Periya Thirumozhi a
mixture of...
Having visited the first ten, cursorily
and briefly, what can our conclusions be?
In the first thiru-mozhi it was seen that
AzhwAr not only realises the thiru-mahdiram but alos expresses its meaning and
the efficacy of that. The extended meaning of this is later expressed in the
second ten and eighth where the devotion to srEvaishNavites is the ultimate
essence of thirumandhiram.
The ancient tamil usage is adeptly
practised by AzhwAr in the third thiru-mozhi.
The narration of natural events in an
abosrbing way is elegantly done in thiruppiridhip pAsuram- innocent beetles and
the python paradox.
AzhwAr surrenders at the feet of the
Lord-regretting his earlier deeds, in the sannidhi and purushakAram of pirAtti
at naimisAraNyam.-vandhun thiruvadi adaindhEan.
AzhwAr again surrenders at the divine feet
of Lord thiru-vEnkatamudaiyan, in the sannidhi of
periya-pirAtti-purushakAram.
'engaL mAdhavanEa"
Shall we then safely conclude that peirya
thirumozhi is a mixture of srEVaishNavism to the core, chaste tamil language,
narration of nature at its pinnacle and what not?- veering and full of bhagavath
vishayam isnt it.
Immnese affection towards the Lord and
that is why it is said:
'kAdhalEa migutha
kaliyan vAi oligaL mAlai"
