pOdhu? In the previous paasuram azhvar worried about others who don?t
even know to surrender to the divine feet of the almighty. But now his mood changes and he rejoices
thinking about his fortune.
?ArAnumAdhAnum seyya agalidaththai ArAindhu adhu thiruththalAvadhE?
(periya thiru 25) says nammazhvar. (tArAganap pOr viriththuraiththa vennAgaththunnai) You are the
thiruvanandhAzhvan (divine serpant on which emperuman lies) who detailed the
intricate aspects of the motion of stars through the elaborate jhotisha sastra;
Emperuman being the antaryami is called as thiruvanandhAzhvan himself
here; (tariththu) knowing; understanding; iterating
(anushandhAnam); (teriththu) Thought in the mind is the first step; first
think (ezhudhi) then write the same in
words; (vAsiththu) read those divine meanings written by self and others
and make others also do the same; (kEttum) listen to all the divine works done by the Mudal azhvars
and other mahans and make others do the
same; (vaNangi) Anyone can be a scholar but the naichyam (considering
himself to be lowly inspite of all the great talents inside) and getting rid of
ahankara and mamakara is very difficult; Now azhvar talks about sheding the ill
feelings of ego and pride and prostrating the divine feet of emperuman with the
feeling of servitude (?adhuvum avanadhu
ennarulE?) (vazhipattum poosiththum)
Doing poojas to the lord with all the 3 karanas; mano-mind, vak-speech,
kAyam-physique; (pOkkinEn pOdhu) Nothing is left to be done; even those nearby
have changed to the required level.
Whatever is done is for the very purpose of spending time while in this
world. (AgavE tariththirundhEn) thus I sustain myself in this difficult
world of samsara and attain my well-being
(saththai perugirEn). (To
Be Continued) Azhvar
