SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest all, Sri Uttamoor swami says in his commentary that after the deep anubhavam of Periya Thirumozhi, and enjoying the depths of Ashtakshara mantra upadesam from the very Lord Himself, the Lord wanted some more from the AzhwAr. Hence He did not show Himself fully to AzhwAr. In a mood of longing and languishing, viraha thaapam, AzhwAr declares his eternal sEsha, dAsathvam to the Lord and his servitude to the Lotus feet of Lord at all times and under all circumstances. He bursts out with wonderful divine rhying 20 verses of ThirukuuthAndakam and 30 verses of TNT. (which we will enjoy subsequently). Thus the verses in shorter length ( aRuseerkkazhi nedilAsiriya viruttham ) became ThirukkuRunthANDakam (TKT)and the one with eight fold symmetry (yeNN Seer) came to be known as ThirunedumthANDakam(TNT). Latter is an elaboration of the last two paasurams of ThirukkuRunthANDakam. [From Sri Satakopan Swami article] AzhwAr addresses Gokula Krishna and similar to Thondaradippodi AzhwAr?s Thirumaalai, this is also primarily sung on Lord Sri Ranganathan- says Sri Uttamoor Swami. nithiyinaip pavaLath thooNai neRimaiyAl ninaiya vallAr, kathiyinaik kancan mALak kaNtumun ANta mALum, mathiyinai mAlai vaazhththi vaNangkiyen manaththu van^tha, vithiyinaik kaNtu koNta thoNtanEn vituki lEnE 1 nidhiyinai- Like the golden treasure- hiraNya nidhi (as uttered in Upanishads referring to Paramathma; pavaLatthooNai- red coral pillar like Lord; neRimaiyaal- [without Him] can not exist and sustain ninaiya ? thinking of Him (thus) vallaar- those capable of gathiyinai- everything [He grants them all with right jnAnam, bhakti etc] kanjan maaLa kaNdu- paving the way for Kamsan to get killed; mun aNdam- the Whole Universe [that belonged to Him even originally earlier as well] aaLum mathiyinai- capable of ruling [the leela vibhuthi ? the Universe] maalai- The Lord who is always in love with His devotees en manatthu [hence in my mind] vandha (OR) uvandha ? entered (or) rejoice entering into vidhiyinai- Lord (My destination;) vaazhtthi vaNangi- offered prayers and prostrated kaNdu- saw Him in my mind (sakshAthkAram) koNda- considered Him as my Swami, Master always thoNdanaen- this eternal servant of His (I) vidugilEn E- would never ever leave Him at all. The Golden treasure is uttered also in Upanishad referring to the Lord as HiraNya Nidhi. The Pillar is made up of coral pearl and the colur is due to Sri Mahalakshmi being with Him. He is the Pillar and hence He is Adharam; He holds eeveryone and everything as the Swami. Those who reside in the House with Him as the Pillar, would reside comfortably and peacefully. He grants the devotees all (as even the celestial bodies see Him being so dear to those who have unflinching devotion and faith in Him). neRimai- also means- those who abide and are in accordance with saasthras; Thus, those who act and perform as per his command to do bhakti yogam or Prapatti and thereby enabling Him to grant moksham leaving Him no room for any partiality or bias. Thus the devotees can not even live without thinking of Him at all. Here Sishta paripalanam and hence follwed by Dhushta sikshaNam (namely Kamsan killing is referred to). Thus killing Him is not to get the kingdom; It has been originally belonging to Him anyway; (mun aNdam) Alum mathiyinai- is the interpretation is to Varaha Sarama Slokam, where he says "Aham Smaraami ". Mathi stands for mind or mental disposition. His mind set is to think of his Bhaktha at the time, when the bhaktha lies down on his death bed like a stone or wood during the last moments of his life and is unable to think of the Lord. He not only thinks of His Bhaktha at that time, but leads him to Vaikutam by hand. kaNdu koNdEn- I have been able to cross the bondage of samsara. I would never ever leave the Lord, whom I have discovered as the resident of my heart and to whom I have praised and have prostrated, offered deep devotion. ?Thondanehn Viduhileneh". I, your servant will not let go of your holy feet. Mahaviswasam of the Azhwaar is abundantly clear here.
