SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of ThiruviNNagarappan :

In the previous Paasuram , Thirumangai brought to the attention of
the Lord , the circumstances under which he ran to the Lord's side
for rescue : " MaanEy nOkku nallAr mathi pOl muhatthu ulavum
OonEy kaNN vaaLikku udainthu Ottanthu UnnadainthEn " .
AzhwAr confessed that he was afraid of being overtaken by
the eyes of beautiful women , which would hit him as arrows
and decommission him from his upAsanaa of the Lord . To escape these
powerful arrows , AzhwAr admitted that he ran in great haste and
arrived at the Lord's sacred feet for protection against them .

ThiruviNNagarappan laughed and asked AzhwAr a question : " Namm
Kaliyaa ! You say that you ran to Me because of fear about the effect of
the glances of the beautiful women , which would have the effect of
powerful arrows on you . What if you were held under their sway ? Are
you concerneed that the blissful anubhavam of Mine as Your Lord
and amrutham ( kOnAy thEnAna Yenn anubhavam ) will escape you ?
You could have surely gained  it  a little later after enjoying that
SiRRinbham . Did you consider that possibility ? AzhwAr was upset
by the Lord's teasing and expained with all sincerity the dangers
that would have befallen him ,  had he followed that path :

sAnthEnthu men-mulayAr taDam thOL puNar inbha veLLatthu
   AazhnthEn aru-narahatthu azhunthum payan padaitthEn
pOnthEn PuNNIyanE Unnai yeythi  yenn thee-vinaikaL
   theernthEn NinnadainthEn ThiruviNNagarAnE - - - Periya Thirumozhi : 6.3.4

(Meaning ) : Oh ThiruviNNagarappA ! in the past , adiyEn did indeed immerse
myself in the flood of aanandham that resulted from embracing the broad
shouldered ladies adorned with red sandal paste on their breasts as
decoration . adiyEn created for myself the phalan of falling in
the fearsome narakams for a long time due to my chasing of such
 siRRinbham and forgetting You and our relationship . Oh PuNya Moorthy !
adiyEn avoided this trap and rushed instead towards You through
the development of Svaroopa Jn~Nam , VivEkam and VairAgyam .
After reaching Your sacred feet , all my sins got burnt down
without trace just as a bale of cotton that fell inside roaring fire .
adiyEn has become pure ( Suddhan) and have clung to Your sacred
Thiruvadi as my parama prApyam and ultimate PurushArTam .

Special Notes : Thirumangai recognizes women as MangaLa Moorthys .
There is no dhOsham that he attributes to them . He recognizes their
soundharyam and worries about his weaknesses . Thirumangai performs
upadEsam as an AchAryan for us and points out that we have to recognize
our dhOshams and stay away from temptations that would land us in
places other than the Lord' sacred  feet . Once we develop  VairAgyam ,
ThiruviNagarappan will do the rest and get us to his KshEthram ; the rest
of the path in the efforts to gain Moksham is rendered easy for us
by Him .

In the next three Paasurams , Thirumangai declares his vow not to seek
any other gods except ThiruviNNagarappan for His rakshaNam . He resoundingly
declares : " MaRROr dhaivam yeNNEn ,  Dhaivam piRithu aRiyEn , MaRROr
dhaivam thEREn Unnai allAl " . Oh Vaikunta Naatha giving Your MangaLa
darsanam at Your dhivya dEsam of ThiruviNNagar in ChOLa dEsam !
When are You going to bless me with the boon of nithya Vaasam
in Your supreme abode of Sri Vaikuntam ? Sathya KaamA ! Sathya SankalpA !
GuNa PoorNA ! Please guide me in a way that the fruits of my SaraNAgathy
are realized .
