nam-AzhwAr svayamvaram
 
EDU- INTRODUCTION TO 'karu mANikka malai mEal" thiru voi mozhi 8-9.
 
maNa vilakku
 
 
The proclamation that parAnkusa nAyaki-s wedding quest is done by the parents/maidens of parAnkusa nAyaki reaches the maiden friends of parAnkusa nAyaki.
 
What is the situation of parAnkusa nAyaki at this juncture?
 
This is spotted by the friend/thozhi of parAnkusa nAyaki. The appearane and speech differs and she perceives that parAnkusa nAyaki in fact has got herself merged with thiruppuliyUr Lord.
 
This situation is akin to bharathAzhwAn being termed as "king". The maiden friend decides that this sound of invitation for the wedding svayamvaram will be death din to parAnkusa nAyaki who will not tolerate any relatinship with mortals-mAnidavarku enRu pEachu padil.
 
Hence, the friend decides to gradually reveal the fact that AzhwAr has already surrendered herself to the thruppuliyUr Lord. However, revealing this bluntly would result in  retort and uproar.
 
Hence, they started thinking aloud regarding the difference in appearance and _expression_ of AzhwAr. "There appears to be some relationship between parAnkusa nAyaki and thiruppuliyUr Lord.? is the enquiry by them in front of thAyAr.
 
The fact is finally stated that AzhwAr has submitted herself to that Lord and none else.  Hence, please stop seeking bridegroom for this parAnkusa nAyaki.
 
"ivaL thAn angEa ananyArhai AnAL; nEngaL seigiRa ivaRRaith thavirungOL" is the counsel by fellow maiden/s. This is called "maNa vilakku" in tamil literature.
 
Here, Edu's sentence of authority is to be recalled.
 
" thiru mandhirathil, thanakkum piRarkumAi irukkum iruppaik kazhithu ananyArha shEshathvathai sollak kadavadhiREa"
 
The soul should be for the Lord alone exclusively. It should be neither for itself nor for others is the message in a nutshell.
 
If there is a maiden she should submit herself for only one man and when she does so completley and comprehesively, then she is not for anybody else follows automatically.
 
"idhil svasvAthantharyamum, anya-shEshathvamum apurushArtham engiRadhu' . The soul being independent or submitting to others is explained as contrary to the basic nature of the soul in this thiru-voi-mozhi.
