Will they reach
thiru-vAli or not?
It was seen earlier -kaLvan kol?-that the Lord of thiru-vAli had taken parakAla
nAyaki alongwith Him. The mother was looking aghast.
Now doubt and fear has arisen in the mind
of thAyAr-mother of parkAla nAyaki, whether they will reach thiru-vAli or get
distracted enroute.
Here a comparison with thiru-k-kOLUr
pAsuram of thiru-voi-mozhi is drawn by our AchAryAs.(vunnum
sORu 6-7)
There, sri nam-AzhwAr -parAnkusa nAyaki
leaves for thirukkOLur, alone, without anybody's escort or company. However, the
mother determines and is confident that she will definitely reach her
destination. These are very clear from the words "thiNNam en
iLamAn pugum vUr thiuru-k-kOLUrEA" thiru-voi-mozhi 6-7-1;(certainly my
young girl will reach thiru-k-kOLUr)
In contrast the mother of parkAla nAyaki
expresses concern which is clear from the words " aNi Ali
puguvar kolO?" 3-7-1;
In the case of nam-AzhwAr, since AzhwAr
goes alone, she is undisturbed, without any distraction, single minded purpose,
undivided and unfettered goal and hence the confidence that she will reach the
divya-dEsam is attained by the mother.(though AzhwAr is not in the company of
Almighty)
Here on the
contrary, since AzhwAr and perumAL are in the company of each other, the fear
psychosis arises. The fact that sEthA pirAtti gets separated when they were in
the exile also haunts the mind. Moreover, each other may get involved in their
beauty, thus oblviating themselves the danger of the
environment.
Thus though they both go together and
parakAla nAyaki goes with the company of the Lord Almighty, this lingering fear
that they lose their composure and complacence due to attraction of each other
and get distracted, is the premise for this alarm.
Therefore,
this doubt is raised in each pAsuram 'aNi ali puguvar
kolO!"
" aNi Ali
puguvar kolO!"
