GodhAm udhArAm
sthuma: ( Let us eulogize the Generous GodhA )
Dear
BhakthAs of GodhA PirAtti :
Today we will continue with the
study of the MukthA Paddhathi
(SlOkams 31 to 40) and
seek the inspiration from Swamy
Desikan's
celebration of
the Mutthu ( Pearls) a la
PaadhukA Sahasram .
Please support the
Mutthangi Kaimkaryam for Our Soodikkoduttha
NaachiyAr
on Her
AvathAra dinam at Srivilliputhur yathA Sakthi .
SlOkam 31( The extrapolated Meaning
)
***************************************** Oh Mutthangi !
you are strewn with pearls , which are
like the Ranga
sTalam (dance Floor ) spread with white flowers
by devotees of
ANDAL ( bhAvOttharai: adhigathA prathyuptha
moukthikamishENa vikeerNa pushpA thvam ) . In ranga bhUmis ,
the dancers
spread the white flowers during PushpAnjali . MutthAngi
for ANDAL is
like a pushpAnjali by Her bhakthAs except that
the flowers in
this case are white pearls .
SlOkam 32 ( The
extrapolated Meaning )
****************************************
Oh Mutthangi !
ChandrasEkharan ( Lord Sivan with the crescent Moon
on His JaDai)
is standing with bowed head before You and Your divine consort at
SrivilliputthUr
waiting for Your Lord's SaThAri to be placed on His head .
At that time ,
the rays from your pearls of Mutthangi fall on
ChandrasEkaran's
head
and join the cresent Moon to look like the stars ( SambhO: chUDA
tushArakiraNam
Tava moukthika Ogai: prathipanna tAram aapadhayanthi )
.
SlOkam 33 : The
Extrapolated Meaning
******************************************************
ANDAL
has sanchAram around the PushkaraNi at
SrivilliputthUr
during
the NeerAtta Uthsavam . She is wearing Her Mutthangi before
neerAttam . GodhE ! You are always looking out to please Your divine
consort ,
RangamannAr ( Viharatha: PadhmApathE : priyam
aacharanthee Thvam ) .
Before
Your Lord arrives there for a sanchAram of HIs own , You seem
to
plant the assembly of the white rays from the pearls of Your
Mutthnagi
as
seeds for the growth of lotus flowers in that PushkaraNi ( Thvam puratha:
vikeerNai: mukthA mayUkha nivahai: mandira dheergikAsu
padmineenAm
kandhAni vinikshipasi manyE ) . KodiyOdu koodina
thAmarai kizhangukaLai
ANDAL
nattu vaiikirAL .
SlOkam 34: The
extrapolated Meaning
**************************************
The Moon wanes during
KrsihNa paksham . The Moon
is a
brother (Sahajan) of Andal , the amsam of MahA Lakshmi
,
who arose from the Sea
(Vaardihi sudhA) like Chandran .
She is concerned
about
the waning of Her brother . She
wishes that Her
sahOdharan to have perfection and
blemishless growth (
anga vruddhi) . Andal sends the assembly
of rays form Her
Mutthangi to Her Lord's Thiruvadi to seek
the anugraham
of Her Lord ( Sahajasya angAm vruddhim
aasAsya , Mukundha padhayO: ThvAm moukthika pankthi
lakshyAth
praseedhayathi ) and
helps Her brother in trouble .
SlOkam 35 :
The extrapolated Meaning
****************************************
Oh AndaL ! Those Fortunate few ( yE nAma kEapi
kruthina: ) lower their heads
with bhakthi for You ( vinaya avanamrai:
utthamAngai: ) and seek Your
anugraham .
They are blessed by You through the rays of
the pearls from Your Mutthangi falling on
them .
Their prayers are
to have the blemishlessness of the pearls adorning Your
Mutthangi
Those prayers are are answered by You ( moukthika
Ogha niyathAm visuddhim icchanthi) .
They recieve that boon from You
in this world itself ( tE iha Thvath moukthika Oga
niyathAm
visuddhim
avApnOthi).
SlOkam 36
: The Extrapolated Meaning
**********************************
Oh GodhE !
Your Divine consort has the line ( rEkhA )
that has the
shape of the conch on His inner sole of
His Thiruvadi
. SaasthrAs say that the pearls are
formed from
that conch on Your Lord's
Thiruvadi . " MukthAphalai:Rangabharthu: padhasarasija
rEkha Paanchajanya
prasoothim prajAnAm prakaDayasi"
Andal
publicizes thus the place of origin of the pearls
used in the
Mutthnagi that she is adorning .
SlOkam 37 :
The Extrapolated Meaning
**************************************
During the
ThrivikramAvathAra kaalam , GangA arose
out of the
Lord's Thiruvadi , when Brahma dEvan washed
them with
water from his KamaNDalu ( Bali-vimaTana
vElA
vyApina: Tasya
VishNO: padha sarasija maadhvi Jaahnavee
Janana samayam
) .The waters of GangA achieved
perhaps
their Visuddhi (
blemishlessness)from the nakha kaanthi of
the Lord captured and held
by Your pearls of the Mutthangi
( Jaahnavee janana sanmaya lagnAm
ThAvakAnAm moukthikAnAm
VAASANAAM vahathy ).
SlOkam 38 : The
Extrapolated Meaning
*********************************************
Oh Mutthnagi ! Many pearls are enmeshed on You
.
Their lustre is lik a flood of torrential white
water
of a river . That flood glisten like an array of stars
.
Why would those stars come to earth in the form
of
a Muthtangi instead of staying up in their
natural
habitat ,the sky ? It is because they have a
mission
(i-e) to remove the ancient enimity between
Chandran
and the lotus flowers . They seem to be praying to
You
to remove that enimity experienced by Your
sahOdharan,
Chandran ( IndhO: vairam Samayithum
taarA: iva prachura
kiraNapoorA: mukthA: ThvAm sevamAnA:)
.
SlOkam 39: The Extrapolated
Meaning
***********************************
Oh Mutthangi !
Many splendid pearls are enmeshed
on You .
They remove the intense sufferings of
the SamsAris ,
when they have Your darsanam .
They generate
nectar-like flow to quench the Taapams
of the
SamsAris . The pearls on the Mutthangi are
AzhwAr's
Paasurams . For those who are fortunate to
recite them
and reflect on their meanings , all
the samsAric
sufferings are driven away ( Svai:
moukthikai:
prANinAm mukulitha paritApaam , amrutha
duhanAmiva
ThvAm aadhriyE ) .
SlOkam 40: The
Extrapolated Meaning
************************************
Oh
Pearls of ANDAL's Mutthangi ! You chase away all
kinds
of fears
that those who prostrate before You even once
(
sakruthapi vinathAnAm thrAsam unmoolayantheem
MoukthikAni) . This is because of Your proximity to
the DEvi of
the Lord
(ANDAL) , whom You are associated
with .She is celebrated
by all
the three worlds for Her KaaruNyam , oudhAryam and Vaathsalyam
( Thribhuvana mahaneeyAm GodhAm upAsrithavathy )
.
