venjina mUkkarindha
Sri bhattar's role
reversed.
It has been often observed that the
clarification is sought from sri bhattar.
Here is a very rare reference to sri
bhattar seeking clarification.
In this pAsuram, the thAyar of parkAla
nAyaki is haunted by the fact of sUrpanakA who was attracted by sri rAmA losing
one of her features. This is understood from the words
"anjuvan venjol nangAi
arakkar kulapppAvai thannai,
ven-sina mUkkarindha viralOn
thiRam kEAtkil.." 3-7-3;
Sri bhattar questions, ' if the thAyar
fears that her daughter will also land up in the fate of sUrpanAkA and if this
is in fact the fear, then is it not a defect on the auspicious quality of the
LOrd?'
For this sri AchAn piLLai says "thuduppu irukka kai vEga vEANumOA!?emperumAnAr thAmEA aruLich seidhu vaithArirEa"
Why should one struggle, when there is a
ready made answer already given by emperumAnAr.
Well, earlier when sUrpanAkA's nose was
cut (cut to size?), it ended up in sri rAmA and sEtha getting
separated.
It should be thus understood that thAyAr
does not fear any mishap to parkAlA nAyaki from the Lord
but fears such an
event going by the epic.That is what is meant by AzhwAr in this
pAsuram:
anjuvan-arakkar kulap
pAvai-mUkkarindha viralOan thiRam kEatkil
