Dear
SrEvaishNavites,
Descritpitons for certain terms in the
pAsuram-s are provided by AchAryAs which are referred to in the vyAkyAnam-s.
These not only provide insight into the meaning of the term but also add flavour
to the commentary.
The term is given in olive colour while
the pAsuram is in blue and the vyAkyAnam -whether mUvAyiram or ARayiram etc. is
given in red for easy reference.
THE FLYING LITTLE
LION
From the First pAsuram: mUvAyiRappaDi
Sri krshNA is described
as:
yasOdhai iLam singam: What is iLam singam ? Sri bhattar -- singak-kurugu.
What is singak
kurugu? Singam is a wild animal while kurugu is a
bird.
The little lion which flies and jump, is
the intended meaning. Dont be misled that He is a little one, He has the power
of the lion and the capability of the bird to fly.
'DONT HAVE ANY QUALMS
WHATSOEVER'
From the First pAsuram--nAlAyirappaDi.
sEr malgum AippADi:
One day sri bhattar was giving discourse
on thiruppAvai when a srEvaishNavite who was not having yagnOpavEtham -pUNal
sAthAdha srEvaishNavar came. On seeing this srE bhaTTar mentioned, "Do not
hesitate. Enter without any qualms. This is thiru-AippADi"
