Dear Sri VaanamAmalai Padmanabhan :
I deeply aprpeciate your close coverage of the Oppiliappan Postings
and supplementing them with passages from Yeedu , Acharya Hrudhayam

of awareness among the AzhwAr AruLiccheyalkaL and PoorvAchAryA's
commentaries on them . Thanks very much for sharing these resonances .

Dear SrEvaishNavites,
 
Swamy nam-AzhwAr expressed the temporary nature of wealth and positions "vAzhndhArgaL vAzhndhadhu mA-mazhai moKKuLil mAindhu" in oru-nAyakamAi thiru-voi-mozhi 4-1;
 
Thirumangai AzhwAr reiterates this fact and surrenders at the divine feet of Lord Oppiliappan which is described by Sri Sadagopan swAmy

mun-ANDavarEA mANDAR-AndhO! manai vAzhkai thanai vEANDEan--nin Adaindhean-thiruviNNagar mEAyavanEa

Dear BhakthAs of OppilA Appan :

Let us enjoy the FIFTH  paasuram of Thirumangai Mannan
( Periya Thirumozhi : 6.2. 5 ) :

PaaNDEn vaNDaRayum kuzhalArhaL pallANDisaippa
    aaNDAr vyamellAm arsaahi munnANDavarE
maaNDArenRu vanthAr anthO manai vAzhkkai tannai
   vENDEn NinnadainthEn ThiruviNNagar MeyavanE

(Extended Meaning ) : Oh Lord of ThiruviNNagaram ! adiyEn was enjoying
the aabhAsa iswaryam ( lowly , perishable wealth/riches)  because of
my incorrect assumption that the body is the Aathma . I threw myself
deeply in to enjoying the pleasures of deomestic life (manai Vaazhkkai).
adiyEn did not pay attention to what was happening all around me .
The great kings who ruled the world , who were eulogized for a long ,
long life (PallANDu) by the most beautiful women of the court adorning
fragrant flowers in their black , shiny tresses , where singing honey bees
frequent . The awesome power of these kings inspired  these beautiful
ladies to sing PallANDu for them . They ruled a few years over their
citizens , enjoyed their bhOgams and strutted on the global stage
and died soon after like anybody else .  Their power and wealth as
attested by the beautiful woman singers could not help them prolong
their lives .   Intha ulahai AaNDavarum MaaNDaar  .   One day they were
there on the stage and the next day they were gone and forgotten  
They are not going to come back . As Poetess OuvyyAr said
" AaaNDANDu thORum azhuthu puraNDAlum mANDAr varuvarO ? " .
Even if you are roll on the floor and cry out for them , will those ,
who are dead return to this earth asks OuvyyAr here .

While they were here acting out their pompous roles , these kings
let  their dEham and Indhriyams take over and were totally under their
control . They never developed any VivEkam or VairAgyam and ignored You ,
my Lord and your upadEsams to overcome dEhAthma Brahamam . adiyEn has
learnt from the ignominous end of these mighty kings and their helplessness
inspite of their power ; adiyEn has developed hence the needed VairAgyam
to disengage from these aabhAsa Iswaryams by vanquishing the mischevious
indhriyams of mine . adiyEn used Your upadEsams in GitA to empower me .
ThiruviNNagarAnE ! adiyEn has no more interest in the domestic life .
adiyEn has taken refuge at Your sacred feet for the Parama PurushArTam
of Moksham . Please grace adiyEn with Your anugraham !
