thirup pAvai - part 40 - "saravEwaran, the most suitable bride

groom or mAppiLLai"

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

Having talked about jivAtma pakkuvam, AchArya thatthuvam

and mantra upadEsam, this prakraNam or part should have dealt

that our sarvEswaran is the only Siddha upAyam. ie., As a flow

of thought we would have expected that once one has the pakkuvam

and receives the mantra upadEsam from an AchArya, they are told

that sarvEswaran will stand as "siddhO upAyam" and deliver them

mOksham. But Such has not been conveyed explicitly in this line.

However, where else She (Sri ANDAL) has explicitly conveyed the

prerequisites For getting mOksham as well, prior to this line

such that one can expect her now to state the siddha upAya

swaroopam in detail ? It is said that the expectation is raised

even more seriously in the minds of us when we know that she

suddenly address the para thatthuvam in the next line as

"nArAyanaNE". So, it is normal to expect such a direct address

of HIS thiruk kalyAna guNas prior to addressing HIS para

thatthuvam. ie This name is such an asAthArana name and that

one maynot want to address it without any prefix. However,

instead of such deliverance, She goes onto say that "kAr mEnich

chengaN kathir mathiyam pOl mugatthAn" as a sequel to the events

in "nOnbu" and address such to the Aaychiars (symbolising

jivAtmAs).

 

The vyAkyAna karthAs are not content with minimal

vyAkyAnams and so we dig in here to find out more on this patham.

The inner meaning of this line is such that by stating these

external beauties of the Lord the innate thiruk kalayANa gunAs

of the Lord that are instrumentnal for HIM in keeping HIM as

the siddO upAyam are addressed here. It is already said in the

earlier parts that certain thiru kalyAna gunAs are represented

by her addressing HIS thiru muga maNdaLam or face. However, we

try to understand even more from the poorvAchAryAs vyAkyAnam

on this to understand about HIS thiru kalyAna gunAs that

forms the nature for HIM such that HE stands as the siddha

upAyam.

 

In order for us to attain the "siddhO upAyam" it is said

by our poorva AchAryAs that the provider (the Lord is the only

provider as we all know) must have vAthsalyam, swAmithvam,

sowseelyam and sowlabyam as His gunAs that provide in His being

the siddhO upAya. And the provider of mOksham must have nyAnam,

sakthi, avAptha samastha kAmathvam, sarva swAmithuvam,

irakkam (dayA or mercy) for granting mOksham.

 

This is similar to saying to the Aaychiars that the our

"mAppiLLai" or bride groom is a very enterprising person and "HE

is capable of dong so many things and that HE is good in this

and that and HE is very versatile etc. So, HE will get you what

all you wish for in your life and will keep you extremely happy

all throughout your life if you get married to HIM. If you want

to live your rest of the life happy HE is the only qualified

one who can make it happen and hence HE is the way (siddhO

upAyam) to go.".
