thoo nilA muRRam - part 32 - aAviyAi... amuthanAi ....

 

It is more a "theen chuvai" to think on these lines and

further our thoughts in praise of Sri ArA amuthan. Hence prior to

presenting on Sri ArA amuthan and Sri Vaideeka vimAna vaibavam out

of Sri praNavAkAra vimAnam and Sri RanganAthan, a critical study

is discussed such that it reveals certain insights. A visit to the

neighboring thiru naRaiyoor is made to recall Sri thirumangai's

anubavam in thiru naRaiyoor. Sri thiru mangai had many things

happening for him in thiru naRaiyoor. He was arrested and kept in a

confinement for 3 days without food and water by the chOla king for

want of the taxes that were collected and not transferred to the

Government treasury. The cell was in side the temple itself. Then

Lord appeared here and informed him of a treasure such that he can

bail out himself. All these were presented earlier with analyses on

Lord's eagerness (*) to fulfill Sri thirumangai's wishes and Lord's

"oodal" in delaying his wishes as well. It all makes one to

conclude that AzhwAr assumed the Lord in HIMself and his union with

the paramporuL in a very distinct way.

 

He had made references to the three components that are mainly

constituting this union, (ie., (parama) Athman, prakrithi and

chEthanan or sareeram of himself) and had his anubavam by equating

the LORD in 3 different kshEthrams to these components in his own

pAsurams. The first 2 components namely the (parama) Athman, and

pRakrithi could be derived from the pAsurams of other AzhwArs

besides thirumangai. The third component namely the "body" can also

be derived symbolically from the "act" of the Lord HIMslef when HE

performed samAsrayEnam and offered pancha samaskaaram for

thirumangai at thiru naRaiyoor.

 

1. (parama) AthmA (Eswarathuvam)

2. prakrithi

3. and Body

 

The three corresponding Lords are

 

1. Amuthan

2. Arangan

3. Srinivasan of thiru naraiyoor or "naachiyaar kOil"

 

1. (parama) Athman as "ArAvamuthan"

The reason for deriving this conclusion is that Sri ArA

amuthan is observed by both Sri thirumangai and Sri nammAzhwAr as

 

"AviyE amuthE ena ninainthu urugi..." by thirumangai and

"Araa amuthay adiyEn ''Avi''akamE thithippaay.." by Sri nammAzhwAr

 

clearly states that thirukkudanthai ArA amuthan is the Athman of

(antharyAmi) for all.

 

2. Prakrithi as "Arangan"

Thirumangai pleads for mOksham mainly from "Sri Arangan" as

 

"unthimEl nAmukanai padaiththAn ulagu uNdavan enthai emmAn..", and

"amalan Athi pirAn adiyArkku ennai At padutthi vimalan...." by

 

thiru pAn AzhwAr.

 

3. Body or chEthanan as vyuka vaasudEvan (near to kumbakonam) of

thiru naRaiyoor Sri Nambi is considered by Sri thiru mangai. Our

AzhwAr was initiated into the norms of Srivaishnavam by the Lord

HIMSELF ie.. SrinivAsa perumAL of thiru naRaiyoor (by doing

"samAsrayEnam"). Since this is the samAsrayEna kshethram , it is

considered equivalent to the body. In thiru naRaiyoor, one would

also see the para vyukam of the LORD in his forms as

 

Sri Para vAsudEvan, Sri aniruththan, Sri purushOththaman, Sri

shankarshanan, Sri prithyumnan, all courting in equal "uruvams"

and in the same celestial order and of the similarity in shape or

formation of the universe. In all AzhwAr sees Lord in each and

everything in their anubavam as similar to the "vAkku" in Srimadh

Bagawath Geetha.
