Dearest all,
Thus He has entered into my eyes, and in order to let
such people like me to praise Him, enjoy Him and utter
His divine name with saliva laden mouth, He has come
here at Srirangam and is showing Himself so
gracefully. Now I am blessed to enjoy seeing that with
my pair of eyes- says AzhwAr.
irumpanan RuNta neerum
pOtharum koLka, enRan

ananRu irumbu uNda neerum- even the water that is
absorbed by the hot iron
podharum- does not go waste; It yields results
koLga- there is no doubt about it; let me explain.
enthan ? my
arumpiNi paavam ellaam- all cruel sins that would give
rise to karmic diseases (have all disappeared and
burnt to ashes)
en kaNN iNai- my pair of eyes
surumbamar solai soozhndha ? the bee humming
garden-filled and surrounded
arangam ? Srirangam divya desam (in that)
maa koil koNda- considering this as the most important
and main temple
karumbinai- the sweetest Lord Ranganathan(who is like
the sugarcane)
kaNdu koNdy kaLikkum aaRu- enjoy seeing Him (in front
of my eyes)
I drank the Lord who came and entered into my eyes
with His abhaya mudrA. I thought that would disappear
like the water that is sprinkled on the hot iron;
Instead, it stayed and did lot of other things as
well. It has burnt all my paapams. All my karmic
diseases have been burnt to ashes. The paapams were so
huge that they could have given me diseases for very
many births and ages. All of them have been burnt.
Immediately, I am not getting a great urge to see Him
in front of my eyes physically; the dirty, filthy
body, saliva ? all those thinking has gone; I want to
see Him in this most beautiful garden filled Srirangam
divya desam. He is so sweet like the sugarcane. He has
(on His own accord) considered this place as His
permanent place to stay. My pair of eyes enjoy seeing
Him here. My eyes have begun to enjoy this most
beautiful form here in Srirangam.
The heated iron when water is sprinkled on it- absorbs
the water; Thought the water disappears; But it is not
going away; It does have an effect on iron and it does
some chemistry. Not I understand similarly the Lord
who has entered into my eyes have had such an enormous
effect in me who is like the heated iron, burning and
scorching with thaapa thraya. All such thapathraya and
the sins have now been destroyed like the water that
takes away the Heat from iron. Now my Athma enjoys the
Lord after all the dirt has been removed. AzhwAr can
be compared to water as well. Thus the water (i.e.
myself) is not going away or perishing. The water is
being used.
Sri Satakopan Swami?s comments: Here the Azhwar
describes his experience after the Lord appeared to
him as he closed his eyes in fear. He says that he
"devoured " the beauty of the Lord, who showed up
inside his closed eyelids. He confesses that he was
afraid that the appearance of the Lord would
evaporate and disappear like the water ,when hot iron
is dipped into it .Instead, he says that the "hot and
thrilling "experience of the Lord's appearance inside
his closed eyelids stayed there and caused the utter
destruction of his ancient sins. The queasy thought
of his unfitness to utter the Lord's name
disappeared.
He says that a great desire rose inside him to open
his eyes and enjoy the beauty of the Lord of
Srirangam. He says that his sins were gone now and
that he became engaged in the delectable experience of
tasting the physical beauty of Lord Ranganatha.
