Thiruvaaymozhi 10.6- adhu namadhu vidhi vagaiyE

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

Our AzhwAr, right from his “poinninRa jnAnam” (in Thiruviruttham) till

last ten, was chasing Emperumaan. It is interpreted that from this ten

(now on), till the last pAsuram “avaavaRa” of 10.10, Emperumaan is now

after AzhwAr to get him to His abode.

 

Emperumaan shows Himself to AzhwAr at ThiruvaaTTaaRu and be readily

present for AzhwAr. AzhwAr now loses himself to such a Great guNA of

Emperumaan’s losing Himself to BhAgawathAs’ devotion.

 

1. Since I am blessed to be the servant of BhAgawathAs, ChakrAyudha

Emperumaan has now consented to bless me with His grace and has come all

by Himself to me. Like that He comes and graces us, is our command only.

After getting to know what is His intention one me, hereafter, I will

NEVER desire for these births and this anjnAnam anymore that leaves me

in this vast big world. Oh My mind, the One who craves for Divya dEsams!

Don’t get confused any more! Pay obeisance to ThiruvaattaaRRu

Emperumaan’s Lotus Feet and go, get enchanted by Him. (Here “adhu

namadhu vidhi vagaiyE” line appears in 2nd line of pAsuram- Poorva

AchAryALs used to interpret saying “Bhagawaan’s grace comes to us as per

our puNyam and fate”. But, when Emperumaanaar Sri RamanujAchAryA was

listening to this pAsuram and this line, he said, “ that meaning appears

to be out of place and is incongruous to the context and previous

pAsurams. This line actually should interpret as “based on what we

command (“vidhitthadhu”), Emperumaan does”. “adhu namadhu vidhivagaiyE”

means “adhu namadhu sol vagaiyE”. So Emperumaan also is scared of

disobeying BhAgawathAs’ “vidhi” (sol- command). Thus, NampiLLai narrates

in eedu. Also, Alavandhaar says “thvadheeya bhukthOjjitha sEsha bhOjinA/

thvayaa nisrushtaathma parENa yadh yadhaa/ priyENa sEnaapathinaa

nyavEdhithath/ thadhaanujaanandham udhaara veekshaNai:/ “meaning:

Emperumaan does in same fashion as to how it is requested by Senai

mudhali (VishvaksEnar).) What a PerumAL!

 

2. By paying obeisance to ThiruvaattaaRRu Emperumaan’s Lotus Feet, we

are able to get rid of this sorrowful Births. Oh Foolish mind! Didn’t

you ask what is the use of paying obeisance to His Lotus Feet? See now!

Since we sang pAsurams in praise of Him and His guNAs, our karmic

diseases have vanished and we have got Bhagavadh Sambhandham and are

blessed to obtain His grace. DID YOU REALISE THE HUGE QUANTUM OF OUR

BHAAGYAM, My Mind?

 

3. My mind! By uttering Bhagawaan’s various divine Thirunaamams (names),

we are blessed to obtain Sriman Narayanan with us. In this fertile

ThiruvaattaaRu, Emperumaan, has consented to our request and has on His

own, come here quickly and graced us and to grant us Paramapadham. These

happenings, have occurred different from our thinking. (we never

thought He would come in so QUICKLY!). But He has come! For such a GREAT

HUGE BLISS, the credit goes to You, “nenjamE”. (Oh Mind! It is You who

controlled the senses and saved me!).

 

4. Oh My good mind! ThiruvaattaaRRu Emperumaan tore the chest of cruel

hiraNyan and killed him. He won the MahAbhAratha battle (without even

lifting any arm) and favoured the five paaNdavaas. And now, Our

Perumaan- Our Swami has entered into us and by opening His mouth from

inside, He has enabled us write these Thiruvaaymozhi Thamizh

prabhandhams. He has thus desired by falling on us like this on His own

and blessed us in this sort.

 

5. ThiruvaattaaRRu Emperumaan- He has paved the way – the

Arcchiraadhimaargam- for me to go to Paramapadham. Even I am blessed to

obtain that Parama bhAgyam, as He had assured. The Lord- who has the

honey dripping thuLasi leaves on His Feet- is wandering on GarudA. His

Lotus Feet are on my head. I am blessed with this PARAMA BHAGYAM. Hence,

Oh my dearest mind! You laugh at that narakam! (Narakam means: this

samsaara saagaram!)

 

6. At ThiruvaattaaRu, Emperumaan is reclining on Thiru ananthaazhwaan

AdhisEshan. That Lord’s -our Emperumaan’s those two Lotus Feet are on my

head. The Red Lotus eyed Lord always at all times, stays in my heart

firmly. We have reached the Lotus Feet of Sri KrishNan, who has broken

the tusks of the angry elephant kuvalayaapeetam.

 

7. We have reached those Feet of Bhagawaan. Our Swami Govindhan has

occupied our hearts fully. My Swami has gracefully been showing Himself

at this beautiful, fertile place of ThiruvaattaaRu. Thulasi fragrance

that lingers at His Feet- I am able to get the bhAgyam of having that

fragrance stay on my body too. (Is this alone NOT sufficient for the

proof that I have united with ThiruvaattaaRRu PerumAn)

 

8. Thirutthuzhaay fragrance in His body is also smelt on His crown.

Wherever He thinks, the ChakrAyudham can go, hit the target and come

back to Emperumaan- Such ChakrAyudham is held by Emperumaan, who is like

a dark big mountain of deep blue water colour. That Lord of mine is here

at ThiruvaattaaRu. What good did I do to Him to be blessed to have that

Greatest Emperumaan in my heart so firmly? Nothing! What a dayA! What a

grace!

 

9. In His Brightest Chest, He has Periya PiraaTTi seated most

gracefully. That Thirumaal, is gracefully present at ThiruvaTTaaRu. He

has got the GarudA as His vaahanam. The One who fought with the asurAs

and destroyed their kulam- has not ignored and looked down at this lowly

self- in stead, He has also stayed in my heart firmly for ever

uninterruptedly. (What a karuNAmoorthy is He!)

 

10. Emperumaan has blessed me saying “Without being separated from Me,

even for a fraction of a second, serve Me uninterruptedly and perform

eternal kaimkaryam to Me”. He came as Lord Narasimhan and killed

hiraNyan. And at ThiruvaaTTaaRu, He is taking rest and reclining on

AdhisEshan to get over that exertion and relax, it appears. He has

shown that one can get the rarest of His blessings, by serving the Great

Srivaishnavas / BhAgawathAs.

 

11. Emperumaan showed His Lotus Feet and removed the greatest hurdle of

entering into the cruel Narakam. Sri SadagOpar of fertile

Thirukkurugoor has sung 1000 pAsurams on Emperumaan and these ten will

never satisfy the listeners and even NityasUris will ask for them again

and again to enjoy Emperumaan more and more.
