ThirumangaiAzhwAr's Periya Thirumozhi- Thaniyans (Dedicatory verses)

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

Let us look at Periya Thirumozhi thaniyans (dedicatory verses) on

Thirumangaimannan- Kaliyan - Parakaalan.

 

ThirukkOttiyoor Nambhi's thaniyan

 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram

yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

 

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the whole world, to

destroy the darkness of ignorance (ajj~nAnam) with his word and who

destroys the Kali dhOsham

 

Emberumaanaar (Sri Ramnuja's) thaniyan

 

vaazhi parakaalan vaazhi kaliganRi,

vaazhi kuRaiyaloor vaazhvEnNdhan -- vaazhiyarO

maayOnai vaaLvaliyaal manNdhirangkoL mangkaiyarkOn

thooyOn sudarmaana vEl.

 

Long live Parakaalan; May He who has removed the Kali dhOsham long live;

who is staying permanently at ThirukkuRaiyaloor long live; who showed

His spear and threatened the SarvEshwaran Lord Sriya:pathih Sriman

Narayanan, to get upadEsam from Him straight away long live; May this

purest BhakthA, the king of Thirumangai beings, long live! And may His

lustrous sword in His hand long live!

 

Azhvaan (KooratthAzhwAn) 's thaniyan

 

nenjchukku iruLkadi dheepam adangkaa nedumbiRavi,

nanjhukku nallavamudham thamizha nannool thuRaigaL,

anjukku ilakkiyam aaraNasaaram* parasamayap

panjhuk kanalin poRi parakaalan panuvalgaLE.

 

Thirumangai AzhwAr's works are like Yama for the enemies (other

religions- non-believers); they are like the lamp that removes the

darkness of ignorance (aj!nAnam); they are like the nectar (amudham)

that can change the killing fatal poison of these births that has been

going on for us, since time immemorial, which can not be fought against

with any amount of efforts at all otherwise; They are the tamil

literature which has got yezhutthu, sol, poruL, yaappu and aNi.

 

Embaar 's thaniyans

 

engkaLgadhiyE! iraamaanusamuniyE!

sangkai kedutthaaNda thavaraasaa -- pongkupugazh

mangkaiyarkOn eendha maRai aayiram anaitthum

thangkum manamn Nee yenakku ththaa.

 

Oh Ramanuja! Our only refuge! Oh King of thapasvIs (those who do great

penance) and the Chief of everyone! The One who removes our doubts on

saasthrAs! Please bless this lowly self, me to get to know the entire

collection of thousand pAsurams of Thirumangaimannan, which house the

Vedic truths in full.

 

maalaith thaiyE vazhi paRikka vENum enRu

kOlip padhilirundha koRRavanE! - vElai

aNaitthu aruLum kaiyil adiyEn vinaiyaith

thuNitthu aruLa vENum thuNindhu.

 

Oh King, The One who hid behind the bushes and robbed Sriman Narayanan!

You, (who is the saviour and protector from the onslaught and attack of

other religions with your great "vEl" (spear)), should bless me and cut

asunder my sins and karmic diseases with your sharp spear.

 

We will start with the first lovely Great ten, in the next series.
