on top of it, bends down at night (due to
the weight) and when the sun rises the snow melts and
the bamboo raises to its height again fully touching
the skies of ThiruvEnkatam- where He stands
majestically. He is the one at Thirukkudanthai in
reclining position where bees completely cover the
beautiful flowers drinking honey from there residing
therein; where fertile dense gardens and large cool
ponds are enjoyed in great numbers.

The Lord of ThiruvEmkatam- blessing devas and humans
there is the same Kovalan (king) one reclining at
Thirukkudanthai. The bamboos due to the anugraham of
Thiruvenkatamudaiyaan and the earth?s strength, grow
very tall on top of the mountain almost touching the
skies as if they are inviting the Devas to
ThiruvEmkatam. They bow down due to the snow weight at
night- as if they are performing their saashtAnga
praNAmams at the lotus feet of the Lord indicating to
the whole world, ?You also do that?.

The snow engulfing the bamboo- makes the bamboo bend;
and when the sun shines, it comes back to its
strength- it implies tat even the plants and trees
languish if the Lord?s kataaksham is not there; and
rejoices and grows with strength when His glances are
there. 

Vruksha iva sthabDhO dhivi thishtathyEka: - He makes
others bow down at His feet; and once done, he
elevates them up? and raises them? He is LakshmI
ramaNan.

Bees are referred to mean NithyasUris coming down at
ThiruvEmkatam to drink the honey of
thiruvEmkatamudaiyaan and jump from divya desam to
divya desam..

Sezhunkozhum perumpani- the huge amount of snow has
adjectives ?sezhum? and kozhum?. Sezhum- snowing for
longer duration; kozhum- snowing in larger quantities;

Perum pani- the snow that completely covers the
bamboos and make them bow down due to weight on top of
them.

Yezhundhirundhu and kidantha- getting up and reclining
both words are used in this verse- which takes us to
the next verse- kidanthavaaRu yezhundhirundhu pEsu
Aaazhi kEsanE.. devotees may be reminded of Azhwar?s
life incident here.
