SrI:
Dear BhakthAs of ThiruviNNagarappan
:
In the previous Paasuram ,
Thirumangai declared that he will not
forget the anubhava sukham of the
Lord ( Inbham thuRappEn allan ).
He stated further that he will not
forget ever the dhivya soundharyam
of the Lord ( Ninn uruvam yenRum
maRappEn allEn ) . adiyEn will
not hence view myself as taking
another Janmam based on the reason
of my Tanmayathvam with You ,
the Lord of ThiruviNNagaram .
In this Paasuram , Thirumangai makes
some fine distinctions . He responds
to the question that he anticipates
from the Lord : KaliyA ! You say that you
will not forsake the bliss of
anubhavam about me . You are known for
VishayAnubhava pravrutthi (
engagement in Vishaya sukhams) . How could
you claim that you have developed
Tanmayathvam towards Me ?
Kaliyan Responds this way to allay
the doubts of the Lord :
thuRantEn Aarvac-cheRRam suRRam
thuRanthamayAl
siRanthEn NinnadikkE
adimai ThirumAlE
aRam thAnn aay thirivAi Unnai yenn
manatthu ahatthE
thiRampAmal koNDEn
ThiruviNNagarAnE - - -Periya Thirumozhi: 6.3.2
(Meaning ): Sriya: Pathi ( ThirumAlE
) ! adiyEn has abandoned my
relatives filled with desires (
raagam) and dhvEsahams ( hatred ) .
As a result of that initiative
, adiyEn's servitude ( dhaasyam ) for Your
sacred feet has grown many fold and
has attained a special significance .
Oh Lord , who moves around
as the embodiment of
SanAthana dharmam
( aRam ThAnAi thirivAi ) !
adiyEn has now kept You
inside my mind securely
( Unnai yenn manatthu
ahatthE thiRampAmal
koNDEn ) .
Special Notes :
**********************
Oh Lord of ThiruviNNagar ! Not only did adiyEn leave behind
the raaga-dhvEshams but adiyEn also left the Bandhus with
raaga-dhvEshams , who would have stood in the way of perfecting
my striving for You . AdiyEn stays only with those bhandhUs ,
who kindle and reinforce the sukhAnubhavam about Your
dhivya mangaLa vigraham and anantha kalyANa guNams .
This new state of servitude ( dhaasyam ) has become more
distinguished than the previous state of adimai . adiyEn has
fully absorbed Your upadEsam that You alone are the SanAthana
dharmam and You are the one to be worshipped through
all dharmAs (Sarva Dharma SamArAdhyan) ; as a result ,
my servitude to You has stayed firm and will not experience
any vikArams (Changes) .
We find the echo of
Thirumangai's
moving statement
in the prayer of AchArya RaamAnuja in his
SaraNAgathy
gadhyam SooNikai :
pitharam mAtharam dhArAn BhandhUn sakhIn
gurUn
rathnAni dhana-dhAnyAni kshEthrANi cha gruhANi
cha
sarvadharmAmsccha santhyajya sarva-kAmAmsccha

lOka-vikrAntha CharaNou SaraNam tE avrajam
vibhO
dhAsabhUtha: SaraNAgathOsmi Tvaasmi
dhAsa:
ithi vakthAram mAmm taaraya !
The Lord's answer for that SaraNAgathy was : "- -
- asEsha-sEshathaika-rathiroopa nithya kinkarO bhavishyasi . maa tE bhUth athra
samsaya: "
Thirumnagai's SaraNAgathy was performed and the
aathma
rakshA bharam was granted by the Lord as in the case of
AchArya RaamAnuja later .
