kAppAn malai? Thirumalai, the divine hill serves as a worshipping place for the
nithyasooris and also a place that overrides the diseases of the nithya
samsaris. (vENkatamE viNNOr thozhuvadhuvum meimaiyAl) Since the
last line talks about helping the devas ?vAnavarai kAppAn? here ?meimaiyAl
viNNOr thozhuvadhum? refers to the nithya sooris. ?meimaiyAl thozhuvadhu?
indicates that there are two types of worship True worship and false
worship. While the devas fall to
the feet of the lord, though they consider him to be their refuge, still they
prostrate him for some cause, to gain what they have lost (wealth or post). This is false worship (for the purpose
of gaining something). Whereas the
nithyasooris consider thirumalai, his divine abode to be upaya and upEya (means
and goal) and worship him. This is
true wholehearted worship just for the happiness of the lord. In the case of the devas their mind is
not clear (eagerness to attain what they want) and hence it is false worship
whereas the nithyasooris don?t have anything in mind other than the lord and
deep devotion towards him. That is
why azhvar says ?meimaiyAl? (vEnkatamE
meivinnai nOi theerpadhuvum) For the nithyasooris thirumalai is a place of
worship but for the nithyasamsAris who are filled with many hardships thirumalai
serves as a place that overrides all their problems. (meivinnai) those sins that will not
vanish till we suffer. ?avashyamanubhOkdhavyam? declare the sastras
[brahmavaivarththam-prakruthi kaNdam 26-70] jeeva should compulsorily enjoy the
good and bad effects of the sins they have committed. It cannot override the effects at any
point of time. (nOi
theerpadhuvum vENkatamE) All our diseases are cured in thirumalai. Due to this body, whatever sins make us
suffer with various problems and diseases everything is removed due to the
nirheduka krupai of emperuman in thirumalai. The word
vEnkatam itself shows that it overrides all our sins. Swamy nammazhvar says, ?vEmkatangal
meimEl vinai muRRavum?. (vEnkatamE
dhAnavarai veezha?vAnavarai kAppAn malai) Emperuman holds his chakrayudha and
wins over the asuras and blesses the devas with their wealth once
again. (Azhi padai
thottu) Emperuman need not even use his chakra (discus) but it is enough if he
just holds it in his hand. The
asuras face defeat and the devas get back their
kingdom. (To Be Continued) Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer
