Arul Maa Kadal of Thiru SiRu Puliyoor Dhivya Desam *******************************************************************
In the previous paasuram , Klaiyan sought the Lord's anugraham
so that he will not come close to any one of the narakams .
 
In this paasuram , Kaliyan shares the answer that he recieved
from BhagavAn on how to avoid those narakams  by observing
an anushtAnam at SiRu PuliyUr :
 
Muzhu neelamum malar aambalaum aravindhamum viravi
    kazhuneerodu madavAr avar kaNN vaay mukham malarum
sezhuneer vayal tazhuvum Siru PulyUr  chala sayanam
    thozhu neermai athu udayAr adi thozhuvAr thyur ilarE ---7.9.6
 
The key words of the Paasuram are : " SirupuliyUr Thozhum neermai
athu udayAr adi thozhuvAr thuyar ilarE " .
 
(Meaning of the Paasuram ): SirupuliyUr is abundant with ponds ,
where the fully blue Uthpala pushpam (NeelOthpalam = Kumudham ) ,
blossoming white & red Aambal (arakkAmbhal) pushpam , red lotus
(SenthAmarai) and Senkazhuneer flowers bloom . The individual beauty of these
multihued flowers remind one of  the soundharyam of the individual limbs of
the charming women : their blue eyes , face , red lips and white teeth .
Kaliyan points out that even if the beauty of the flowers that you see
at the paddy fields and  ponds of SiRu PuliyUr  may distract  you  ,
think of the temptations of the lovely ladies and the associated sensory 
pleasures but escape from those temptations by taking the cue from " Viraktha
SikhAmaNis " ( Masters of dispassion from SamsAric Temptations) , who
live at SiRu PuliyUr and worship the Lord there . Worship the sacred feet of
those Viraktha BhagavathAs ( TadhiyALs ) , who perform Kaimakryam to
the Lord of SiRu PuliyUr  by mind , body and speech every moment of their lives .
Fall at the holy feet of these BhagavathAs and that anushtAnam alone will free You
from all samsAric temptations and resulting  sorrows . Through the observance
of  this easy-to-practise anushtAnam , You will escape the residence in
the different narakams . This is the method for staying far away from
those fearsome and eternal narakams : " nandhA narakam naNUhA
vahai " .
 
Special Notes :
*******************
Thirumangai points out that worshipping the Lord of SiRu PuliyUr
is the svabhAvam ( neermai) , the intrinsic nature of these BhagavathAs
of this dhivya dEsam . Kaliyan salutes them as " SiRu PuliyUr Thozhum
neermai athu udayAr " . avarkaL antha niyathi , neermai UdayavarkaL .
 
In this paasuram , Kaliyan performs upadEsam on one of the two
central doctrine of Sri VaishNavam  as it applies to SaraNAgathAs :
(1) not to committ  BhAgavathApachAram , which is treated as
an asahyApachAram by  the Lord and (2) the second asahyApachAram
of anyadEvathA worship  , which will make saraNAgathy fruitless .
Kaliyan's upadEsam here is the worship of the Lord's BhAgavathAs.
 
Bhagavath bhakthi devoid of Bhagavatha bhakthi is
svaroopa viruddham (Contrary to one's svaroopam
as a sesha- bhUthan, the servant of the Lord ) . Therefore ,
it is important to please those dear to the Lord so that the Lord
Himself will be pleased . Kaliyan is following here the upadEsam of
Swamy NammAzhwAr captured in his "NedumArkkadiamai " and
" Payilum SudaroLi " Paasurams .  Kaliyan has also his own pathikam of
ten paasurams ( ThirucchERai Paasurams : Periya Thirumozhi : 7.4 ) ,
which are known as his " NedumARkkadimai " Paasurams . Here are
some excerpts from the ThirucchERai Paasurams , which bring out
the importance of the adoration of the BhagavathAs by us :  
 
1 ) ThaNNsERai EmperumAn thALL thozhuvAr KaaNNmin
      yenn talai mElArE --- Periya Thirumozhi ( PT) : 7.4.1
      ( adiyEn will prove to you that the sacred feet of those
         BhAgavathAs , who worship the Lord at His cool dhivya
         dEsam of ThirucchERai , will be found on the top of my head ) .
 
2) EmpermAn thALL thozhuvAr yeppozhuthum yenn manatthE
     irukkinRArE --- PT : 7.4.2 ( Such BhaagavathAs , who worship
     Lord SaaranAthan are always  residing in my mind ) .
 
3) They are greater than Nithya Sooris and therefore deserve to
     be worshipped ( pOthodu punal thUvum PuNNIyarE ViNNavaril
     polihinRArE -- PT 7.4.3) .
 
4) adiyEn will never seperate from these BhAgavathAs , who recite
    the Sahasra Naamams of the Lord of ThirucchERai ( PErALan
    pErOthum periyOrai orukAlum pirihilEnE ---PT: 7.4.4).
 
5) " yenn IyaaRivium koNDAnukku AaLAnArkku aaLAm yenn anpu thAnE"
       ----PT 7.4.7 ( My mind is slave to those , who recognize that the Lord
       of ThirucchERai is the One , who controls and stills the chEshtais
       of the mischief making Cognitive senses ) .
 
6) In the 8th Paasuram of ThirucchERai , Kaliyan states clearly that
    those worshipping the BhagavathAs of the Lord will not be touched by
    Yama dharman and as a result , these fortunate ones will never see
    the inside of hell ( vemm KooRRam uNNAthu ) ; the ever spreading
    sins of the SamsAric world will not touch those , who worship the Lord's
    BhAgavathAs ( Jn~Anis) .
 
From what he elaborated about the BhagavathAs in his ten ThirucchERai
Paasurams , Kaliyan summarizes that in one line of his SiRu PuliyUr Paasuram :
" SiRu PuliyUr chala sayanam Thozhum neermai athu udayAr thuyar ilar " .     
( Those MahAns  , whose jeevanam is the worshipping of the Lord of SiRu
PuliyUr  have the power to remove all the samsAra bheehti of people ,
who prostrate before them . Those MahAns save the people from entering
into various narakams ( " NandhA nedu narakatthu idai naNuhA vahai "
seyhiRArkaL ) .
