SrImathE Gopaladesikamahadesikaya namah:
 
Dearest Srivaishnavas, 
 
Let us continue to enjoy PeyAzhwAr?s wonderful
anubhavams on ThiruvEnkatam. Today?s and concluding
verse on ThiruvEnkatam is the 89th verse. 
 
mudintha pozuthil kuRavaaNar, Enam
padinthuzusaal painthinaikaL vittha, - thadinthezuntha
vEyngazaipOy viNthiRakkum vEngadamE, mElorun^aaL
theenguzalvaay vaitthaan silambu.       89

A wonderful verse again! 
The old gypsy folks residing in ThiruvEnkatam
mountain, who are in their evening of their lives;
being unable to perform their daily routine of
planting seeds, growing them and harvesting etc.. and
hence do not do full justice to their work and try
doing slowly or nothing at all. The boars loitering
there in the forests of ThiruvEnkatam walk, run,
loiter and tear open with their horns, these fields
and even cut these bamboo trees and branches? And then
the cut bamboo branches also start to grow and touch
the skies on top of this ThiruvEnkatam mountain where
the little KaNNan [Kutti KaNNan] who has played so
beautifully the bamboo (flute) in His mouth. 

A little vague it appears? First it says: old folks
are tired and are not bale to grow the seeds. The
boars with their strengths run and go on rampage and
break, cut all the trees and plants.. Next line it
says, in spite of that, though the field is kind of
ploughed, bamboos cut and destroyed by these boars,
the bamboos started to grow on this mountain and touch
the skies. 

What does it imply? 

Poorvars say: 

It is like a jeevan being unable to perform the
ceaseless meditation and dhyAnam i.e. the bhakti yoga
thourgh Karma, jnAna yoga and hence declares his
helplessness [aakinchanyam] and raises his hand to
ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan performing a small [but
grandest] deed of Saranagathi [when it is able]. The
boars (meaning Varaaha who had promised that he would
personally come and take care of those who have
performed Saranagathi and take them to His abode] help
the gypsies and cuts and crushes the karma vaasanaas ;
destroys the same and thereby everything is clean. 

What does it mean to mention- again it started to
grow. This is none other than Utthara kruthyaaa. What
to do after performance of Saranagathi? One should not
just say: I have performed Prapatti [Saranagathi] and
hence I should not do any thing else- no
Sandhuyavandhanam, no kaimkaryam, no nithya karma, no
naimittika karma etc.. All should again grow to the
same extent with a different heights (of Bhagavath
preethyarttham, and for all His pleasure and that
would touch Him (the skies). This is what is implied
here. 

Let us reflect upon the assurance given by Sri Varaaha
Swamin to BhUmi PiraaTTi. [for saving us] 
sthithE manasi ?.. cha maamajam (1)

tathastham ? nayAmi paramAm gathim (2)

Oh Bhumi Devi! The entire universe is my body (sarIram
). I do not have births or deaths. When my bhakthAs
with mahA visvAsam surrender to me, while they are
still in a state of tranquil mind and healthy
body and reflect about Me as as SarvAdharan (root
cause of all), NiyanthA (one who commands from within)
sarva sEshi ( the ultimate ), aasrayaNeeyan (one who
is fit to be worshipped), Sarva VyApthan (all-
pervasive )  and Nithya sannihithan ( One who is
always near ), THEN I think of them at their last
moments, when they are totally unconscious like a log
or  a stone and lead them by archirAdhi maargam to My
parama padham and bless them to have nithya kaimkarya
bhAgyam to Me there .

This is the mountain ThiruvEnkatam where the Kutti
KaNNan who had played flute in His mouth so divinely
resides. PeriyAzhwAr enjoys His playing of flute: 

Siruviral Thadavi parimaRa 
        SenkaN Koda Seyyavai Koppulippa
KuRuvayirppuruvam koodilippa
        Govindan Kuzhal kondu oodhinapodhu
Paravaiyin KanangaL koodu thurandhu
        vandhu soozhndhu padukadu kidappa
Karavaiyin kanaNgaL Kal paRappittu
         KavizhndhiraNgi Seviyattagillave.

When Govindan strokes and distributes through His
small lovely fingers over His flute and plays music,
(how? - SenkaN koda Seyyavai Koppulippa- The Lotus
eyes strain and the Lotus coral lips blow the air- How
great it will be to witness those Beautiful lotus eyes
and the( Kuvindha) Coral lips! - kuravayirppuruvam
Koodilippa - the little sweaty eye brows slightly
narrow down as if they are trying to touch each other
due to the effort he takes for playing the flute)

When such a lovely divine music flows from the
Almighty Himeself,
the Birds leave their nests and approach the Lord to
come near Him (to listen) and lie dead so that no
disturbance is caused even by their wings; and the
Cows and Calves (some of them are half way eating the
grass- some of them had already eaten but didn?t chew;
some just lowered to eat the grass but freezed and all
of them thus stopped in the middle in order not to let
their eating or munching sound disrupt them  to hear
the Divine music- The cows and calves did not, no,
COULD NOT  even shake their ears, it appears.
(Seviyaatagillave!)

That completes PeiyAzhwAr anubhavam of Thiruvenkatam
and let us now move to mazhisai vandha jyOthi in the
next post
