Sri:
SrimathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:
Dearest all,

In the upper world (Golden world), You are the very
Gold of Golden world and shine the brightest. In order
to save and protect the Universe, You have entered
into and manifested in the Prakrithi maNdalam, in all
directions and in all times. Those who missed to enjoy
seeing You in Vibhava avathAram, You are showing
Yourself so beautifully and gracefully in Divya Desams
for our sake. Thus, the places like ThirumoozhikkaLam
have become Divya Desams. What a kaaruNyam! What an
affection and love on us!- says AzhwAr in this verse. 


Further more divya desams are in this verse.  

ponnaanaay! pozhilEzum kaaval pooNda
 pugazhaanaay! igazhvaaya thoNda NnEnn^aan,
'ennaanaay? ennaanaay?' ennal allaal
 ennaRiva NnEzhaiyEn, ulaga mEtthum
thennaanaay vadavaanaay kudapaa laanaay
 guNapaala thaayinaay imaiyOrk kenRum
munnaanaay pinnaanaar vaNangum sOthi!
 thirumoozhik kaLatthaanaay mudhalaa NnaayE!    10

mudhal aanaay ? You are (have become) Primordial
Chief! 
Pon aanaay ? One who shines in the Golden upper world
(as the Lord of all!)
Pozhil yEzhum- all worlds 
Kaaval pooNda ? by view of protecting and saving
Pugazh aanaay- You are the Keertthi vaasan; 
en aanaay ? what and how many forms you have become! 
en aanaay ? You are the Male elephant (to me)
ennal allaal ? except for wondering like that and
addressing as above
igazhvu aaya ? with the personification such lowliness
(of me); 
thoNdanaen ? (still) the servant of yours 
naan ? (this egoistic) me 
yEzhaiyEn ? having the desire to know, enjoy seeing
You 
en aRivan ? what and how would I ever get to know You?
? You are unbounded and limitless One, aren?t You?
then aanaaay ? You are there in the entire South (of
India) in Divya Desams
vada aanaay ? same goes in the North 
kudapaal aanaay ? west as well; 
guNa paal madhayaanaay ? In the east you have become
the male elephant (in Divya Desams)
imaiyOrkku yenRum ? For the Devas and Nithyasuris
-forever
mun aanaay ? You are there in their presence for their
sake always
pin aanaar ? For those who did not enjoy Your vibhava
avathArams (and missed Your vibhava avathArams) 
vaNangum ? worship 
jOthi ? the lustrous One as archA moorthi
thirumoozhikkaLatthu aanaay ? You have appeared and
shown Yourself in ThirumoozhikkaLam divya desam; 


guNapaal madha yaanaay- Male elephant in the east. In
fact all words in all directions are ?aanaay? and
hence elephant can be referred to all directions (not
necessarily east alone). Even the bhAgawathas are
considered as elephants. In Daya sathakam, it can be
seen in DrshtEbhi dhurbaladhiyam verse in Daya
sathakam. The Lord is described as elephant in may
places. Raman is enjoyed by Dasaratha as the One who
walks like the elephant. Gaja simha gathi- says Sage
Valmiki. 

One should perform ThiruvArAdhanam considering the
Lord as the very elephant and do with respect and
fear. DhandhakaLiRu and madhakkaLiRu are referred to
KaNNan. The elephant is huge; massive. Grateful. Never
ever forgets whatever is done. It elevates one above
by lifting. It lowers itself for others to reach the
same. The same is equally applicable to the Lord
Sriman Narayanan as well. 

ennaanaay ? why repeated two times in the verse? Due
to languishing with the pangs of serapartion, AzhwAr
says- why? Why? 

Swami Periya Vacchan PiLlai blessed in his commentary
thus:
1. The elephants ? once we see them, we don?t want to
get saturated with our enjoyment; we would like
continue watching the elephant at all times; every day
and all places. They are so lovely, huge and grand. 
2. It walks proudly and majestically 
3. When it thinks of taking someone, it hugs them with
its trunk and take them up. 
4. it lowers itself for others to climb 
5. when it sees trouble makers, it angers on them
severely 
6. it gives the rope to the mahout for him to tie the
same. 

All these guNAs are equally applicable to the Lord ?
says Sri Periya vacchan Pillai Swami. 

Similarly the gold can be compared to the Lord. (pon
aanaay)
1. those who have gold in their homes, would take care
of the same as if it is their very life itself. So
precious 
2. They would never ever like to part with the gold
3. Veda says, when one wears gold, the enemies would
be dhurvarNam (destroyed?) 
4. Those losing gold would long for the same and cry
for getting it back
5. It is the most precious 
6. It is invaluable and never diminishes 
7. Great to enjoy seeing gold and golden ornaments
8. When united with gemstones, more shining and
beautiful 
9. Pure on its own 

What a great commentary by Swami Sri Periya Vacchan
Pillai! Enjoyment of Purchacharyas are always to be
enjoyed by learning at the feet of acharyas! By
reciting their taniyans, and paying our praNamams, let
us read these commentaries and acharyan would bless us
with more jnAnam and anubhavam with more kainkarya
sri.
