The sound of
Wealth
What is wealth for an agriculturist? Apart
from the yield,the flowers, the scent, the nectar and the honey are all
wealth.
Can we believe that these were flowing
unhindered in thirunAngUr?
In vaikuntha viNNagaram, the lotus and
sen-kazhunEr flowers were overflowing with the nectar and honey. This kept the
tillers busy as ever. The overflowing liquid was trying to flow out of the
borders and the farmer goes and blocks in one side. The next time the flow is on
another direction. Immediately he rushes to the other side. This goes on and on,
reflecting the rich wealth of ths dhivya dhEsam.
This is what is told in the
pAsuram
"...mARADha malar kamalam
senkazhunEr thadhumbi, madhu veLLam vozhuga,
vayal vuzhavar madai
adaippa, mARADha selvam vaLaru maNi nAngUr vaikuntha
viNNagaram
vaNangu mada nenjEA"
3-9-8;
When the flow exceeds bounds, one person
shouts " Hey! it is going out of control" and the
boundry is closed. The next somebody else shouts "
Now, it is coming over this side" and that side is closed. Thus, this din
goes on conveying the richness.
This sound is described by sri periya
vAchAn piLLai as
"angEa vudaindhadhu
kiDAi, ingEa vudaindhadhu kidAi, sahyaperukkidAi enRu kUppidugiRa AravAramEyAik
kidakkumAyiRRu"
