The Regular
Hospitality-2
nAdORum
virundhOmbuvAr
Sri periyAzhwAr talks high about
hospitality again, elsewhere in the same prabhandham.
"nA-akAriayam sol
ilAdhavar, nAL dhORum virundhOmbuvAr' peiriAzhwAr thirumozhi
4-4-1;
The attributes and greatness of the
devotees of thiruk-kOshtiyUr dhivya-dhEsam is appreciated by
periAzhwAr.
The quality of receiving the guests
and taking care of them day in and day out is highlighted here. Another great
thing is those who are regularly residing there are also taken the same care as
if they have just arrived for taking food.
There is a saying =faimiliarity
breeds contempt. Similarly, if a srEvaishNavite is residing on a regular
basis they are tend to be sidelined or given a secondary importance. An attitude
'after all they are here regularly' creeps in. This attitude is avoided
by the thiru-k-kOshtiyUr devotees, is the
observation of swAmi periAzhwAr.
The vyAkyAnam highlights this
fact:
"nithya vAsam seiyyum srEvaishNavargaLai, appOdhu amudhu seiyya
ezhundharuLina srEvaishNavargaLaip pOlEA,
AdharippArgaL"
'SrevaishNavites who
regularly live are treated at par with those SrEvaishNavites who visit the divya
desam'
