SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: 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.
