GURUMUKHAM ANADHEETHYA PRAAHA VEDAAN ASESHAAN

NARAPATHI PARIKLIPTHAM SULKAM AADHAATHUKAAMA:

SVASURAM AMARAVANDHYAM RANGANATHASYA SAAKSHAATH

DWIJAKULA TILAKAM TAM VISHNUCHITTHAM NAMAAMI

 

This is one of the two Taniyans for ThiruppallANdu

of PeriyAzhwAr .It was given to us by Natha Muni

 

(Meaning ):I salute Sri VishnuchitthA , who is like

a Tilakam for the kulam of Brahmins and who is the direct

Father-in-law of Sri RanganAthA .He is the one worshipped

by the dEvAs ; he won the pandhaya poruL (sac of Gold

for the winner in the competition )set aside

by Sri Vallabha Deva Paandyan, the king of Mathurai ,

who was interested in establishing clearly the nature and

identity of the Supreme Being .This Sri VishNuchitthA did

readily with the anugraham of Bhagavaan ,although he had

not undergone any formal instrcutions on VedAs and Upanishads

from an AchArya in a formal manner and yet he revealed clearly

to the group of assembled scholars the VedArthams and

established without doubt that Sriman NaarAyaNA is the

one and only Supreme Being and won the contest organized

by the king of Mathurai effortlessly .

 

Tamizh Taniyan on ThiruppallANdu

*********************************

This one has been composed by Sri Paandiya Bhattar .

 

minnAr taDa mathil soozh VilliputthUr yenRorukkAl

sonnAr kazhaRkamalam sUdinOm --munnAL

kizhi aRutthAn yenRuraitthOm,keezhmainil sErum

vazhi aRutthOm nenjamE ! vanthu

 

(Meaning ) : Oh, My Mind ! Since we are blessed to

have your help , we have worn on our head the lotus

feet of BhagavathAs ,who said even once "SrivilliputthUr",

the divya dEsam surrounded by the luminous citadels (MathiLs).

Further , we are joyous to remind ourselves that

PeriyAzhwAr removed these doubts in the mind of people

of his day by establishing the parathvam(supermacy ) of

Sriman NaarAyaNaa unambigously and won the prize

set aside by the King for the winner in this debate .

We repeatedly describe that service done by PeriyAzhwAr

that enhances our joy further ; this act of ours has also

led to our success in banishing all the sins that would

land one normally in fierce narakams .

 

The two Sri VilliputthUr Paasurmas ( PeriyAzhwar & ANDAL)

Periya Thirumozhi Paasuram : 2.2.6

 

Minniya nuNNidayAr virikuzhal mEl nuzhaindha VaNDu

innisaikkum VilliputthUr inithamarnthAi unnaik kanDAr

yenna nOnpu nORRAL kolO ivanaip peRRa VaiRudayAL

yennum vArthai seythuvittha IrudIkEsA ! mulai uNNAyE

 

(Context): KaNNan had played all day without feeling

hunger or thirst . He has now slept from all that fatigue

from exertion. He was still sleeping after dawn.

YasOdhai wishes to wake Him up and remind Him

that he has not taken His mother's (her) milk

and invites Him to nourish Himself from sthanya Paanam .

The set of 10 paasurams cover this theme .

 

(Meaning of the Sixth Paasuram ): Oh Lord , who sits

with elegance , sweetness and comfort at Paramapadham

and the divya dEsam of SrivilliputthUr , which is known

for its lightning like,slender-waisted damsels with

abundant koonthals ,where the bees are swirling

to access the honey inside the flowers there !

Oh HrishIkEsA who gave me the fame of being

the blessed mother of a son like You ,

who differs in every way from all the other

children in Your rUpam , guNam and ChEshtais !

I am indeed blessed .Please come and enjoy

the nourishing milk from my breast !

 

ANDAL'S NAACHIYaR THIRUMOZHI PAASURAM : 5.1

 

Srimathi KalyAni KrishNamAchAri is just about ready

to translate this paasuram in her next posting on

NaachiyAr Thirumozhi series . Here ANDAL appeals to

the Nightingale ( Kuyil) to unite Her with Her Lord

Govindhan .We will wait for her posting on this paasuram

related to SrivilliputthUr .
