Madhura kavi AzhwAr -Lateral
Entry
It is universally known that sri madhurakavi AzhwAr
always thought of nam AzhwAr and had no other thoughts. He considered that he
had no other Lord other than swAmi nam AzhwAr -"dhEvu maRRaRiyEan" -kaNNinuN
siruthAmbu.
However, he had vision of the Lord to the extent of
describing about the LOrd. He described the LOrd as "kariya kOlath thiruvurui"
black coloured Lord. How is that who does not even consider the Lord as Lord but
only swAmi nam AzhwAr as his LOrd gets the vision?
This is clearfrom the
third pAsuram of kannaiNuN siruthAmbu "thiridhandhAgilum dhEvap
pirAnudai kariyak kOlath thiruvuruk kAnban nAn, periya vaN kurughUr nahar
nambikku AL vuriyanAi, adiyEan peRRa nanmaiyE"
In the earlier pAsuram madhura kavi AzhwArspells
out that he does not have anybody except namAzhwAr as the Lord. Here he mentions
that he has seen the Lord and that is his benefit-nanmai? HOw can he term it as
his benefit when it is somebody other than AzhwAr is the question? It is because
of
a. Unlike the pre-satakopan era, he was not
involved in materialistic tastes and now comprehends the truth and hence does
not reject it and
b. The Lord is desired and liked by madhurakavi's
Lord -nam AzhwAr and whatever is good for his AchAryan is also good for
him.
nam piLLai Edu.
Here swAmi azhagia maNavALap perumAL nAyanAr
vyAkyAnam is excellent.
Gor those who go through AchArya theLord's
paradise -bhagavadh vishayam- will come and surround and fall on them.Even when
we surrender through pirAtti since, she is alongwith Him, we have to await His
nod. Here, due to AchAryan's blessing the LOrd Himself comes and falls on
us.
The text of the vyAkyAnam is reproduced which
highlights this aspect precisely
"AchArya vishayathai paRRi iruppAn
oruvanai bhagavath vishayam thAnE mEale vizhum ennum idathukku vudhAharaNam
idhuviREa. pirAttiyai paRRinAlum avaL avanOdE sErkaiyAlE avan kai pArthirukka
vENum. ingu avanthAnE vandhu thannai ivanukku
kodukkum"
madhura kavi AzhwAr thus attains immense benefit by
approaching his AchAryan-swAmi nam AzhwAr.Lateral entry for both
