SrI  UpakAra  Sangraham - III (12)

niryANa adikAram

 Section - 10: SrI NammAzhvAr reveals all these so far described, in the first 
verse of his work, Thiruviruttham.
---- 
        After listing out all the favours the Lord does to a jIva from the 
beginning till he attains His abode and enjoys the full and perfect Bliss equal 
to Himself, SwAmi Desikan now gives an introduction before taking up his 
commentary on the first verse in the Thiruviruttham of SrI NammAzhvAr in this 
section:
        ippadi nammudaiya apEkShA-nirapEkShamakath thannudaiya 
sva-buddhi-adheenmAna sahakAri-viSEsha-sahita-sambandh-guNviSEshangkaLAlE munbu

Meaning:
        Thus, the Supreme Lord, the Consort of SrI, has done a series of 
favours to us in the absence of any plea from us; purely out of His helping 
nature and perhaps due to the eternal relationship that exists with us. This 
resulted in the development of a desire for liberation that leads to the 
ultimate aim of rendering divine service to the Lord unrestricted either by 
place or time. Being such one, SrI NammAzhvAr who has been blessed with the 
j~nAna-bhakti faculty by the Lord of the blemish-less eternal devotees, begins 
to submit his plea for further favours, in the first verse of his work, 
Thiruviruttham, the first of his four compositions, which are but out-flow of 
his own experience. This he does keeping in mind the favours done by the Lord 
earlier. The first verse is:
 âpoinninRa j~nAnamum pollA ozhukkum azhukkudambum
  inninRa neermai iniyAmuRAmai uyiraLippAn
  enninRa yOniyumAi piRanthAi! imaiyOr thalaivA!
  meininRu kEttaruLAi adiyEn ceyyum viNNappamE.â
