nAcciyAr tirumozhi - II - ciRRil cidaiyEl.

pAsuram 2.5 (second tirumozhi - pAsuram 5 veLLai nuN maNal)

 

A. Translation from SrImAn SaDagopan's tamizh treatise.

 

Oh mischievous mAdhava! kESava! Even though you are destroying the beautiful

designs we made in the streets with white-hued silt, and even though we may

feel sad about it, we will not get angry with you. When we think of looking

at your eyes with anger, we become absorbed with the beauty of your eyes and

forget our anger, with our hearts melting with love for you. The eyes you

have on your face are not normal eyes! How can we get infuriated with you

after we see your wonderful eyes?

B. Some additional thoughts:

 

The words "vicittirapppaDa nA~ngaL izhaitta" from ANDAL indicate that

she is thinking of His vicittiram of creation etc. (Do you think You are

the only one who can do this vicittiram? We can do, too.) The reference to

"un mugattana kaNgal allavE" suggests that ANDAL is asking Him why He is

not enjoying the beauty of her wonderful creation (ciRRil) but instead,

destroying it. SrI PVP also explains that His are not normal eyes like

others', but these are the eyes that hook anyone to Him and make them

fall at His feet. He gives reference to nAcciAr tirumozhi 14-4, which

we will see later - kamalak kaN ennum neDum kayiRu - His eyes are like

the rope which drag His devotee to Him.
