 varuthamum thErndhu magizhndhu

'oruthi maganAi' pAsuram ends with the term 'varuthamum thErndu magizhndhu'. 
The removal of all the sufferings and ultimate happiness. When one's sufferings 
are destroyed completely, enjoyment and happiness automatically follows. Then 
what is the need for AndAL's two exprssions varutham thEral and magizhal. 

The release from cycle of births and the Lord's kainkaryam is indicated here. 
When the cycle of births is removed the soul attains release from the bondage. 
This is also a form of salvation. kaivalyam. The soul enjoys itself. However,is 
it the ultimate enjoyment? No. Even in the process of removal of this 
dhukkam-pains-the happiness is attained is what is expressed here.

The commentaries are incisive in this regard.The commentary runs like this " 
kEvalaraip pOlE Dhuka nivruthi mAthram anRE ivargaLukku prayOjanam; anusanthAna 
kAlathil anubavakAlam pOlE iruppadhu". Even when the Lord's qualities are 
chanted and praised the pain is gone and happiness is attined. PeriyAzhwAr also 
mentions like this in the pAsuram "ninaindhirundhE siramam thErndhEAn" 
periyAzhwAr thiru mozhi 5-4-8.

"varutham thErugaikku sEVagam pAdinArgaL. magihzchi piRakkaikku selvam 
pAdinArgaL" is another explanation in this context. sEVagam is Lord's valour. 
Lord's valour protects us from harm.This is "varutham thErndhu". Lord's selvam 
is 'thiruthakka selvam'. srE sambandham which is the seed for happiness. 
varuthamum-thErndhu magizhndhu.
