The Greatness of Sri
Periya vAchAn piLLai
The words "ANDAi
vunnai-k kANBadhOAr aruL enakkaruLudhiyEAl--VEANDEAn manai-vAzhk-kaiyai viNNagar
mEAyavanEA" is repeated in the nine pAsuram-s of the first thiru-mozhi of
the sixth ten.
However, Sri Periya-vAchAn piLLai does not
just mention that AzhwAr wants to convey his longingness towards the Lord and
disinterest in this worldly attachments. He gives vyAkyAnam as per the context
of each pAsuram.
1. The first
pAsuram:
ANDAi
--Even when I was having interest in other matters, Oh! Lord You were
taking care of my welfare.
vunnai-k...--Having strived on me for such a long
time, You should shower Your grace on me to reap the
results.
vEaNDEAn---Oh! Lord, be assured that it is not like
earlier days where I was interested in this samsAram. Please note that that I am
indifferent towards samsaram and interested in YOu.---Text :"innamum ivanukku samsAra vAsanai kazhindhadhillai" enRu irukka
vEANDA;enakku lOka yAthraiyil ruchi illAmaiyai thiru-vuLLam paRRa
vEANum.
Second pAsuram: The second pAsuram talks about
the divine act of the Lord in churning the ocean and reclaiming periya
pirATTi.
Accordingly Sri Periya VAchAn piLLai
:
ANDAi....---
'achEArthiyil nAn
kaNDanubhavikkum padi en pakkalilEa kripaiyai paNNi aruLudhiyAgil, aththEva
jAdhi vunnai-koNDu pUN kaTTik koLLugiRa samsAra yAthraiyai
vEANDEAn;
Third
pAsuram:ANDAi --- Oh! Lord do not
leave me with the bad name of immersing myself in this samsAram. Kindly bestow
me with Your grace to remove the swarUpa virOAdhi and act in tandem with the
true nAture of this jEvAthmA.
Fourth
pAsuram: This pAsuram talks about the Lord swallowing one and all and
lying on a small leaf.
ANDAi---
Oh! Lord, You need not do any such GReat deeds for me. It is enough if YOu grace
me a way to reach You.
