Dear BhakthAs of ThiruviNNagarappan :

Today , let us enjoy the last two Paasurams of Kaliyan's Periya Thirumozhi
from 6.2 decad . In the 6.2.9 Paasuram , Kaliyan eulogized the Lord of
ThiruviNNagaram as "Sujana Saarvabhouman " . In the 6.2.10 , Kaliyan
revealed the phalan of reciting the ten paasurams of this decad .

Periya Thirumozhi 6.2.9 Paasuram
************************************
pOthAr ThaamarayAL pulavik-kula vaanavar tamm
    kOthA ! kOthil senkOl kudai mannaridai nadantha
dhUthA ! ThUmozhiyAi ! Sudar pOl yenn manatthiruntha
   VedhA ! NinnadainthEn ThiruviNNagar MeyavanE
!

(Meaning ) : Oh Lord of ThiruviNNagaram dear to MahA Lakshmi
residing in the red lotus that blossoms in time , to BhU dEvi and
to the DevAs living in Indhira lOkam ! Oh blemishless Messenger ,
who mediated as the ambassador on behalf of the PaaNDavAs
in the middle of many ruling kings ! Oh Lord with sacred Speech
(vaak) ! Oh the quintessence of VedhAs shining as the bright jyOthi
in my mind !  adiyEn has now surrendered at Your sacred Thiruvadi
and seek Your anugraham .

Special Notes :
*******************
At this dhivya dEsam , there is only one NaacchiAr , BhUmi Devi ( Pulavi) .
At SrI Vaikuntam , the Lord is seated with Sri Devi , BhUmi Devi
and NeeLA Devi on His throne of Adhi Seshan . At this dhivya dEsam
sung by Kaliyan and three other AzhwArs , the Lord wed BhUmi Devi
and agreed to Sage MarkaNDEyar's prayer to stay forever
at ThiruviNNagaram . Here , BhUmi DEvi , the young bride stays
in a  kneeling position  next to the Lord at His right side ; MahA Lakshmi,
the Lotus lady takes up Her residence at the Lord's Chest  .
The Nithya Sooris and the DevAs are positioned at the Lord's
sacred  feet . He is dear to them all ( pOthu aar ThAmarayAL
pulavi kula vaanavar tamm KOthA ! ) .

ThiruviNNagarappan   went as PaaNDava dhUthan to negotiate
the rightful share for the PaaNDavAs at the court of the evil
DuryOdhanan populated by the assembly of  kings friendly to
the KouravAs ( KOthil senkOl kudai mannaridai nadantha DhUthA ! ) .

The Lord of ThiruviNNagar as RaamAvathAran uttered
the sacred words at Sethukkarai that defined His vow
to protect anyone , who sought His refuge even once  .

The Lord of ThiruviNNagaram as KrishNAvathAran
uttered HIs  ThU Mozhi of Charama slOkam and  assured Arjuna
freedom from fear after performing prapatthi to Him .

ThiruviNNagrappan as BhUvarAhan spoke the ThUmozhi of
VarAha Charama slOkam in response to the plea of BhU Devi
to save their suffering children from SamsAric afflictions .
He performed upadEsam for BrahmA on the ThU Mozhi of
the sacred Vedams . Thus , the Lord of ThiruviNNagaram
is the originator of many sacred utternaces . Reflecting on all
these anugrahams and upadEsams , Kaliyan addresses the Lord
as ThUmozhiyAi in this Paasuram .

Kaliyan through the benefit of ripe Jn~Ana yOgam was able to
experience the presence of ThiruviNNagarappan as the Param JyOthi
in his heart lotus . Kaliyan experienced ThiruviNNagarappan as
the antharyAmi Brahman and saluted Him as  "  JyOthishAm JyOthi: " ,
the Light of Lights . Mundaka Upanishad salutes this "Sudar JyOthi "
as " Him the shining One , every thing shines after , by this light all
this is lighted ( tamEva BhAndham anubhAthi sarvam tasya bhAsA
sarvam idham vibhAthi ) . ChAndhOgya Upanishad ( III.12.6) reveals
the connection between the " Sudar JyOthi " inside the heart lotus as
antharyAmi Brahman and the Supreme  light ( JyOthi) shining in
Sri Vaikuntam : " Now the light which shines above this heaven ,
above all , above every thing , in the highest worlds beyond which
there are no higher worlds  , verily , that is the same as the light
which is here within the person " . This explanation is endorsed by
BadarAyaNA's Brahma Soothram : " JyOthis-charaNAbhidhAnaath "
It means that the cosmic light is Brahman because of the reference to
the part or feet in the Upanishad ( Brhaman has four parts ) :  " Such
is the greatness of it : greater than it is the Supreme Person .
One foot or aprt of it represents all the beings  in the universe ,
while the other three parts ( thripAdh ) are in immortal higher
domain ( amrutham dhivi ) . The same supreme Being , who is
connected with the other three-quarters of the higher abode is
referred to in the ChAndhOgya Upanishad as the light connected
with the higher domain (atha parO dhivO jyOthi ) .

Periya Thirumozhi 6.2.10 Paasuram( Phala Sruthi)

tEnAr poompuRavil ThiruviNNagar Meyavanai

(Meaning ) : Kaliyan , the king of the region of Thirumangai known
for its tall ramparts reaching up to the sky has sung these ten
Tamil paasurams  about  the SarvEswaran , who relishes His
residence at ThiruviNNagaram surrounded by abundnt groves
with honey-filled flowering trees . Kaliyan holding the spear with
the stains of war with the enemies of the BhagavathAs
has sung these paasurams in praise of ThiruviNNagarappan .
Those who learn and reflect upon these ten pasurams on
ThiruviNNagarappan by Kaliyan will become emperors here
on earth and will reach Sri Vaikuntam at the end of their life
to join the ghOshti  of the Nithya Sooris to serve the Lord there .
