SrI:
Dear BhakthAs of ThiruviNNagarappan :
In the previous Paasuram , Thirumangai declared that he has left
behind those relatives with Raagha-dhvEshams to join the company of
other relatives , who were free from the above blemishes so that his
Saadhana /Upaasanai to gain Moksha Sukham can thrive and prosper .
Thirumangai confessed to the Lord that he is enjoying a superior
state of Daasyam of the Lord and as a result , he is holding on to
the Lord's roopam and chinthanai (dhyAnam) securely in his mind .
ThiruviNNagarappan smiled and asked His dear Bhakthan another
question : Namm KaliyA ! It is good to know about all the steps that
you have taken so far . We are very pleased . I still have a doubt .
Even if you part with the company of your undesirable relatives ,
what have you done with siRRinbham ( nonlasting pleasures of
the world and their templations ) ? Wont they cause You to gain
unwanted new relatives and friends again and hold you back ?
Kaliyan answers the Lord's additional question this way :
MaanEy nOkku nallAr mathi pOl muhatthu ulavum
OonEy kaNN vaaLikku udainthu Ottanthu UnnadainthEn
KOnE ! KurumkudiyuL KuzhahA ! ThirunaRayUrt-
thEnE ! Varupunal soozh ThiruviNNagarAnE ! - - -Periya Thirumozhi :6.3.3
(Meaning) : Oh my Sarva SwAmi ( KOnE ) ! Oh my Lord , who is associated with
Thirukkurumkudi dhivya dEsam ( KuRumkudiyuL KuzhahanE ) ! Oh the honey
( ambrosia) present as SrinivAsan at NaacchiyAr Koil ( Thiru NaRayUrt-
thEnE) ! ThiruviNNagarAnE ! Being afraid of the arrows originating from
the fleshy and shining eyes found in the moon-like beautiful faces of
the noble ladies, adiyEn has run to the safety of Your lotus feet .
Fearing those dart like eyes resembling in beauty , the doe's eyes,
adiyEn has bolted to Your side to eliminate any future entaglements
with siRRinbham and thereby create newer lines of bandhus and
friends , who may not be beneficial for gaining asanchala bhakthi .
Special Notes :
*****************
The eyes of the young ladies are similar to those of the female deer .
These eyes are captivating as they shine out of their full Moon-like ,
beautiful faces . The physical beauty of the young ladies is also
arresting .
Many of these ladies also have superior aathma guNams . When the glances
from their youthful eyes hit a male , they have the effect of a powerful
arrow that shatters the mind of the male and makes their minds
useless for anything else .
ThiruviNNagrappa ! adiyEn started this Paasuram with the beginning ,
" MaanEy nOkku " . That reminded me of AzhwAr's MangaLAsAsanam of
MahA Lakshmi on the chest of VaishNava Nampi at Thirukkudungudi
" MaanEy nOkku madvALai Maarbil koNDAi MaadhavA " . Oh ThiruviNNagarappa!
My mind got pulled to Thirukkurungudi from where adiyEn is going to reach
Your Parama Padham ( ViNNagar ) as this charama dEham falls down .
As a result of this memory of things to come , the salutations to
Kurungudi Nampi joined in Your paasuram as " KuRunkudiyuL KuzhahA " .
At ThirukkuRungudi , the name of the VimAnam is Pancha kEthakam
or the five banners fluttering vimAnam representing the Five Moorthys at
ThirukkuRungudi : VaishNava Nambi , NinRa Nambi . ThiruppARkkadal
Nambi, Malai mEl Nambi and Iruntha Nambi . At ThiruviNNagaram ,
My Lord , You manifest also in Five forms : Ponnappan , Mutthappan ,
MaNiappaan , Yennappan and ThiruviNNagarappan . Here too
You are demonstrating the waving of the five banners ( Pancha Kethakam )
to remind us of the five forms of Yours . Thus , it is natural that adiyEn's
thoughts run off to Thirukkurungudi as I stand before You and have Your
roopa dhyAnam .
In this Paasuram , the MangaLAsAsanam for ThirunaRayUr Nambi
standing under SrinivAsa VimAnam got included . You may ask ,
KaliyA ! Why this distraction ? adiyEn has to mention that Nampikkai
NaacchiyAr ( VanjuLavalli ) SamEtha ThirunaRayUr SrinivAsan (Nampi)
is looking over my shoulders and pressing adiyEn to arrive at His
dhivya dEsam . As you know , adiyEn is leaving next to recieve
Sankha-Chakra Mudhrai from NaRayUr Nambi . Although adiyEn had
samaasrayaNam earlier and had recieved Sankha-chakra Mudhrais before
to initiate me as a VaishNavan and have recieved ManthrOpadEsam
on Moola Manthram directly from You , adiyEn is going to recieve once
again Sankha-Chakra Mudhrais from Nambi at ThirunaRayUr . Your
SaasthrAs say that one can have the Sankha-Chakra mudhrais
imprinted on one's shoulders more than once . NaRayUr Nambi is
determined to perform this SamskAram and this thought is like
tasting honey . Therefore adiyEn is addressing NaRayUr Nambi
in Your MangaLAsAsana PaasuraM as "Thiru NaRayUr thEnE " .
The flood of nectar flowing in the VirajA river to the south of
Your temple reminded adiyEn of the flood of aaanandha anubhavam
like the tasting of the honey ("thEn " ) and Your dhivya dEsam
appeared to me as "Varu Punal Soozh ThiruviNNagar ". May
that flood of blissful anubhavam of Yours immerse me in its
sweetness at Your dhivya dEsam !
