             SrImate Ra'nga RAmAnuja MahA DeSikAya namaH.
         tAtparya ratnAvali - Submission 79 - Slokam 27 Part 2, 
              tiruvAimozhi 2.5 - pASuram 2.5.3 to 2.5.5. 

      pASuram 2.5.3.

ennuL kalandavan Seânkani vAi Seânkamalam 
minnum SuDar malaikkuk kaN pAdam kai kamalam
mannu muzhu Ezh ulagum vayiRRinuLa
tannuL kalavAdadu epporuLumtAn illaiyE.

ennuL kalandavan minnum SuDar malaikku  Seânkani vAi Seânkamalam 
kaN pAdam kai kamalamE;  mannum muzhu Ezh ulagum vayiRRin uLa;  tannuL 
kalavAdadu epporuLum tAn illaiyE â  By the very act of intermingling with me, 
My Lordâs tirumEni (divine form) grew like an effulgent beautiful huge 
mountain;  His beautiful mouth, His lotus eyes, His hands, His feet, all got 
the beauty of the freshly blossomed red lotus flower;  This huge divine form 
that He got because of His great happiness in intermingling with me resulted in 
His accommodating and protecting all the seven worlds in His stomach.  There 
was nothing left behing that did not become part of Him.  

SvAmi DeSikan describes the bhagavad guNam reflected in this pASuram with the 
words âvisphurat tu~Nga mUrtim â minnum SuDar malai - He who grows 
immensely with happiness when He associates with His devotee (visphurat â 
glittering; tu~Nga â high, tall; mUrti â form, body).  

AcArya-s who have written vyAkhyAna-s for this pASuram enjoy âennuL 
kalandavanâ as another nAma for emperumAn, just like His other nAma-s such as 
nArAyaNa, vAsudeva, mukunda, etc.  In other words, the nAma âennuL 
kalandavan, shows that it is part of His nature to redeem the jIva-s by 
mingling with them and drawing them to Him.  Just as the rest of the world 
suffers by being away from Him, He suffers when He is not united with the 
jIva-s who have not attained Him, and feels great happiness when He gets to 
mingle with His devotees, and shines like a glittering mountain when He unites 
with them.

      pASuram 2.5.4:

epporuLum tAnAi maragadak kunRam okkum
appozhudait tAmaraippUk kaN pAdam kai kamalam 
eppozhudum nAL ti~NgaL ANDu UzhiyUzhi toRum
appozhudaikkappozhudu en ArAvamudE.

tAn epporuLumAi maragatak kunRam okkum tAn;   nAL toRum, ti~NgaL toRum, ANDu 
toRum Uzhi toRum Uzhi toRum appozhudukku appozhudu en ArA amudam kaN pAdam 
appozhudait tAmaraipU, kai appozhudaik kamalam â He is the antaryAmI in all 
things;  He is like the beautiful green emarald mountain;  He is the insatiable 
nectar to me every second of my life, every day, month, year, every yuga, and 
always.  His whole divine form â His eyes, His hands, His feet, all look 
beautiful like the freshly blossomed lotus flower.  
        
SvAmi DeSikan describes the primary attribute sung in this pASuram as 
ââprItyunmesha atibhogyamâ (unmesha â ever increasing, bhogyam â 
delight to experience and enjoy) â He who becomes even more delectable when 
He unites with His devotee - eppozhudum nAL ti~NgaL ANDu UzhiyUzhi toRum 
appozhudaikkappozhudu en ArAvamudE.  He is the Insatiable Nectar every instant 
no matter how many eons have passed.  SrI UV gives an alternate pATham, 
describing the guNam as âpratyunmeshAtibhogyamâ, where unmesham means âa 
small amount of timeâ, and pratyunmesham refers to His being enjoyable every 
instant of time â pratikshaNam.

      pASuram 2.5.5.
                
         ArAvamudamAi al-AviyuL kalanda
        kArAr karu mugil pOl en ammAn kaNNanukku
        nErA vAi SempavaLam kaN pAdam kai kamalam
        pErA nIN muDi nAN pinnum izhai palavE.

The dark blue water-laden clouds donât really stand anywhere in comparison to 
the divine dark-blue tirumEni of My Lord KaNNan, nor do the deep red corals 
stand any comparison to His beautiful red lips; so also, the freshly blossomed 
red lotus does not stand any comparison to His beauriful eyes, hand and feet.  
Decorated with big and beautiful necklaces, the huge crown, the waistband, and 
other innumerable ornaments, my Lord is the Insatiable Nectar who still blessed 
me by intermingling with a lowly person like me.

AzhvAr has been singing the beauty of BhagavAnâs beautiful red lips, His 
hands and His feet by comparing them to the freshly blossomed lotus flower in 
previous pASuram-s.   In the current pASuram, he says that they are only poor 
comparisons to the beauty of His lips etc.  - en ammAn kaNNanukku nErA.
 
SvAmi DeSikan describes the guNam revealed in this pASuram as ânava ghana 
surasamâ â He who is like the fresh water-laden cloud ready to shower His 
blessings on all â kArAr karu mugil pOl en ammAn.
