SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all After Nammazhwar anubhavams of Thiruvaymozhi [on Thiruvenkatamudaiyaan], let us take up his other works namely Tiruviruttham and Periya anthAthi. Today?s verse on ThiruvEnkatam from this wonderful work is the 50th verse of Tiruviruttham Let us continue to enjoy. oNNuthal maamai oLipaya vaamai, viraindhun^anthEr naNNuthal vENdum valava! kadaakinRu, thEnn^avinRa vaNmuthal naayagan nILmudi veNmuththa vaasigaiththaay maNmudhal sErvuRRu, aruvisey yaan^iRkum maamalaikkE. 50 The naayakan comes back to see his beloved naayaki and while coming, rushes the charioteer. He addresses as below: Oh Sarathy! My dear charioteer! Please drive our chariot quick.. and fast. The most beautiful faced my beloved thalaivi is waiting and longing; before her colour becomes pale and the ?pasalai: [languishing and longing disease] conquers her, let us reach her and we need to go there. Rush and drive fast. Where- are you asking? The huge mountain ? Thirumalai.. That?s where you need to drive to. There bees hum singing. Like the pearl garland that adorns His Crown, the crystal clear water stream flows down from this mountain in pure white form. To such a great mountain, drive the chariot? and quick. Inner meaning: AzhwAr ? who longs and languishes for uniting with the Lord is suffering from the pangs of separation. The Bhaagawathas realizing the same, rushes the AzhwAr and addresses others to rush the AzhwAr to the Lord of ThiruvEnkatam? as the Lord is also longing to see AzhwAr. In this verse, maamalai word meaning- the huge mountain.. does not refer directly to ThiruvEnkatam? However in the eighth verse of Thiruviruttham, thaN maamalai vEnkatam says AzhwAr. Thus he refers to the maamalai [huge mountain] to ThiruvEnkatam and that alone.. and hence it is logical ?says the vyAkhyAthA [the commentator] that this verse refers to the divine ThiruvEnkatam mountain. In the eighth verse, the male went to earn wealth. Now perhaps he is returning back now. But Azhagiya maNavaaLa jeeyer in his commentary refers this verse 'mountain' to ThirumaalirunchOlai [Madurai Azghagar kOil]. Thus AzhwAr has sung ThiruvEnkatam, Thiruve:kaa, Thiruvarangam, ThirumaalirunchOlai divya desams.
