Tiruvoimozhi pillai vaibhavam part 3

 

After getting Eedu and other vyakyanas from Naloorachan pillai along with

Inavayar talaivan deity, tirumalai azhwar went to tirukanambi to have alwars

darsan. He had, and wished to bring back azhwar to alwarthirunagari. He went

to tirunagari which was like forest and changed it to a lovely little place,

renovated the whole temple and brought back azhwar to tirupuli. Due to this

kainkarya he is known as satakopa dasar. As he did so many kainkaryas to the

feet of azhwar we say " prasada labdha parama prapya kainkarya saline". His

life line was Tiruvoimozhi and so he was called as tiruvoimozhi pillai.

 

Last rights to Vilanjolai pillai.

V. Pillai was not born in the so called upper caste. But had the krupa of

Pillai lokacharya. He was at Tiruvananthapuram. T. pillai as per the wish of

Pillai lokacharya went to T. puram and blessed will many important aspects

of our sampradaya by V. pillai. When V. pillai attained acharyan

tiruvadigal, it was T. pillai himself who performed the carama kainkarya.

This was just like perianambigal performing for maraner nambigal. Later T.

pillai considered his nephew as his son and named him as devaperumal after

the nama of naloorachan pillai.

 

Mamunigal and T. pillai

The best part of T. pillai great life is the grace he showed to M.

Mamunigal. As T. pillai reached old age, he was worried as to who would be

the next acharya to receive all the treasure stored in him. As this time,

azhagiya manavala nayanar (later known as m. mamunigal) son of tigazha

kidandan tirunaveerudaya piran tadarannar (desciple of Pillai lokacharya)

came and surrendered himself to T. pillai.

>From then on m.mamunigal learnt all the sampradayarthas from T. pillai

including Eedu. When m. mamunigal gave his kalakshepa on Eedu for one year

in Srirangam, on the conclusion Lord Ranganatha came as a 5 year old archaka

boy and submitted the famous taniyan "Srisailesa dayapatram .....". Such was

the greatness of acharya sishya sambandha of T. pillai and m.mamunigal that

the Lord himself started this sloka on m.mamunigal revealing the daya of

T.pillai on m.mamunigal.

 

Manavala mamunigal also praises his acharya in the following verses :

upadesa rathina malai - 1. "endai tiruvoimozhipillai innarulal..."

 

Artiprabandham - 12. "desantigazhum tiruvoimozhi pillai masil tirumalai

azhwar ennai nesatal..."

 

Artiprabandham - 21. "tirumalai azhwar tiruvoimozhi pillai seerarulal..."

 

Artiprabandham - 22. " teedatra gnana tiruvoimozhi pillai seerarulal..."

 

Artiprabandham - 46."tiruvoimozh pillai teevinayon tammai guruvagi

vanduyyakkondu ...."

 

Tiruvoimozhi pillai tiruvadigale saranam.
