ThAmarai
A Symbol of
Creation/Supremacy
AzhwAr-s have liberally correlated
creation to 'ThAmarai'. That the cosmic creation took
place from the divine naval is well known but the lotus in which brahmA was
placed from where the creation continued is the nexus of aravindham and kAraNathvam.
'.vundhi-mAmalar mEmisaip padaithvan, vugandhinidhuRai kOil''
is the line from the verse dedicated to vaN purudOthamam - 4-2-9 of Periya
Thriumozhi.
The Second ten of ThriuvAi mozhi
extensively talks about EmperumAn being the cause of one and all.- kAraNathvam. In the seventh ThiruvAimozhi of the iraNdAm
pathu SwAmi Nam-AzhwAr spells out the twelve divine names of the Lord and the
words 'paRpa nAbhan ' is
also included in this. The fact that this name itself cannotes the
creation and the association with padhmam is indeed a feather in the cap
of lotus.
The sixth thiruvAi mozhi first pAsuram
also clearly states this aspect 'pAmaru mU vulagum
padaitha paRpa nAbhA vO!'
Here comes of course where SwAmi Nam
AzhwAr takes the creation to the logical conclusion and associates the thAmari
to Supremacy.
One of the best pAsuram-s in determining
the Supremacy which has made me again and again wonder the grearness of
parAnkusan.
This is from Periya
ThiruvandhAdhi.

Some say that the supreme entity is in

Some Say that

Here is the overwhelming evidence. Let
them see with their own eyes. Oh! Lord dont they realise that the ThAmarip pU
has sprung from Your naval from which the creation took place? mudhalvA-nigar ilagu kAr vuruvA nin agathathanREa pugar
