thiruvallikkENi - 8-B (periya thirumozhi)

[Guest guest]

Hello,

This is the second pAsuram from periya thirumozhi. This talks about

the greatness of the women living in thiruvallikkENi in the last

line (One of the bhakti-list member, Smt. VaidhEhi is from

thiruvallikkENi. She would feel very happy that thirumaN^gai AzhwAr

has sung about them :-)

vedhaththai - The One who Himself is the vEdha (vEdha svarUpi)

 

vEdhaththin suvaip payanai - The One who is the fruit of the Knowledge of vedhas

(suvai - taste, payan - the end result/ fruit)

 

vizhumiya munivargaL vizhuNGgum kOdhu il in kaniyai -

The one who is like the 'flawless' fruits eaten by the great sages.

 

(vizhumiya - The great, those who have achieved great things..

munivargaL- sages, vizhuNGgum - to eat, in => iniya = sweet, kani - fruit)

(kOdhu il -could have a better meaning than just 'flawless'!, My limited

knowledge just halts there..)

 

n^an^dhanaark kaLiRRai - The One who was born -like a baby elephant- to

n^an^dhagOpan

(kaLiRu - elephant. sri aNNaN^garAchAr swAmy says, Elephant is an animal which

you will never feel satisfied of seeing. You would like to see it again and

again..)

 

kuvalayaththOr thozhudhu Eththum - The One who is prayed by the people in the

world

(kuvalayam - earth, thozhudhu - to pray)

 

Adhiyai - The One who is the creator of the universe, the very First one.

 

amudhai - The One who is The nectar

 

ennai ALudai appanai - The One to whom i am a slave

 

oppavar illA mAdhargaL vAzhum mAda mAmayilai thiruvallikkENi kaNdEnE

 

I (the AzhwAr) had the blessing of such a Lord's dharshan at Triplicane

(thiruvallikkENi), which boasts of having incomparably great women living

there!!
