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. Todayâ??s verse on ThiruvEnkatam from this wonderful work is the 81st verse of Tiruviruttham. [with this Thiruviruttham ThiruvEnkatam verses come to an end. There is only ONE mroe verse from Periya AnthAthi. The verses from Iraamanusa NooRanthAthi will be taken in my next series on the same.. soonest:-) ] Let us continue to enjoy the 81st verse today.... uruginRa kanmangaL mElaana Orppila raay,ivaLaip peruginRa thaayarmeyn^ nondhu peRaar_kol thuzhaaykuzhalvaayth thuRugin Rilar_thollai vEngada maattavum sUzhginRilar iruginRa thaaliva Laagam,mel laavi erikoLLavE. 81 In this verse, the friend of our Parankusa nakayi corrects her mother and cautions her not to get angry on the God for the daughterâ??s pitiable plight. The friend also advises the mother not to satisfy the demi gods and street corner deities [ellai deivam] and offer lowly stuff [like slaying of animals]. Instead utter His divine name to the Nayakiâ??s ears and she will be cured. Parankusa naayaki is thinning down thinking of her Lord all the time suffering from the pangs of separation. Her mother laments and thinks mistakenly it is due to deiva kOpam [God is angry on her] and wants to please the demi god thinking that Muruga had occupied her mind; Nayakiâ??s friend corrects the mother feeling bad for her motherâ??s wrong notion about the suffering and the incorrect remedy. Doesnâ??t her mother understand the cause for her disease? Why does she take up such negative and crude remedies and treatment on her? It will only antogonise and aggravate her illness. Didnâ??t she take birth of this nAyaki? Doesnâ??t she understand what the daughter needs? Is there no one who can adorn her tresses with thuLasi flowers that were offered to the Lord Sriman Narayana? [if they do, the illness will be cured immediately]. Donâ??t they think of taking her to ThiruvEnkatam to cure her disease? If this continues, her body will perish with the burning pangs of separation from her Lord. [their treatment would only accelerate the same]. VEnkatangaL Attavum- We will bring her to ThiruvEnkatam- why donâ??t they pray to Him [as vENduthal- prarthana]. Inner meaning: Some half baked pseudo sages seeing AzhwAr suffering and longing to unite the Lord, suggest some different crude solutions; while Bhagawathas understanding AzhwArâ??s mind, feel bad and advise for placing the Lordâ??s thuLasi on AzhwAr ThirumEni; take Him to the abode of srinivasa â?? ThiruvEnkatam etc.. EmperumAn prasaadham and Dhivya Desa vaasam alone can cure AzhwAr suffering; This verse is similar to Thiruvaymozhi 4.6 decad wherein the mother and friends suggest different treatments for Parankusa nayaki and the â??rightâ?? friend understanding Nayaki, advises them and corrects them reasoning out thus: This state has arisen because of Bhagawaan and you can do little about it; Only uttering his divine names and applying the dust from bhagawathaâ??s feet can overcome this predicament. This decad prohibits worship to any lesser devatha and exhorts one to chant Dwarakeesaâ??s Name, prostrate to His Lotus Feet; sing and dance praising His glories. He will enable one to overcome all sorrows. AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam Regards Namo Narayana dAsan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
