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.
 
'mudhalAm Thriuvuruvam mUnRenbar, onREa
mudhalAgum mUnRukkum enbar-mudhalvA
nigar ilagu kAr vuruvA nin agathathAnREA
pugar ilagu ThAmaraiyin pU' -72;
 
Some say that the supreme entity is in three forms-- mudhalAm thiruvuruvam mUnRenbar
 Some Say that there is an entity supreior to these three--onREA mudhalAgum mUnRukkum enbar
 
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 ilagu
 
ThAmaraiyin pU
