nAcciyAr tirumozhi - I - kAmanai vENDudal.

pASuram 10 - karuppu vil malaRkkaNai.

 

A. Translation from SrImAn SaDagopan's tamizh treatise.

 

In the last pASuram of nAcciyAr tirumozhi - I, gOdai presents all the

mangaLams that will arise out of reciting the ten pASurams sung in an

attempt to get kAmadEvan's help in reaching her Lord:

 

karuppu vil malarkkaNaik kAma vELaik

kazhaliNai paNindu angOr kari alaRa

maruppinai oSittup puL vAi piLanda

maNi vaNNaRku ennaii vaguttiDu enRu

poruppanna mADam polindu tOnRum

puduvaiyar kOn viTTu cittan godai

viruppuDai in tamizh mAlai vallAr

viNNavar kOn aDi naNNuvarE

 

ANDAL declares that those who understand the meanings of, and recite,

these ten pASurams wherein she appeals to manmathan to unite her with

kaNNan, will reach nAyakan nArAyaNan's SrI vaikhunTham and indulge in

His kaimkarya sAmrAjyam. These are the pASurams through which she worshiped

manmathan who has the sugar cane bow and the flower arrows as his weapons

to unite her with her Lord who slayed the big elephant named kuvalayApeeDam in

front of kamsan's palace, and who tore open bakAsuran's mouth. godai,

the daughter of vishNu citta, the foremost of those from SrIvilliputtUr,

says that those who recite these pASuram-s will be blessed with the bhAgyam

to be united with Him in SrivaikunTham and perform nitya kaimkaryam to Him

for ever.

 

 

B. Some additional thoughts:

 

The motivation for godai to praise manmathan's bow and arrow arises from

her meditation on bhagavAn's bows and arrows - "Sarngam ennum

villANDAn" (tiruppallANDU-12) and "SarangaL ANDa taN tAmaraik

kaNNanukku anRi en manam tAzhndu nillAdu" (periya tirumozhi 7-3-4).

Unlike godai, who, though born of sAtvika periyAzhwAr, ends up falling

at the feet of kAman, those who learn this prabhandam will be relieved

of samsAram and get to enjoy nityAnubhavam along with nityasUris. [srI
