Sri Thirukkudanthai SaarangapANi Paasuramgal in Tamil

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs of the Lord of Thirukkudanthai :

 

Inspired by the AzhwArs who performed ManagaLAsAsanam ,

I have ventured to write ten Tamil poems on Sri SaarangapANi

in the spirit of the Tamil folk song . This effort of

mine is in tune with the spirit of this folk song :

 

Kaana mayil aaDak kaNDiruntha Vaankozhiuyum

thAnum tannpollAc chiRahai viritthu aaDinARppOlE

 

( Meaning ) : The Turkey spread its uncomely feathers

and began to dance , when it saw the beautiful peacock

spreading its colorful wing to dance .

 

I place these ten poems at the feet of Sri KomaLavalli

SamEtha Sri AarAvamudhan with reverence . The words used

in these poems have been inspired by the AzhwAr's Pasura

vAkhyams :

 

1. anparkku aruL puriyum maaperum SothiyAnavan

ulahelAm paranthu vinthaikal puriyum Maayavan

Mangai iruvar malar silampadi varudum vayOdhikan

Kudanthai Vaazh SaarangapANi Odhuvarkkariyavan

 

( here His PraNavAkara SvarUpam is saluted with

the first three lines of the above poem

starting with with the letters A, U and M ).

As a novice poet unfamiliar with meter and

rhyme , I have emboldened myself to offer

at the feet of the Lord of Thirukkudanthai

these decad of verses .May He accept it in

the spirit of humility with which it is offered

at the time of His samprOkshana MahOthsavam

set for June 30 at Thirukkudanthai.
