mARanil mikkum Ore dhEvum
vuLadhEA!
On the day of svAmi Nam AzvAr
thriunakshathiram- vaikAsi visAgam-learned devotees write of him in high praise
of him.
AdiyEan desired to talk about him not
about his pAsuram-s nor of his life hisotry or preachings
but
quote a pAsuram from ThriuvAimozhi
commending about svAmi Nam-AzvAr himself.
Now is this possible? one may wonder.
AzvAr praises Sriman NArAyaNa and nobody else and if any such praise showered on
oneself will only result in self praise? is it not?
Well. It is Sriman NArAyaNA the Lord
for him. Agreed. For us, Should it not be Sri Nam-AzvAr?
One of the pAsuram-s of thriuvAimzohi sung
by satakhOpan exalts EmperumAn and declares that is there any other Lord other
than Him.
The same pAsuram read on a different angle
talks high of AzvAr himself. Indeed this is great and we should accept this in
toto as if EmperumAn who has crept into AzvAr's heart has spelt out these
words.
This is from thiruvAimozhi 2-2-3 pAsuram
and the final lines are
"mAl thanil mikkumOre dhEvum
vuLadhEa'
However, on the joining of the first two
words the 'l' in the 'mAl' becomes 'R' and becomes
'mARanil mikkum Ore dhEvum
vuLadhEa'
This words 'mAl
thanil ' can be noted in the text of PuthUr svAmi of aruLich
cheyal
the words mARAnil can be obeserved in the text given in the
vyAkyAnam of PuthUr svAmi.
The point here is this is an incidental
pun - not intended by AzvAr but perhaps inteneded by EmepurmAn
Himself.
As Sri Madhura Kavi points out
Is there any other Lord for us other than
the one blessed by EmperumAn-Sri Nam-AzvAr-dhEvu
mathARiyEan
and that is here right from the
thriuvAimozhi-p pAsuram
mARanil mikkum Ore dhEvum
vuLadhEa!
