Sri:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

[Yesterday May 3rd- Chitthirai Chitthirai is Sri
Madhurakavi AzhwAr Thirunakshathram. Sorry for the
belated post. My PC was also infected.. with latest
LSASS? ]

it is most appropriate to pay our obeisance to his
sishya, Madhurakavi AzhwAr who had tremendous AchArya
bhakti and abhimaanam, on NammAzhwAr. Madhurakavi
composed only 11 verses called
?KaNNinuNchiRutthaambhu? to describe to 
us his AchArya?s greatness and his Bhakthi on his
AchAryA. These very eleven verses are the ones recited
about ~12000 times (many times!) by Sriman Nathamuni
(the Grandfather of YamunAchArya- Alavandhaar) and he
received the upadEsam and blessings straight from Sri
SaTakOpar, who appeared in front of Sri Nathamuni and
gave all pAsurams of All AzhwArs (Not just that of
NammAzhwAr). That is the power and Greatness of these
ELEVEN VERSES of 4000. Only this AzhwAr has sung no
other PerumAL except his AchAryan and his 11 pAsurams
are the link to other pAsurams sung on PerumAL (Moral:
AchAryan is the only link to PerumAL. Just one small
step to AchAryan (11 verses) will facilitate Grand
boons from PerumAL (4000 pAsurams)).

That?s why Sri Nathamuni has composed two dedicatory
verses (thaniyans) on Madhurakavi. One on Sanskrit and
the next one on Tamil.

1.kaNNinuN siRuththaampinaal kattuNNap / paNNiya
perumaayan, 
enNnappanil,
naNNiththenkurugoor nambi enRakkaal, /aNNikkum
amuthooRum en naavukkE. 

Madhurakavi describes that he has kept aside His
father, the Emperumaan KaNNan and has resorted to the
greatest AzhwAr (Sri SaTakOpar) of Then-kurukur. He
mentions that his tongue used by him earlier in the 
enjoyment of materialistic pleasures has become
purified through the utterances of his AcharyA?s name
and sweet nectar  flows now as a result.

2.naavinaal naviRRu inbameythinEn, /mEvinEn avan
ponnadi meymmaiyE,
thEvumaRRaRiyEn kurugoor nambi, / paavin innisai
paadith thirivanE.  

Madhurakavi declares he knows no OTHER LORD other than
his AchAryA, Sri SaTakOpar of Kurugoor. He indicates
that he enjoys Graetest Anandham by 
praising his AchAryan and singing  the sweet pAsurams.
He declares that it is his aim to go and loiter around
singing everywhere his AchAryan?s 
pAsurams.

3.thirithan  thaakilum thEva piraanudai, /kariya
kOlath thiruvuruk 
kaaNpaN naan,
periyavaN kurugoor nagarnambikku aaL /uriyanaay* ,adi
yEn peRRa 
nanmaiyE. 

Here Madhurakavi explains that his reciting the
pAsurams has led him to obtaining "the Greatest beauty
of Emperumaan?s Thirumeni , with MahA 
Lakshmi in his chest. This, he says, is his fortune
that has yielded from his servitude to Sri SaTakOpar.

4.nanmai yaalmikka naanmaRai yaaLar_kaL, /punmai
yaakak karuthuva 
raathalin,
annai yaayaththa Nnaayennai yaaNdidum /thanmai
yaan,sada kOpanen 
nampiyE.  

Madhurakavi declares that Sri SaTakOpar is his mother;
his father; his ruler; his master;  He mentions that
the greatness of Sri SaTakOpar will 
alleviate all his errors /mistakes/paapams and will
save him.

5.nampi NnEnpiRar nanporuL thannaiyum,/ nampi NnEnmada
vaaraiyum 
munnellaam,
sempon maadath thirukkuru koorn^ampik /kanpa Nnaay,adi
yEnsathirth 
thEninRE.  

Here Madhurakavi indicates that his lowly life and
ways of life have all been vanished and he has been
changed by paying obeisance to Sri SaTakOpar. He says
he has become Sri SaTakOpar's affectionate servant.

6.inRu thottu mezhumaiyu mempiraan, /ninRu thanpuka
zhEththa varuLinaan,
kunRa maadath thirukku koorn^ampi, /enRu mennai
yikazhvilan kaaNminE. 

Madhurakavi indicates that Sri SaTakOpar?s mercy and
dayA on him will 
remain for ever and ever. He also states that Sri
SaTakOpar has blessed 
him to sing his pAsurams and pay obeisance to him.

7.kaNdu koNdennaik kaarimaa Rappiraan, /paNdai
valvinai paaRRi 
yaruLinaan,
eNdi saiyu maRiya iyampukEn, /oNda mizhchchada kOpa
NnaruLaiyE. 

Madhurakavi mentions that Sri SaTakOpar has seen him
and has accepted him as his sishya. Immediately, all
his sins have been removed. Hence, he says he will
forever sing Sri SaTakOpar's glories everywhere and in
all eight dhisai (directions) (so that others i.e. we
all- who listen to him will also receive the same
blessings from Sri SaTakOpar) 

8.aruLkoN daadu madiyava rinpuRa, /aruLi Nnaanav
varumaRai yinporuL,
aruLkoN daayira min_thamizh paadinaan, /aruLkaN deeriv
vulakinil 
mikkathE. 

Madhura Kavi says that his AchAryA, in order to let
his bhakthAs be happy and be saved, he sang ~1000
pAsurams to explain the esoteric meanings of VedAs, in
people's language (Tamil).  He did that due to his 
dayA on his bhakthAs (us) and his love for the
Emperumaan.

9.mikka vEthiyar vEthaththi NnutporuL /niRkap paadiyen
nenchuL 
niRuththinaan,
thakka seerchchada kOpanen nampikku,aat /pukka kaatha
ladimaip 
payananRE?  

Madhurakavi declares that Sri SaTakOpar?s such
blessing him with Vedic principles through his
pAsurams has enabled him to retain them in his 
heart. He adds that he is very much indebted to him
for his such Greatest help in uplifting Madhurakavi
and the only way for him (and for us also) to thank
Sri SaTakOpar is to serve him totally for ever. 

10.payanan Raakilum paankala raakilum /seyaln^an
Raakath thiruththip 
paNikoLvaan,
kuyiln^in Raarpozhil soozhkuru koorn^ampi,/muyalkin
REnunRan moykazhaR 
kanbaiyE. 

Madhura Kavi says that his AchAryA, Sri SaTakOpar,
NammAzhwAr corrects and trains us to make us become a
Lord's BhakthA and thereby then become prapannan, (by
correcting us through his writing such Divine Asurams
on par with Vedic meanings). Madhurakai indicates that
he attempts to have Greatest devotion to the holy feet
of Sri SaTakOpar. 

11.anban thannai yadainthavar katkellaam /anban,
then_kuru koorn^akar 
nampikku,
anba Nnaaymathu rakavi sonnasol /nambu vaarpathi,
vaikundham kaaNminE. 

MadhurakaiAzhwAr explains that his AchAryan is
lovingly devoted to everyone, whomsoever he is, if the
person has sought refuge at Emperumaan's Lotus Feet.
He gives his phala sruthi (in 11th verse) that 
the songs by this Madhurakavi, (the sishya and devoted
disciple of Sri SatakOpar) will take the reciter
ultimately at the end of his life  to 
Sri Vaikuntam without fail, POSITIVELY. 

Since we do NOT have time and are very busy to read
Thiruvaaymozhi, we can at least read these 11
pAsurams, to get NammAzhwAr?s blessings and
EmperumAn?s thereby as well. Can?t we?
