Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha

 

Paasuram-80

 

"Viraindhadaimin mElorunAl veLLam parakka

  Karandhulagam kAththaLiththa kaNNan-parandhulagam

  pAdina AdinakEttu padunaragam

  veedina vAsar kadhavu"

 

Leave alone the divine intellectuals aspiring to reach the divine abode of emperuman.   What shall we, the people strongly held by the rigid bondage of samsara do?

Thirumazhisaipiran answers,"Oh! The only way for you to get out of this ocean of samsara is to hold on to that supreme lord, Sri Krishnan, who saved this world even during the imperative times of pralaya (total destruction).

 

(Viraindhadaimin) Go reach him immediately.   The need of the hour is so great that you should be in a hurry.

 

Reach whom?

 

Reach the one who saves everyone in acute danger.

 

mEl-(mElorunAl) You are worried about being immersed in the ocean of samsara but there was one day when the whole world was surrounded by the waters of pralaya;

 

(vulagam karandhu kAththu) He placed the whole world inside his stomach and guarded them from getting lost in the floods.

 

(aliththa kaNNan) The one who thus saved and gave back this world is none other than KaNNan.

 

But how will we reach him when our mind is filled with the fear of naraka awaiting us due to the result of our accumulated bags of sins.

 

(parandhu Adina vulagam pAdina kEttu) Hearing and enjoying the enchanting names sung and danced merrily by srivaishnavas spread everywhere.   'vulagam enbhadhu vuyarindhOr mAttE' i.e., 'vulagam refers to the great bhagavatas regarded as vinnulArilum seeriyarE'

"kidandhum erundhum ezhundhum geetham palapala pAdi nadandhum paRandhum kuniththum nAdagam seikindravE" (thiruvai 5-2-4)

 

"nandRisai pAdiyum tuLLiyumAdiyum jnAlam parandhAr" (thiruvai 5-2-6) articulates nammazhvar.

 

(kEttu padunaragam) Just on hearing the enthralling names of the divine lord even the world of naraka will become svarga;

"namanum mutkalanum pEsa naragil nindRargal kEtka naragamE svargamAgum nAmangaludaiya nambee" (thirumaalai)

 

(naragam veedina vAsar kadhavu) The doors of naraka were ruined.   So why worry about the same.

 

kaNNan vulagam parandhu pAdina Adina kEttu padu naragam veedina vAsar kadhavu – says thirumazhisai piran.

Nammazhvar restates the same as "kadal vaNNan bhoodhangal maNmEl maliyap pugundhu esaipAdi Adi vuzhitarakkandOm-naliyum naragamum naindha"

 

This paasuram can also be considered to be a caution from azhvar to the yamadhoodhas.

(veedina vAsar kadhavu viraindhu adaimin) Oh! Yama dhoodhas rush to close the doors of naraka.   All those inside have been blessed to hear the thirunamasankeerthanam and have bursted outside.

"eniyAr puguvAr ezhu naraga vAsal muniyAdhu mooriththAl kOmin" [Mudal thiruv-87]

 

 (To Be Continued)

 

Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE sharaNam

 

Adiyen ramanuja dAsee

Sumithra Varadarajan

 

Is it not apt to enjoy the greatness of the thirunamasankeerthanam of KaNNan on this srijayayanthi day along with the vyakhyanam of Sri Krishna soori , Sri periyavachan pillai (also born on a avani rohini day).   Moreover this paasuram finds its reflection in the thiruvaimozhi paasuram of swamy nammazhvar adorned as KrishnatrishnA tattvam.
