SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, After mudhal aazhwArs, next we have begun to enjoy Thirumazhisai AzhwAr?s verses on thiruvEnkatam. Today?s verse is the 43rd verse in Naanmukhan ThiruvanthAthi.. mangulthOy senni vadavENG kadaththaanai kangul pugundhaargaL kaappaNivaan, - thingaL sadaiyERa vaiththaanum thaamaraimE laanum kudaiyERath thaamkuviththuk koNdu. 43 Lotus - born BrahmA, and the Moon Crescent headed Sivan, collect Pearls, umbrellas [kudai] and other precious stones and go to TirumalA to offer to Him at Thirumala, where clouds are all immersed in between the mountains, for performing Thiruvaaraadhanam at this sthalam for Emperumaan's Thiruvandhikkaappu (during Sandhyaakaalam). It is told that only at night the Devas come to Thirumala [after the human beings complete their Ardhana and their obeisance.] Thurvandhikkaapu- is singing pallaandu for the Lord during twilight and at dusk. PeriyAzhwAr also sang Thiruvandhikkaappu [kind of protection] for ThiruvELLaRai perumaan. In PeriyAzhwAr Thirumozhi 2.8, AzhwAr takes on the role of the concerned mother, who wants to protect her precious son from Drushti DhOsham. The Evening (sandhyA kaalam ) was approaching. YasOdhA as the doting mother had already bathed her dear son, decorated his lovely tresses with flowers of different kinds. He looked beautiful. She became worried about any drishti dhOsham affecting the well being of her handsome / beautiful son. She told her son that all the devAs had assembled to enjoy the beauty of their supreme Lord. At the same time, she told Him that the ferocious spirits (Ugra DevathAs ) were also assembled at the junctions of the streets of the village at sunset. She appealed to her son not to venture out there at that hour, when the ugra devathAs were rampantly roaming about to do harm to people. YasOdhA wanted to protect her son against the evil spirits and wished to perform a ritual known as "anthik kAppu". She called on her son to accept the "anthik-kAppu" to ward off the evil effects that may befall Him in the absence of the armour of that protecting ritual. Thus here ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr mentions that Chathurmukha BrahmA, Rudran thus pay their obeisance and perform mangalasasanam for the Lord during ?kangul? night as Thiryvandhikkaapu AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam SrI PadmAvathI SamEtha Sri Srinivasa ParabrahmaNE Namah: Regards Namo Narayana dAsan ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!
