SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

Let us continue to enjoy Poigai AzhwAr
aruLiccheyalgaL? 
His Mudhal ThiruvanthAthi 38th verse is the next one:

Urum variyaravam oNkuRavar maalyaanai,
pEra eRintha perumaNiyai, - kaarudaiya
minnenRu puRRadaiyum vEngadamE, mElasurar
ennenRa maala thidam.                                 
 38

a poetic imagination! A brilliant verse! AzhwAr says:
just like Thirumalai Srinivasan, the snake, the
gypsies, elephants, etc.. are also enjoyed by AzhwAr
here. They too are equally glorious. 

By living in this greatest of Divya Desams, namely
Thirumalai, the gypsies are so blessed. They see
elephant walking through their fields and their gaits
would destroy the fields and hence they attempt to
chase away those elephants.. In order to chase them
away, they throw at the elephant, a big valuable gem
stone which is available aplenty in this divya desam
[due to Sri PadmavathI samEtha Sri Srinivasan?s
kataaksham]. 

The blessed snake whose body has got lot of beautiful
stripes on its body- also living in this divya desam,
hisses and crawls on the mountain. When it sees a huge
lustrous gem stone being thrown in the sky [while
those gypsies threw a the elephant], the snake gets
scared that it is the lightning that has struck and
rushes to enter into its home of small hole. 

Even the grandest Nithyasooris proudly and joyously
proclaim this divya Desam that it is Their Lord Sriya:
Pathi Sriman Narayanan?s residence. Em ennum maaladdu
idam.. 

A wonderful poetic imagination! 

Like KulasekarAzhwAr mentioned in his PerumAL
Thirumozhi, emperumAn malaiyil yEthEnum aavEnE.. Let
me become anything on this mountain of my Lord.. It is
a blessed birth even to be born a snake, an elephant
or the gypsy in this divya desam and live in here.
AzhwAr enjoys a scenic beauty and also touches upon
the wealth abundantly available here. AzhwAr also is
overwhelmed by the vairAgya of the gypsies not to mind
throwing even the most valuable gem stone; they
possess no ahankaara mamakaaram and always associate
themselves with the Lord as His sEsha bhoothan. 

One can greatly be moved by Kulasekara?s pAsurams
[which we will enjoy later] wherein he longs for being
born as a step in Tirupathi Lord's
temple or a fish in the Holy pushkaraNi or a seNbhaga
tree in
Tirupathi(standing in front of the temple) or a Big
stone which can not be removed so easily; He even
wished to be born as a servant holding the Golden Bowl
in front of Sriman nArAyaNan to spit the water after
washing, gargling and cleaning His mouth in the
morning. Such was his desire to serve the Lord
ceaselessly and that too from a king!.( One can
imagine our plight with so little(or no) material
possessions and for that we walk with so much pride
with even a very little achievement(which too is
possible only with His grace)).  

A sample pAsuram to taste the sweetness and longing
desire of KulasEkarAzhwAr before we conclude this
post.

AznAtha selvatthu arambaiyargaL thaRsoozha/
vAnALum selvamum; maNNarasum yAn vENdEn/
thEnAr poonchOlai thiruvEngadatthu chunaiyil/
meenAi piRakkum vidhiyudaiyOnAvEnE/

what a wonderful verse. He says" I do not want to be a
king even if it is to rule this earth and the "vAn
lOkam" where there is great wealth, and where there
are beautiful damsels dancing around; I do not wish
even that; All that I want is to be born as a fish in
the pond (PushkaraNi) in Thirupathi.
