empirAn endhai


The sixth pAsuram of periya thiru-mozhi:
"empirAn endhai enakku arasu ennudai vAnAL,
ambinAl arakkar verukkoLa nerukki avar vuyir segutha em 
aNNal, vambulAm sOlai mA-madhiL thanjai mAmaNik 
kOilEa vaNaNgi, nambikAL vuyya nAn kaNdu koNdEan 
nArAyaNA ennum nAmam"

swAmi periya vAchAn piLLai:

Two important points are highlighted regarding this pAsuram

i. idhu thanakku (thirumandhrathukku) artham en enna aruLich seigiRAr.

thirumangai mannan commences thiru-mozhi -bang with thiru-mandhiram. Having 
commenced so, he explains the meaning of the thiru-mandhiram in this pAsuram.

What is the need for mentioning the meaning of thiru-mandhiram, when even the 
recital of text will yield the desired results?

...arthAnusanthAnathAlEa pEARu enRu thamakku pakshamAgaiyAlEa arthathaich 
sollugiRAr.

Comprehending the meaning will yield the desired effect is the school of 
thought of sri kaliyan. Hence, he blesses us with the meaning of 
thiru-mandhiram in this pAsuram.

ii. Is there a precedence for this? of course, sri nam-AzhwAr, if he mentions 
thiru-mandhiram will bless the meaning after that or before that.

nam-AzhwArum thiru-mandhiram OridathilEa prashtuthamAnAl-munEyAdhal, 
pinnEayAdhal arthathai sollip pOruvar.
