?Arththu vandalambum sOlai ani thiruvaranganthannul

kArthiral anaiya mEni kannanE! VunnaikkAnum

mArkkamondru ariya mAttA manisaril thurisanAya

moorkanEn vandhu nindrEn moorkanEn moorkanEnE?

 

Arththu vandalambum sOlai ani thiruvaranganthannul: The gardens in Srirangam 
are filled with bees. The bees are filled with happiness and they fly from one 
place to other making humming noise(reengAram). As we have alreadyseen the 
alwars always have the habit of singing about each and every thing in a divya 
desam considering it to be divine. If Thirumangai alwar goes to arimEya 
vinnagaram then sees the birds and listening to their voice he says they are 
telling ?Hari! Sharan!?. Andal goes to thiruvarangam and says ?Kootil erundhu 
kili govinda! Govinda! Endrazhaikkum?. The mentalstate of alwars are such that 
they consider each and every thing in a divya desam to be a bhAgavatan. 
Actually even to be born in a divyadesam kOdi jenma punyam is required so there 
is nothing wrong to sing about the birds and bees which have the same. Alwar 
says ?ani thiruvaranganthannul? here thiruvarangam itself is a ani for our 
bharatha varsham and for each and every srivaishnava or for thiruvarangam 
ranganatha is an ani(jewel). Sri PVP?s vyakhyAnam goes as follows:

?kOyililE vandhu sannihithan allAdha pOdhu thAli kattAdha srigal pOl ayittru 
leelA vibhuthi?

Any lady has her value only when she bears the thirumangalyam in her neck. 
Without that a women is barren according to our culture. Similarly when 
emperuman is not present in Srirangam the whole leela vibhuthi is consideredto 
be a women without the mangalya sootram. A women can be without anyother jewel 
but never without her mangalyam. Only when she is eligible to wear the 
mangalyam all other jewels adds to her beauty. Similarly only when emperuman 
lies in Srirangam, does the leela vibhuthi becomes beautiful and is also 
eligible to wear any other jewel.

 

kArthiral anaiya mEni kannanE!: The color of emperuman?s body is like the dark 
rain flooded clouds. Like the cloud which showers us with good rain and makes 
our lands fertile emperuman also showers his apara karunyam and make our lives 
flourish. But then when he equated the clouds to perumal,alwar suddenly 
remembers that emperuman?s magimai is greater than the clouds. So Sri PVP 
writes, ?mEgaththai kAttilum vyAvriththi?. The clouds do give us rain, but from 
a distance and then it vanishes. But emperumandoes more than that. He showers 
his karunai not like a third person but he runs and comes to our rescue. When 
we want he appears in front of us dueto his sowlabhyam. Kannan means not only 
does he have an eye which is cool and showers krupai on his devotees but also 
he makes the eyes of those who are looking at him to become cool. But then how 
to have his darshan?

 

VunnaikkAnum mArkkamondru ariya mAttA manisaril thurisanAya: As soon as alwar 
thought of having darshan of emperuman he is unable to find a way to do so. So 
now he feels for the same saying I am one low person who doesn?t know the way 
in which I will be able to have your darshan. If I have a low birth as an 
animal or plant I may not be able to see you but then thoughI am a man still I 
am incapable to find a way to see you. You are waitingto give darshan to your 
bhakthas. But I do not have full faith or devotion in you, says alwar.

 

Then why don?t you just go away instead of standing in my sannadhi? asked 
Perumal.

 

moorkanEn vandhu nindrEn moorkanEn moorkanEnE: Just because I am standing in 
front of Perumal?s sannadhi doesn?t mean that I am a great bhakthan. I have 
come here due to my stubbornness. I very well know that I am not eligible to 
see perumal but then still I want to see him. Alwar calls himself to be a 
moorkan-one who wants to get a thing which he very well knowsis beyond his 
capacity. Since I am a moorkan I come and stand in front ofyou. Even after 
coming here still I remain a moorkan declares alwar (moorkanEn moorkanEnE).
