Dearest Sisters and brothers,

 

Yet another enjoyment dosage of adaikkalappatthu. This prabhandham is

Re cap: Meaning from Sri SadagOpan's excellent post:

 

Quote:

I have joined without fail the majestic and glorious feet of the Lord ,

who is never separated from His beloved consort. He has the most

bewitching beauty. He is an ocean of mercy . His dayA for His devotees

is unmatched. He is omniscient . He is easy of access to His devotees .

He has the chEthanAs and achEthanmas as His body . He is the supreme

Lord of all of this universe .He is the one , who creates , protects and

destroys all of this world and its beings . These auspicious attributes

will never part company with the Lord . I have now joined with this

PeraruLALan of such anantha kalyANa guNa vaibhavam .

The last line in this prabhandham "ambena naan amizhndhEnE" - is simply

beautiful. "I have joined now with Him like an arrow that has penetrated

into the target right at the centre and stuck there fully immersed in

the target itself, without any possibility of getting separated or

removed from it at all. (which is Sri varadhan- PerarauLALan)."

 

This line "ambene naan amizhndhEnE- it is told- is mentioned in the

Veda. (Which one- I don't know).

 

PraNavO dhanu: sarO hyAthmA brahma thallakshyamucchyathE/

ApramatthEna vEddhavyam saravatthanmayO bhavEth//

 

A warrior locks the bow, holds the arrow and aims with fullest

concentration, at the target, and shoots, It goes with the necessary

required right amount of force straight into the target and hits. This

is compared to prapatthi or saranAgathy in the above two lines. PraNavam

is the bow. JIvan is the arrow. Brahmaam (Sriya: pathih Sriman

Narayanan) is the Goal. With fullest concentration, if it is aimed, the

jIvan is destined to enter into Him. That is why "ambena naan

amizhndhEnE" (This was written in a small booklet on adaikkalappatthu -

a release by Lifco in 1989 in celebration of Swami Desikan's 722nd

Thirunakshathram (in 1989).)
