Arul Maa Kadal of Thiru SiRu
Puliyoor Dhivya Desam *******************************************************************
In the previous paasuram ,
Kaliyan stressed his utter dependence on
the lotus feet of the Lord as
his sole means for Moksham : " Aan-Aayanathu
adi allathu onRu aRiyEn
adiyEn " .
In this fifth Paasuram ,
Thirumangai begs the Lord to keep him far away
from the narakams through
appropriate anushtAnams prescribed by
Bhagavath Saasthrams
:
nandhA nedu narahatthidai
naNUhA vahai, naaLUm
YenthAyena
imayOr thozhuthu yEtthumidam , yeRineerc-
Chenthamarai malarum SiRu
PuliyUr chala sayanatthu
anthAmarai
adiyAyai ! UnathadiyERkku aruL puriyE
(Meaning) : Oh Lord ! At
Your Dhivya dEsam , the DevAs throng
and perform mangaLAsAsanam
for You while prostrating before
You as
their protective
Father and nourishing Mother . This they do
every day of the year . At
this dhivya dEsam of Yours , cool
and deep ponds are homes for
blossoming red lotuses that
remind us of the most
beautiful lotus feet of Yours . AdiyEn is
Your dear dhAsan . Please
bless adiyEn so that I do not fall into
any of the big , eternal
narakams . Please spare me naraka vaasam .
Special Notes
:
*******************
In the ThirunAngoor Paasuram
( Periya Thirumozhi: 3.8.1) , Kaliyan
addresses the Lord as "nandhA
ViLakkE ":
" NandhA viLakkE! aLatthaRkku
ariyAyai
Nara NaaraNanE ! KarumAmuhil
pOl
YenthAi ,
yemakkE aruLAi ----"
NandhA ViLakku means an
eternal lamp . This is also the lamp in
garbha graham , which is
never extinguished . Kaliyan addresses
the Lord as " My Father " (
YenthAi ) and prays for His anugraham
( YemakkE aruLai ).
One can hear echos of the
above Paasuram in the fifth paasuram
about Thiru SiRu PuliyUr
EmperumAn . Kaliyan refers to " nandhA
narakam " in the SiRu PuliyUr
Paasuram
. Kaliyan refers to eternal
narakam ( NandhA
narakam ) . Why is
narakam eternal ? There are
so many Bhaddha Jeevans
trespassing
Bhagavath Saasthrams
in so many ways in a repeated
manner that there
is no way to shut
down the gates of hell and
extinguish the red hot embers of
narakam or for the servants
of Yama dharman to close down
the narakams . Thus , the
narakams stay as " nandhA narakams " .
Kaliyan reminds the Lord that
he is His dear dhAsan with a fully-
developed Seshathva Jn~Anam
and that he has performed
SaraNAgathy at the
sacred feet of the Lord , the nandhA viLakku .
Kaliyan begs the Lord , His
Master , to keep him far, far away from
any one of these fierce
narakams and bless him to lead a chaste ,
post-prapatthi
life and
thereafter to enjoy the Lord at His Supreme
abode of Sri Vaikuntam for
nithya , niravadhya kaimkaryam there .
