SrI:
 
Let us enjoy today the sixth Paasuram , where Kaliyan appeals to
HrusheekEsan , the Lord who is the controller of all Indhriyams
for help to overcome the misery of the Indhriyams . Through the use of
the word "Mallaa " in the Paasuram , Kaliyan aims his appeal to
HrusheekEsan or the Isan of Hrusheekams ( Indhriyams) . " IndhriyANAm
niyanthruthvAth HrusheekEsa: prakeertthitha: " is the definition for
HrusheekEsan . Here is the Paasuram :
 
kallaa eimpulankaL avai kaNDavARu seyya-killEn
     Mallaa ! mall amaruL mallar maaLa malladarttha
Mallaa ! maallal-amm-seer mathiL Ilankai azhittha
     Villaa! NinnadainthEn ThiruviNNagar MeyavanE !
 
(Extended Meaning) : Oh Lord of ThiruviNNagar ! adiyEn could not go along
with the machinations of the panchEndhriyams driven by their poorva vAsanais.
They are ancient in origin . They thrive on dhushta vyApArams that lead to
their dhurvAsanais . adiyEn is dismayed and repeleld by their persistent
attacks to steer adiyEn towards aabhAsa vyApArams . Oh RishikEsA !
You are known for Your mighty valour to defeat the fearsome wrestlers 
of the KamsA's court with the name of ChANUran and Mushtikan . Your
valor in handling KodhaNdam to destroy the fortress city of LankA
girdled by the ocean is legendary  . Oh Lord of such undisputed valour !
You must help me to overcome the traps that adiyEn's  PanchEndhriyams
set for me incessantly . They will not learn anything and change their ways.
Oh HrisheekEsaA ! You have to bless adiyEn with the arrow of vivEkam
to control these pestering PanchEndhriyams . Please empower adiyEn !
 
Special Notes : The Naalu Kavi PaNDithar , Kaliyan ( Scholar adept at
creating the four kinds of poetry ) thrills our ears with the rhythm and
alliterations in this Paasuram . He disparagingly refers to PanchEndhriyams
as "Kallaa EimpulankaL ". They are  beyond education and training .
They do not benefit from learning about what is to be learned and
keep on doing lowly and forbidden things ( nishittha kaamya karmAs )  .
They keep on generating ruchi for SamsAram and make the Jeevan
a Nithya SamsAri . To control and keep at bay these "Kallaa EimpulankaL " ,
the Jevan needs the help of HrusheekEsan . Kaliyan invokes the presence of
the Lord as " Mallaa" in his struggle agaist these "kallaa EimpulankaL ".
 
Kaliyan reminds the Lord that His valor was well known both in Raama , KrishNa
avathArams . In KrishNAvathAram , our Lord entered the wrestling ring
( mall amaruL ) and destroyed the mighty wrstlers of Kamsan ( Mallar maaLa
mall adartthAi ).  The way in which Kaliyan weaves a musical tapestry
around the word " mal " is most strike worthy . Mallaa ( HrusheekEsA ) !
You entered the wrestling ring for a fight ( mall amaruL puhunthAi ) with
the Mallars . You wanted to destroy the powerful and well trained Mallars
and send a message to Your uncle , Kamsan about Your valour ( Mall amaruL
mallar maaLa Mall adartthAi ) . Mall here means the prowess of the wrestlers .
adartthAi means destroyed . " Mallaa ! Mall amaruL mall adarttha Mallaa !
The first Mallaa  refers to HrushekEsan , who controls the Indhriyams .
The last Mallaa stands for the power of the Lord , who destroyed the great
wrestlers like ChANUrA .
 
In RaamAvathAram , KODhaNdapANi used His mighty bow to destroy
the fortified city of LankA protected by the sea all around . As Raghu veeran
and RaNa dheeran , He  destroyed the aparAdhi , RaavaNan and his entourage
( KumbhakarNan , Indhrajith , Moola Balam et al) effortlessly . Kaliyan  enjoys
RaamAvathAran   , ThiruviNNagarappan , and recalls His valor : " Mallal amm
seer mathiL neer Ilankai azhittha Villaa " . Mallal means the most famous .
The city of LankA is known for its  most beautiful ramparts ( mallal amm
seer mathiL ) surrounded by the ocean ( neer soozh Ilankai ) . Our Lord
destroyed that city and its king and came to be addressed as "Ilankai
azhittha villaa " . Vijaya Raaghavaa ! adiyEn has now arrived at Your lotus
feet seeking protection from the " kaNDavARu seyyum eimpulankaL ".  
ThiruviNNagar MeyavanE ! Mallaa ! Ilankai azhittha villaa ! mallar maaLa
malladarttha Mallaa ! Kallaa EimpulankaL avai kaNDavARu seyya killEn .
( athanAl ) Villaaa ! NinnadainthEn . Raksha Maam HrusheekEsa !
