Dear BhakthAs of OppilA Appan
:
In the third Paasuram ,
Thirumangai Mannan salutes ThiruviNNagarappan
as the empowering force
behind the Thripura SamhAra Moorthy (Rudran) :
Kuzhal niRavaNNa ! ninn kooRu
koNDa , tazhal niRa vaNNan naNNAr nakaram
vizha nani malai silai
vaLaivu seythangu azhal niRa ampathu aanavanE
AaNDay unnai kANpathOr aruL

vENDEn manai Vaazhkkayai
ViNNagar mEyavanE ---- Periya Thirumozhi 6.1.3
Oh Lord of black hue
comparable to that of Your beautiful Bluish-Black tresses !
At one time , Lord Rudran
with the reddish hue of Agni , who has been blessed to be
a part of Your sacred body
(valatthinan) was approached by the DevAs as a fit person
to
destroy the asurAs , who had
taken the form of three cities and were menacing
the DevAs and their world .
Rudran asked the DevAs to transfer him their sakthis
to enable him to destroy
the three asurAs . DevAs complied and transferred
their collective powers to
Rudran to destroy their enemies . Rudran came to be known
thereafter as MahA DEvan and
succeded in bending the gigantic Meru mountain
as his bow for the fight with
the asurAs . Rudran made the Agni , his own hue
into the arrow for that bow .
He could not do anymore in the discharge of
that arrow. Oh
ThiruviNNagarappA ! You entered into that arrow and empowered
it to destroy the three
cities (asurAs) so that MahA Devan can claim the fame as
"Thripura SamhAra Moorthy " .
You are the most generous One , when it comes to
granting the boons
to those who pray to You for help .
Oh Lord of ThiruviNNagaram of
such Vaibhavam ! My Lord and Sarva Swami !
If You grant me the rare boon
of Your darsana SoubhAgyam to this suffering sinner
,
adiyEn will instantly cast
aside this life in prakruthi MaNDalam and reject all
these perishable sukhams in
favor of the nithyAnandham of kaimkaryam to You .

Oh My Lord ! You rested on the top of
a small leaf of a pupil tree amidst the swift moving waters of
deluge (avAnthara PraLayam ) billowing with the
mighty waves . You gave Sage
MarkaNDEyar ,
Your future Father-in-Law , Your
darsana SoubhAgyam as VaDapathra Saayee . At that time ,
You had the Moon , the Sun and the worlds
revealed by them and the aathmAs that enjoy
those worlds in a
small portion of Your stomach
and protected them all against the dangers of
the swirling waters of PraLayam . As
VaDapathra Saayee, our Lord is " ThrijagathAm
UdharAsrayaNan " ( One who retains all the
worlds in His stomach for their protection ).
Thirumangai relates to this Vadapathra
Saayee as Sarva-Rakshakan and the only medicine
for the disease known a s SamsAric
sufferings ( bhava baya yEka bhEshajam ) .
LeelA Sukhar captures the dhivya
Soundharyam of the Aaalilai thuyil vaLarum
Infant this way in Sri KrishNa KarNAmrutham
(2.57) :
karAravindhEna padhAravindham mukhAravindhE
vinivEsayantham
vaDasya pathrasya puDE sayAnam Baalam
Mukundham manasA smarAmi
Thirumangai confesses that the soubhAgyam
of the darsanam of that Lord
of ThiruviNNagaram in person
(SaakshAthkAram ) , it will cause him to reject
this world instantly in favor of nithya
Kaimkaryam to that adorable Lord .

In the earlier Paasuram ,
Thirumangai referred to avaanthara PraLayam ,
when the Lord keeps the Sun ,
the Moon , the worlds and the Jeevans inside a small
portion of His stomach to
protect them . In this paasuram , Thirumangai relates to
the happenings in MahA
PraLayam . AvAnthara PraLayam happens at the end of
the day of Brahma Devan
. MahA PraLayam refers to the end of the rule of Brahma
dEvan , which consists of
many , many days and nights and years of Brahma devan .
No Ocean or the Pupil leaf is
seen during the MahA PraLayam . Moola Prakruthi
is encompassed inside Tamas .
There is nothing else except the Lord and His
sankalpa Jn~Anam that serves
as the stomach in the avAnthara PraLayam time.
The absence of Moola
Prakruthi at that time of MahA PraLayam is saluted by
the VedAs as " Tasya
Prakruthi-leenasya Ya: Para: Sa MahEswara: " . The
Paasuram
containing these MahA
Tathtvams are enshrined in Thirumangai's Fifth Paasuram .
Here " VayiRRiniladakki "
does not mean retaining them for safety in the Lord's
stomach (VayiRu) but every
thing being contained inside the Sanklapa Jn~Anam of
the Lord , the Aaadhi
Purushan . All letters are gone now including akaram but
the meaning of that akaram
( ThiruviNNagarappan ) remains as the sole existing
entity
. When
Thirumangai refers to " Ohr uru aanavanE " in this Paasuram ,
he means that all
avathAra roopams have disappeared to merge in the Aaadhi
NaaTan , ThiruviNNagarappan .
Thirumangai remembers that
Lord in the state of MahA PraLayam
and reminds Him that the
darsana soubhAgyam of that Aadhi NaaTan
at ThiruviNNagar in His
archA form will kindle his VairAgyam to cast
aside this world and its
temptations and transform him into a nithya kinkaran
for the AaakAsa
Nagareesan/ThiruviNNagarappan ( VyOmapureesan ).

Oh Jagath KakraNA ! You
became the dark oceans and Mountains and
the beautiful universe with
its multitudinous sentients and insentients ; You reached
a stage
during Your
srushti vyApAram that was beyond the ken of even superior
beings like Brahma dEvan and
Indhran et al . Oh Lord , who is celebrated through
the recitation of the four
sacred VedAs ! If only adiyEn has the bhAgyam of
Your darsanam at archA form
at Your dhivya dEsam of ThiruviNNagaram ,
I will reject utterly the
anithya sukhams of this world and seek instantly
the nithya sukham of being
Your servant at Your Supreme abode to
enjoy niravadhya Kaimkaryam
to You , my Supreme Master .
In the four Vedams , Kaamya
KarmAs are referred to . Those who recite them
would get the dEva padhavi ,
Svarga Vaasam and other perishable Iswaryam .
Oh Lord ! adiyEn does not
seek them . adiyEn is praying only for Your
SaakshAthkAraam at ThiruviNNagar .
