UpadEsa Rathna Maalai: Part 5

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

Few of you have written to me about the missing paasuram ,

the sixteenth one.There was an error in my numbering that led to

the skipping of one of the five Paasurams , where Sri MM

pays high tribute to PeriyAzhwAr and his ThiruppallANDu .

I am glad that number of you are reading these postings closely .

 

In part 4 , please number (17) as (16) .The missing paasuram

is the 17th one that I will cover here . Rest of it (18-20 )is

in order .

 

Jn~AnigaL"s recognition of the greatness of PeriyAzhwAr

********************************************************

 

maanilatthin munn namm PeriyAzhwAr vanthu uthittha

Aani tannil sOthi yenRAl aadharikkum --Jn~Aniyarkku

oppAr illai ivvulahu tanil yenRi nenjE

yeppOthum sinthitthiru.........(17)

 

(Meaning):Oh My Mind! At all times think of

the ones who begin their celebration of

our AchAryan, PeriyAzhwAr, the moment they

hear about the words Aani SvAthi and immediately

connect it to his sacred avathAra dinam .There is

no one in all the world, who can match the glories of

these MahA PurshAs filled with pure Jn~Anam that

enables them to understand the unique glory of this day .

 

(Comments): Sri MM's reverence for PeriyAzhwAr is

abundantly clear through his choice of the words ,

"namm PeriyAzhwAr ". Sri MM's pride in sambhandham

with PeriyAzhwAr is also clearly displayed here .

Sri MM refers here to the matchless Jn~Anis , who

celebrate the greatness of periyAzhwAr , the moment

some one says , " Aani tannil sOthi" . In the whole

month of Aani , there is only one JyOthi (effulgence )

for them and that is PeriyAzhwAr . Sri MM asks us

to reflect on the soubhAgyam of these Jn~Anis ,

who understand fully the avathAra rahasyam of

PeriyAzhwAr .

Dear Sir

I did not look up your posting under reference when I sent you the message

regarding the missing pasuram. I am glad you have issued the necessary

correction.
