Sri:
Dear Devotees of ThiruppAvai :
In this concluding section , adiyEn would
cover illustrative excerpts from Paasurams
16-30.
Paasuram 16: " NaayakanAi
ninRa--"
NandagOpAlanudaya koil KaappAnE :
NandagOpanin Koil Kaapan ivarhaLukku
purshakAram ( sipArisu) seybavan . Hence , he is equivalent to an
AchAryan.
The Koil KaapAn has a name but
Andal addresses him as "NandagOpanin Koil KaapAn " following Sasstram .
ParamaikAnthis according to sAstram should not be called by the name of their
grAmams or Kulam but have to be addressed with the Prefix of VishNu's name
.
18th Paasuram:
UndhumadhakaLiRRin--
EmperumAn has to be woken
up thru PirAtti , who is the one to intercede ( PurushakAram) with Her Lord
. Hence Andal wakes Her up first ( NappinnAi kadai tiRavAi ) . When SoorppaNakai
considered SeethA PirAtti as an obstacle to gain RaamA's attention , she lost
her nose and ears . For KaakAsuran , whose apachArams were as great as RaavaNan , he
escaped the wrath of the Lord because of PirAtti's
saannidhyam.
19th
Paasuram : Kutthu ViLakkeriya--
Since
one enjoys PerumAl and ThAyAr are to be enjoyed together in Moksha daSai , ANDAL
awakens both the Lord and His divine consort at the same
time.
22nd Paasuram:
anganmAjn~Alattarasar-
"kaNN siricchirithE yengaL
mEl vizhiyAvO": During SuprabhAtham , Lord RanganAtha's first kaDAksham will
fall on the SaThAri ( Swamy NammAzhwAr) at the foot of His
bed.AnadaL asks
Krishna for His first kaDaksham on awakening to fall on them
24th Paasuram:anRu
ivvulaham aLanthAi-
This Paasuram is
considered as the Thiru PallANDu for ThiruppAvai . Like Her revered father ,
Andal wants to protect the Lord against any dhrushti dhOsham and hails long
life for Him free of any KaNN yecchil from dhvEshis.
25th
Paasuram:orutthi mahanAi piRanthu
Our
Lord was born on Sri Jayanthi day , when the star RohiNi is united with ashtami
tithi. Their time of union is considered equal in sanctity to one hundred
EkAdasis united together. PramNams say in this context: " Hari dina satha
tulyAhi Achyuta SrI Jayanthi" .
27th Paasuram: KoodArai
vellum--
EmperumAn wins over those who have ill will towards Him
with His arrows. Of those , who adore Him and seek His company , He wins
them over with His soundharyam .He is the One , who mixes with the cows ,
which do not display dhurabhimAnam and have no upakAra smruthi.Such is His
soulabhyam.
28th Pasuram: KaRavaihaL
Pinn chenRu--
Untannai piRavi perumtanai
puNNiyam yAmm seythOm : when we say that we have performed many dharma kAryams ,
the dharma phalan accumulated would be diminishded. When we insult Brahmins with
our speech , our life will be shortened .The phalan of the taps will be
diminished , if we wonder about its efficacy. In contrast ,the puNNiyam of
Having You , Lord Govindha ,as a member of our Kulam will forever be unaffected
.
Paasuram 29: SiRRam siRu KaalE--
Once
Bhattar asked a sishyan , whether he attended all the thirty days of ThiruppAvai
UpanyAsam . He said that he did not. Battar asked him to attend atleast the
upanyAsam on the SiRRam SiRu kaalE Pasuram . This Paasuram is about ananhArya
SEshatvam (i-e) we are not servants to anyone but Sriman NaarAyaNan and we
should not enjoy any thing other than the Lord.One has to follow the code
of conduct of MahAtmAs described by GeethAchAryan: VaasudEva: Sarvamithi sa
MahAtmA durlabha:
KrishNan asked AndAL as to why She woke Him up so early in the
Morning. She answered : " Oh KrishNa ! if we come after dawn , You
would have gone to the grazing ground with the
cattle.
If we
come in the evening , You will be tired from the efforts of running after the
cattle during the day. If we come during midday , Your dear Mother YasOdhai will
be chasing You to partake the midday meal. If we came a little later, Your
Mother will be preparing for Your Thirumanjanam . After that , she will be ready
to decorate Your hair with fragrant flowers.Then , it will be evening meal time
.At night , You are never home . The only time that we can catch Your attention
is early morning (siRRam siRu Kaalai) . That is why we chose this time. We came
here to remind that You have to accept our Kaimkaryams and to state that we are
Your adimais. We want to declare that we will not serve anyone else ever and
request You to turn away any of our other desires away from kaimkaryam and
direct them to You and You alone .
30. Vangak-kadal
kadaintha--
This is the Phala Sruthi
Paasuram , where Andal showers every one with Bhagavth anubhavam. She points out
that one does not need to observe the nOnbu like She and Her friends did but
just recite the thrity ThiruppAvai pasurams composed in the classic Sanga
Tamizh
( " Sanga Tamizh mAlai
muppathum tappAmE"). She asks us to recite every one of the thirty with devotion
so that the Lord will rush to them as reciters of the ThiruppAvai and embrace
them ardently with all of His four hands .The phalan is the enjoyment of
unalloyed bliss due to the attainment of the grace of the lotus
eyed Lord thru SaraNAgathy to Him .
