Dear SrEvaishNavites,
Sri Kaliyan's devotion towards bhAgavAthAs emanates as the kaN sOra venkurudhi-thirumozhi. That he places them above his head is understood. That he keeps them always to his heart is observed. However, when it comes to nithya sUri-s they should be matchless, is it not? No says kaliyan. Being there in the sAthvic world without any kArmic effects and distractions is not greater than those who worship the Almighty amidst all the turbulences. In fact it is the other way round. This aspect is dealth with hereunder.

poligindrArE? Bhagavatas though close to emperuman and hence adorned by kaliyan on his head and heart still are part of this world. Won?t they also face a lot of hurdles while in this samsAram? So surely the nithyasooris who are always in the service of the lord, without any obstacles are more eminent. Is it not? Kaliyan
answers,?pOdhodu
punal toovum puNNiyarE viNNavaril poligindrArE? [Those who are blessed to submit
freshly blossomed flowers and water to the divine feet of the lord are greater
than those of the nithya mandalam] But don?t the nithya sooris also submit
flowers to the lord?s divine feet.
The vyakhyana kartha answers, ?angEyirundhu
AshrayikkiravaRgal, engE erundhu Ashrayikkiravargalodu ovvArirE?
[Those who
surrender from there cannot be equated to those who surrender from
here] In the same paasuram,
kaliyan talks about the greatness of chakravarthi thirumagan,
?kAdhodhu
kodimookandrudan aRuththa kaithalaththA? Did Rama piran chop of surpanaka?s
ear and nose? Wasn?t that the act of lakshmana? Kaliyan knows very well that only
lakshmana did it but here he says so having in mind that lakshmana is none other
than rama?s right hand ?rAmasya dakshinO
bhAhu:? Though my
hand types this posting still it is told that only adiyen typed it. Similarly the act of one of the part of
our body is considered to be the act of our self. The same is followed by kaliyan while
saying that ramapiran punished surpanaka. Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE
