 Dear BhakthAs :
 
Let us cover the highlights of the Four commentaries
on the Second Paasuram of ThiruppallANDu in this posting .
 
 Second  Paasuram of ThiruppallANDu
***************************************

 Sanskrit Meaning by Upanishad BhAshyakArar
**************************************************
***************************************************
Line 1: AdiyOmOdum NinnODum pirivinRi aayiram pallANdu:
*************************************************************

DaasabhUthai: asmAbhi: SwAminA bhavathA cha ,
vicchEdham-antarENa , anEka sahasra samvathsarAn
ThirukkAppu

The TirukAppu here is for state of union with the Lord
and His dhAsabhuthars ( SeshabhUthars) for countless
number of years .The ThirukkAppu is at two levels :
 
(1) It is for the inseperability between the  sambhandhis ( PerumAL 
and His DhAsabhUthars/adiyArkaL represented by PeriyAzhwAr ) .
 
(2) It is also for the Sambhandham , the state of inseperability
in addition to the  relationship between the Sambhandhis.
 
 Line 2: VadivAi Unn vala Maarbhinil VaazhinRa Mangayum PallANDu
*********************************************************************
RoopavathyA: ThvadheeyE dakshiNO: sTalE  sAnandham vasanthyA:
akumAra-yuvathyA LakshmyAsccha anEka samvathsarAn rakshA
(bhavathu)
 
 MahA Lakshmi is the embodiment of Beauty (Roopavathy).
Her beauty is in a state between KumAri and Yuvathy
akumAra yuvathy )  . This emboodiment of youthful Soundharyam
is unaltered at all times (eternal). She confers auspiciousness 
(MangaLams) to one and all .She does not know any nigraham
(SeeRRam ) ever. She lives in a state of bliss on the right chest of
Her Lord.

PeriyAzhwAr wishes ThirukkAppu to PirAtti and to Her Lord
as well as to their state of union . AzhwAr performs benedictions
for their union to be eternal  (nithyam and avicchinnam).
 
 MahA Lakshmi is the One , who creates Iswaryam for PerumAL.
She confers the lustre (Kaanthi) for PerumAL through Her own
Kaanthi. PeriyAzhwAr recognizes that the invocation of rakshA
for Her would alone produce rakshA (ThirukkAppu ) for PerumAL .
Only then will the assembly of chEtanams will be blessed with
Sadhgathy . Therefore , PeriyAzhwAr hastened to perform
ThirukkAppu for MahA Lakshmi living on the right chest of
the Lord .
 
 Line 3: VadivAr sOthi valatthu uRayum Sudar aazhiyum PallANDu
*********************************************************************
Dhivya vigraha vyAptha tEjasa: , DakshiNa hasthE vasatha:
jAjvalyamAnasya Sudarsanasya cha anEka samvathsarAn rakshA !
 
 Sudarsanar's tejas is expansively present in the ThirumEni of
the Lord and Sudarsanar rests on the right hand of the Lord
and is radiant forever. Sudarsanar acts as the  weapon towards
the Lord's enemies and as an aabharaNam incase of the Lord's
BhakthAs . Here PeriyAzhwAr's confers his benediction for
PerumAl and Sudarsanar and performs ThirukkAppu for
their togetherness forever .

Line 4: Padai-pOr-pukku muzhangum appAnjajaniyamum pallANDE
*********************************************************************
The divine conch of the Lord ( Paanchajanyam) leaves the enemies of
the Lord in a state of delusion (mayakkam) , frightens them and
finally destroys them . PeriyAzhwAr performs ThirukkAppu for
PerumAL and His conch and prays for raksha for their togetherness
for thousands of years .

PERIYA PARAKAALA MUNI'S COMMENTARY
*********************************************
1. AdiyOmOdum : "adi pOnra yemmOdu " is one
interpretation . We are Your Thiruvadi ( DhAsa BhUthars)
and PallANDu to You united with Your Sesha BhUthars , us.
 
 The second interpretation is : PeriyAzhwAr does not say
" yengaLODum " ; instead , he says "adiyOmODum ". Yengal
connects to the MamathAkAra ego . When that is destroyed ,
access to the Lord is made easier. The " adiyOm " sabdham
eliminates that mamathAkAram and therefore PeriyAzhwAr
chose the "adiyOm " sabdham.
 
 2. AdiyOmOdum NinnOdum : Another Azhwar has declared
 the mutual relationship (anyOnya sambhandham) between
 the Lord and the Jeevan this way : " Naan Unnai anRi ilEn kaNDAy,
 NaaraNanE , Nee yennai anRi ilai ". You do not exist without me
 (as Your sarIram) and I do not have satthA (existence ) without
 You as my sarIree (indweller ) . That sambhandham is celebrated
 here and RakshA is offered to that sambhandham .
 
 Sriman NaarAyaNan displayed the lady on His right chest , the powerful
Sudharsanar & the Conch , Paanchajanyam and queried  AzhwAr about 
the reason for AzhwAr's fear about His safety . AzhwAr  responded with 
ThirukkAppu for the Union of the Lord  with the MangaLa Svaroopi , 
PirAtti , the unfailing Sudarsanar and the Sankham , which  raises 
the Vijaya ghOsham  in the battles of its Lord .
 
 Thirukkudanthai Desikan's Commentary
******************************************
 In the first paasuram of ThiruppallANDu , PeriyAzhwAr performed
 ThirukkAppu for the Vigraha Yogam   and GuNa yOgam ( MallANDa    
ThiNN ThOLL MaNivaNNA ! Unn sevvadi sevvi ThirukkAppu ) . 

In the second  ThiruppallANDu Paasuram , PeriyAzhwAr performs 
MangaLASAsanam  for the Ubhaya VibhUthi yOgam ( For the state of 
His union with  the ChEthanams in His LeelA VibhUthi and with His 
PirAtti and  weapons in the Nithya VibhUthi).
 
 Why adiyOmOdum instead of adiyEnOdu ?
 ******************************************
AdiyEn is singular (yEka vachanam) ; adiyOm is bahu vachanam
(Plural). AzhwAr had a clear knowledge about his aathma svaroopam
and his dhAsyam to the lord as His the Seshan ( eternal servant of 
the  Lord ) . There are many others , who did not have a clear 
knowledge about  their Svaroopam . Hence , AzhwAr adds them 
to his group with adiyOmOdum) and performs rakshA for their 
inseperable union with the Lord for  untold length of time.
 
 How the first two Paasurams cover the meanings of Thiru Manthiram ?
*************************************************************************
PraNavArTam is linked with the term "adiyOmOdum ".
 
 Nama: sabdham is implied in the passage : "PallANDu pallANDu ".
 
 Vigraha SoundharyAdhi yOgam is referred to in the salutation :
 " ThiNDOL MaNivaNNA ".
 
 (Ubhaya) VibhUthi Yogam along with NaarAyaNa sabdhArTam
 is cited with "adiyOmOdum NinnOdum pirivinRi ".
 
 Chathruthi (aaya sabdham) is linked to " sevvadi sevvi ThirukkAppu "
 passage of the Paasuram .
 
 Thus , the first two paasurams together constitute the meaning of
 AshtAkasharam ( Moola Manthram/Thiru Manthiram) .
 
 Thirukkudanthai RanganAthAcchAr's commentary
 ******************************************************
 The first Paasuram of ThiruppallANDu celebrated the Vigraha
 and GuNa yOgams . The second paasuram focuses on
 the Ubhaya VibhUthi yOgam .
 
 Why adiyOmOdum instead of YennODum ?
 ********************************************
 1. DehAthmAbhimAni is lead by the thinking that the eternal Jeevan
 and the time-bound dEham are one and the same (dEhAthma Bramam).
 MaayAvAdhi will perform aathma buddhi in ahankAram ( Jeevan and
 Iswaran are one and the same). Saankhyan will put the emphasis on
 prakruthi ( insentient ) and say " PrakruthE: Param Svayam " ( Prakruthi
 is Supreme). AzhwAr is not one of these deluded ones . He clearly knew
 about his own intrinsic nature (Sva Svaroopam ) and that of the Lord's
 Svaroopam as ParamAthmA ( Para Svaroopam ). Out of compassion for
 the other three kinds , PeriyAzhwAr  includes them also in his
 MangaLAsAsanam for their ujjevanam . He was not content (paryApthi)
 with performing RakshA all alone and included all the AathmAs
 (SarvAthmAs) as Seshans for the Seshi , ParamAthmA  and performed
 RakshA kaimkaryam. AzhwAr proceeded with his ThirukAppu on
 behalf of all the chEthanams , which constitute the body of the Lord
 ( charAcharANi sarvANi bhUthAni Bhagavath Vapu: ).
 
 2. NinnOdum : Seshithva MangaLAsAsanam  dealing with the dhivyAthma
 svaroopam aspect of the Lord.
 
 3. Aayiram PallANDu : Prayer (MangaLAsAsanam ) to last as long as
 the doctrine of time lasts.
 
 4. VadivAyi : The Lord's tEjas ( Vadivu=niRam) is enhanced by PirAtti's
 tEjas ( SraddhayA dEvO dEvathvam asnuthE ; apramEyam hi tatthtEjO
 yasya Saa JanakAthmajA ).
 
 5. Mangayum : A stage where the emerging soundharyam is between
 a KumAri (maiden) and a Yuvathi/young woman (Yuvathisccha KumAriNee).
 Bhagavaan is addressed as " iLam Kumaran " ( YuvA KumAra: ) .She is samam
 in all avasthais (stages) and therefore She is Yuvathee-KumAree .
 
 6.VadivAr sOthi : BhagavAn's ThirumEni is like a dark rainy cloud.
 The jyOthi of Sudaarsanar makes this dark blue ThirumEni
 ( Purusham KrishNa PingaLam ) vyAptham.
 
 7. Padai pOr Pukkum ithyAdhi: With its Naadham , Paancha Janyam
 reassures us and destroys the enemies of the Lord  (Yasya naadhEna
 dhaithyAnAm balahAnir- ajAyatha).
 
 8. Why "AppAnchajanyam" instead of Paanchajanyam? : The Mother who
 decorates Her child with flowers and jewelery is afraid thereafter and
 fears that her kaNN yecchil ( dhrushti dhOsham) will fall on her beautiful
 child and hence distances herself by turning her face away . This attitude
 is called " ParOksha nirdEsam " . AzhwAr is in a similar mood and
 calls the Paanchajanyam as "appAnchajanyam " or that Paanchajanyam
 in a distant manner .
 
 9. The entire meaning of Thiru Manthiram is enshrined in the first two
 Paasurams of ThiruppallANDu .
