Guest guest Posted March 22, 1997 Report Share Posted March 22, 1997 Dear friend, I know this is an age-old, much-examined query but there is no harm in revisiting it just to test the temperature of the waters of the present times!! Here it is : Why is that no single AzhwAr deigned to sing a "pAsuram" on our Lord Varadarajan !? It never ceases to intrigue me that Tirumazhisai, who is believed to have lived in Kanchi and who made "sonna-vannam seyUm perumal" into a great and popular legend for us for all times to come, never chose to sing about Lord Varada !! I have heard before many stories and explanations -- some very fanciful ones, too -- for this glaring "lapse/ommission" on the part of "AzhwArs"; but I would like to hear what learned scholars on the list think about it. There are a lot of "ex-Kanchi vAsi-s" too on the list who I think can help, can't they ? sudarshan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 1997 Report Share Posted March 22, 1997 Dear Sudarshan, aazhvaars have in fact sung of our Lord Varadaraja! Here are two by bhoothath aazhvaar (irandaam thiruvandhaadhi): ennenca mEyaan_en senniyaan, thaanavanai vannencaNG keeNda maNivaNNan, munnamsEy ooziyaa Nnoozi peyartthaan, ulakEtthum aaziyaan atthiyoo raan. 95 atthiyoo raanpuLLai yoorvaan, aNimaNiyin thutthisEr naakatthin mElthuyilvaan, - mootthee maRaiyaavaan maakadaln^aNY suNdaan Ranakkum iRaiyaavaan engaL piraan. (2) 96 There may be others -- I have to consult my Divya Desam book. Mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
