Tiruvoimozhi pillai vaibhavam contd. part 2

 

When Koorakulothama dasa started to preach, Tiruvoimozhi pillai had a

request to make. "I am preoccupied with rajyakarya, so kindly render the

kalakshepams while I wear my tirumankappu". K.Dasa also agreed. Rahasya

kalakshepa went on. On a day, due to his overburden, Tiruvoimozhi pillai was

not hearing to the words of K. dasa. Acharya wanted to put an end to this

and did not come for some days. T pillai could not bear this and went to K

dasa's tirumaligai. Fell before his feet and asked for pardon. He took the

Sripadatheertham and uchishtam of K dasa and hence got enlightened.

Immediately he became a virakta, entrusted all his affairs to the

Rajamahishi and followed K.dasa in his thinking, speech and body

(mukkarana). Then the rahasya kalakshepa went on without any hindrance and

K. dasa could satisfy his acharya's wish.

 

This great deed of K. dasa is revered by this sloka :

 

SwayamAhUya sailEsa guravErthapradanataha

labdha udArAbhidham kUrakulotama gurum bhaje

lOkAchArya krupapAtram koundinya kulabhUshanam

samatAtma gunAvAsam vandE kUrakulotamam.

 

The one who voluntarily gave all the rahasyarthas to T pillai and thus was

called "udAra" - my salutations to him.

Let my salutations be for the one who is - blessed by Lokacharya, an

ornament to Koundinya kula,the abode of all atma gunas.

Eedu Kalakshepa .

After K. dasa attained his acharyan tiruvadigal, as per the wish of Pillai

lokacharya, tirumalai azhwar went to Naloorpillai for divya prabandha

kalakshepa. On the way, he went to Kanchi. While he was worshipping Lord

Perarulala,both Naloor pillai(father) and naloorachan pillai(son) came

there. Immediately Lord Devaraja ordered Naloorachan pillai to bless T

pillai with Eedu and other 3000 vyakyanas. This was carried out. The

following sloka iterates this event:

 

dEvadhipAt samadhigamya sahasragItEhe

bhasyam nigUdhamapi yaha prathayAncakara

kuntIpurodbhavam amum saranam bhajeham

srisailanatham urubhaktibhrutam satharou

 

I surrender myself to tirumalai azhwar - the one who received Eedu from

Naloorachan pillai and spread the same to many, one who has great bhakti

towards Nammalwar, one who was born in Kuntinagara.
