SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest all, After having tasted and enjoyed the Lord Sri Ranganathan, AzhwAr feels bad for having wasted all these years. (more apt for us than for azhwaars). AzhwAr is the mood of repentance. kAviyai venRa kaNNAr kalaviyE karuthi, nALum pAviyE NnAka veNNi athanuLLE pazhuththo zhin^thEn, thoovisEr annam mannum soozhpunal kutan^thai yAnai, pAviyen pAvi yAthu pAviyE NnAyi NnEnE! 14 paaviyEn- I, the one who had committed so many paapams earlier kaaviyai venRa kaNNaar- women folk who have the eyes that conquer even the dark ?kuvaLai? flower kalaviyE karudhi- thinking of uniting [with those women only] naaLumaaga yeNNi- everyday as if that was the only goal that needs to be attained in life; adhanuL pazhutthu ozhindhEn- thus, I became aged as well; (wasted all those years) paaviyEn- due to such useless deeds, I have become further more paapi (Sinner) thoovisEr annam mannum- The place where the tender feathered swans join soozh punal kudanthaiyaanai ? river cauvery surrounded Thirukkudanthai Lord (is so mercifully here) paaviyaadhu- without thinking and contemplation of Him (those days) paaviyEn aayinEn ? I had become mahaa paapi.. paaviyEnaaga yeNNi- I thought myself of mahaa paapi (is also interpreted herein); Without my knowledge I had become Mahaa paapi. Due to my earlier paapams that I had committed, I was thinking of only those women folks and hence became greater paapi. In this verse, Thus AzhwAr thinks of the Lord of Thirukkudanthai and laments over the days of yore lost in chasing worldly pleasures instead of spending his time reflecting on the supreme principle resting on the bed of Adisesha on the banks of holy river Cauveri. He experiences the mood of nirvedam here. (In similar lines, Thondaradippodi AzhwAr says: paaviyEn unnai allaal paaviyEn paaviyEnE.. in Thirumaalai 35th verse) AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE saraNam Regards Namo narayana narayanadAsan madhavakkannan ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
