namaha ?van chErai emperumAnadiyAr thammai kandEnukkidu kAneer ennenjum kaNNiNaiyum kalikkumARE? The thought of bhagavatas is not sweet to all our hearts but how does that feeling arise in you? Enquired the samsaris. Kaliyan answers,?That is because I have surrendered to that almighty who rushes to the rescue to those in danger (Abat rakshakan)? In the previous paasuram kaliyan talked about emperuman rushes to save prahladam. Now he is reminded of the earlier avatara as varaha moorthi where emperuman took the form of the maha varaha to save piratti from the clutches of hiranyAkshan (elder brother of hiranyakasipu). Varaha moorthi did
upadesa to bhoomi piratti and also gave the varaha charama sloka where he talks
about the bhagavatas. He says,
?stitE manasi ?..aham smarAmi mat bhaktham nayAmi paramAm gathim? The
bhakthas/bhagavatas are ever in the thoughts of emperuman. So whenever I look at them my eyes and
heart experience a special joy, says kaliyan. Bhoomi piratti wanted to preach this
upadesa to one and all and hence she took the avatara as soodikkoduththa
nAchiyar and showed the importance of singing the praise of the lord and
bhagavata seshatvam through her thiruppavai. So in our sampradayam,
just surrendering to the lord?s divine feet is not the last step. One reaches the final step only when he
physically and mentally surrenders to the divine feet of bhagavatas who are ever
in the meditation of the kalyana gunas of the supreme
emperuman. For a person who has
surrendered to the divine feet of emperuman the next motto will be to please the
lord in all ways. How to please
emperuman? Emperuman gets elated only when we please his bhagavatas (emperuman?s
body). So in the next paasuram
kaliyan says I have surrendered to the lord but my love will surrender to the
feet of the bhagavatas. ?seiviriyum taNchErai emperumAn thiruvadiyai sindhiththErken Iyarivum kondAnukku AlAnArkku Alam en anbu thAnE? Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE
