My dear Sri Ranagaswamy :

Thanks very much for your  brilliant and spontanous response to the coverage 
of the 9th Paasuram of Thirumangai . I am happy to  share your observations 
with the list .

There are many praMANams to AzhwAr's anubhavam
from VedAs and Upanishads to establish our tradition as
Ubhaya VedAntham .

The additional aspect is the last of the AzhwArs,"  Kadai Kutti "
Kaliyan derived so much spiritual support from the dhivya Prabhandhams
of the AzhwArs who preceded him that one hears often the echos of
their Prabhandham passages in Kaliyan's Prabhandhams . Reference to Swamy 
NammAzhwAr's paasurams is partcularly frequent and captivating .

I will write about them in the future .

With best wishes ,
V.Sadagopan

>>Arul Maa Kadal of  Thiru SiRu Puliyoor Dhivya Desam 
>>*******************************************************************
>>In the ninth Paasuram , Kaliyan suggests that he parted
>>company with the charming ladies known for their beauty
>>( Malark-kaNNAr MadavAr ) because of his unquenchable
>>love for the Dhivya MangaLa vigraham of the Lord , which
>>is the bhOga sthAnam for MahA Lakshmi :
>>
>>Karu Maa muhil UruvA ! Kanal UruvA ! Punal UruvA !
>>Peru-mAl varai uruvA ! PiRa uruvA ! ninathu uruvA !
>>ThirumAmahaL Maruvum SiRu PuliyUr Sayanatthu
>>Aru-mA-kadal-amudhE ! unathadiyE SaraNAmE
>>
>>(Meaning ) : Oh Lord with a body having the hue of a large ,
>>dark  rainy season 's cloud ! Oh Lord who is the antharyAmi
>>of Agni ! Oh BhagavAn having water ( Jalam ) as Your body !
>>Oh Prabhu with gigantic mountains as Your Sareeram !
>>Oh Lord dwelling inside Vaayu as its antharyAmi Brahman !
>>Oh Lord known for Your uniquely auspicious ThirumEni ,
>>which is amenable for meditation (SubhAsraya ThirumEni) !
>>Oh Nectar , who arose out of  a rare and huge ocean
>>and who is enjoyed with great love by MahA Lakshmi ! Your
>>sacred feet alone are my UpAyam and UpEyam ( Means
>>and goal for the PurushArTam of MOksham ) .
>>
>>Special Notes :
>>********************
>>In this Paasuram , Kaliyan recognizes  the Lord as the antharyAmi
>>( indweller ) of pancha bhuthams like Agni ( Kanal UruvA ) , Vaayu .
>>AakAsam , Earth , appu ( Punal UruvA ) and of achEthanams like
>>the mountains ( Peru Maal varai UruvA ) ; Kaliyan also compares Him
>>with some objects like the dark  , bluish-black cloud of  the rainy season 
>>!
>>He is not only the antharyAmi of some vasthus but also resembles them .
>>Kaliyan enjoys the Lord's own , unmatched SubhAsra ThirumEni ( Ninathu
>>UruvA ) . Since The EmperumAn of SiRu PuliyUr is enjoyed in so many
>>ways , He becomes the nectar arising out of a rare ocean .
>>
>>The limitless auspicous attributes of the Lord's ThirumEni (Sacred body)
>>is referred to in this Paasuram as " Karu Maa Muhil UruvA " . The 
>>manifestation
>>of the JagadhAdhAra tatthvam ( being the foundation of the world) is 
>>recognized
>>as " Kanal UruvA ". Alternatively , for His enemies , His body is a 
>>scorching one
>>like Agni . For His devotees , His body is cool and comforting like a cool 
>>pond
>>( Punal Uru) . His ease of access by all and simplicity  inspite of His 
>>unamtched
>>greatness are characterized by HIs  Soulabhya and Souseelya GuNams .These
>>noble traits are saluted with the name of  " PiRa uruvA " . The fact that 
>>His body
>>alone has Subham + aasrayathvam ( SubhAsrayam ) is saluted by Kaliyan as
>>" Ninathu UruvA " . The PirAtti at SiRu PuliyUr has the name of 
>>ThirumAmahaL .
>>She sits on the vast and beautiful chest of the Lord and enjoys Her union
>>with Him immensely . He Himself arose out of a rare and gigantic ocean as
>>the nectar like His PirAtti rose from the Milky Ocean as " PeNNamuthu ".
>>He is the Amudhu , AarAvamudhu . He is the nectar , which arose out of
>>the Para VAsudEva roopam . This nectar enjoys the other nectar that
>>arose from the milky ocean during the churning of it by Himself .
>>
>>Thirumangai performs his SaraNAgathy to the dhivya Dampathis of
>>SiRu PuliyUr with the submission : " Unathu adiyE SaraNAmE " .
>>AdiyEn has no gathi other than You . " Puhal onRumilA adiyEn
>>Ninnadi puhunthEnE " . Your sacred Thiruvadi is both UpAyam
>>and UpEyam for adoiyEn .
>>
>>Paasuram : 7.9.10 ( Phala Sruthi Paasuram)
>>********************************************************
>>SeerAr nedumaRuhil SiRu PuliyUr Chala Sayanatthu
>>yErAr muhil VaNNan tanai ImayOr PerumAnai
>>kArAr Vayal Mangaikku iRai Kaliyan oli mAlai
>>PaarAr ivai paravit-thozhap-pAvam payilAvE
>>
>>( Meaning) : SiRu PuliyUr dhivya dEsam has long and beautiful
>>streets and is filled with all kinds of wealth ( Iswaryam) . Kaliyan
>>is the Lord of the city state of Thirumangai known for its fertile
>>paddy fields looking dark because of the density of the crops .
>>Kaliyan of Thirumangai has presented the auspicious sound
>>garlands to the Lord of SiRu PuliyUr , who is the Lord of
>>the eternally liberated Jeevans ( Nithya Sooris ) . When one
>>learns and uses these Paasurams of Kaliyan for worshipping
>>the Lord of SiRu PuliyUr , their sins will be destroyed and Narakams
>>will not enter into their lives . The Lord will grant them the boon of
>>" Narkatthinidai NaNuhAmal irukkum " status. Narakams will be far away
>>for them due to the grace of Moksha DhAyaka Mukundhan .
>>"  yErAr Muhil VaNNan "  ( One with the beautiful hue of the Rainy
>>season Clouds) , who is the " ImayOr Talaivan " ( Nithya Soori Naathan )
>>that responds to the tender appeal  of Kaliyan's Paasurams and grants
>>the reciters the boons of  freedom from sins and " PiRavAmai " ( 
>>Moksham ).
>>
>>adiyEn enjoyed the visit to ThirumAmahal samEtha Sri Baala RanganAthan's
>>sannidhi at SiRu PuliyUr with the sweet sound  of Kaliyan oli Malai 
>>ringing
>>in my ears . Hope You did too !
