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 67th verse of Tiruviruttham Let us continue to enjoy. kaaviyum nIlamum vElum kayalum palapalavenRu, aaviyin thanmai aLavalla paarippu, asurarseRRa maaviyam puLvalla maadhavan gOvindhan vEngadamsEr thUviyam pEdaiyan NnaaL,kaNga Laaya thuNaimalarE. 67 The friend [of the our naayakan] tells our naayakan [hero] ?you have never ever felt so depressed and your mind which is ever firm- is now caught and captivated by this girl?s enchanting beautiful eyes. How does he lose himself at those darting, beautiful eyes ? explains the man to his friend is the basis of this verse. The girl- whom I have seen at ThiruvEnkatam- even my life is not equal to the beauty of her eyes. Her eyes alone are enough for drinking my life and taking it away. This is what the naayakan says: Emperumaan Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan rides on the most strongest divine Garuda bird and destroys the asura clan. His divine name is Maadhavan [meaning: LakshmI nAthan and the One who is always with SrI; SrI Nivaasan]; Isn?t He Govindhan who reared the cattle? This Lord?s residence ? ThiruvEnkatam is where my beloved girl lives in. She is beautiful like a swan and her pair of eyes is like the two lotus flowers- I would say. Her eyes even conquer effortlessly the blue hued neydhal flowers; the red lily; the spears, the beautiful fishes, the deer?s eyes etc.. These darting eyes torture my soul and win over me. She does not have to take this much effort to destroy me and drink my life with her beautiful eyes. Inner meaning: Bhaagawathas describe the jnAna and greatness of Sri NammAzhwAr. Thoovi ampaedai annaal- He is pristinely pure like the swan;- suddha satthva thirumEni; jnAna, anushtAnam are both important for SadAcharya; NammAzhwAr shines with both jnAnam and ansuhtAnam. kaNN kaaviyai veldhal- jnAnam conquers rajO guNa; neelam- jnAnam conquers thamO guNa; vEl- spear- jnAnam conquers sattva guNa and is resplendent with suddha sattvam. Kayal- fish- He has conquered the fickle mind [sanchalam] and shines with parama vairAgyam.
