Dear SrEvaishNavites,
Does the devotion of Sri Kaliyan towards the bhAgavathAs a flash in the pan? Is it just a passing cloud or is it a fancy/infatuation? Is it a temporary phenomenon or a permanent  affair?
 
Please go further .

?emperumAn thAl thozhuvAr eppozhudum en manaththE erukkindrArE? 7-4-2;

 

The BruhadAranya Upanishad  says, ?athmAvA arE drushtavya: srOtravyO mandavyO nidhithyAsitavya:I? [ First listen to the sastras and learn about the paramAtma; Then explore about the same; Then meditate on the lord till you reach the stage of sAkshAtkAram (viewing with your eyes)] Thirumangai azhvar?s prime motto is to have the darshan of the lord that which he is going to attain at the end of his last prabhandam, thiruneduntAndakam.  Azhvar has learnt about the paramatma already which is clear from his words, ?kandukondEn nArAyana ennum nAmam; nAnum sonnEn namarum vuraimin namO nArAyanamE; etc? So it is clear that azhvar?s mind always meditates on only the divine qualities of emperuman.  So even if kaliyan places the bhagavatas on top of his head his mind will still meditate only on the lord.  Is it so?

 

?No!? answers kaliyan in the second paasuram.  Those blessed bhagavatas who are ever in the service of that lord, who has that divine piratti who was born in a beautiful lotus in his divine heart and that very lord who as a leela killed the asura in the form of a tree (vilAmaram) with the help of another asura vatsAsuran, in the form of a calf, at all times fill by heart.  Emperuman has a capturing walking style and the divya desam thiruchchErai itself is very attracting with sweet smelling gardens and the abode of the lord, the temple is huge but all these didn?t fill the heart of kaliyan as the greatness of the bhagavatas who are in the service of that thiruchchErai emperuman is milestones away.
