Dear BhakthAs:

 

Today we will study the second of the Paasurams

of Thirumangai Mannan on Lord DhaivanAyakan of

ThiruvahIndhrapuram ( Periya Thirumozhi: 3.1.2):

 

minnum aazhi amkaiyavan SeyyavaL uRai-taru ThirumArbhan

pannu-naan maRap-pall poruL aahiya Paran idam varai saaral

pinnu maadhavip-panthalil pedai varap-piNi avizh kamalatthu

tennavenRu vaNDu innisai mural taru ThiruvayIdhrapuramE

 

" Minnum aazhi amkaiyavan " = He is the One with most radiant

chakram (Sudarsanam) in His hand .

 

SeyyavaL uRai taru mArbhan = He is the One with MahA Lakshmi

on His chest without separation (nithya vAsam on His

Vakshasthalam as SrInivAsan).

 

Naal maRai pal poruL Paran idam = This TiruvahIndhrapuram is

the Home of the Lord , who is the SarvAntharyAmi of all chethanams

and achethanams as revealed by VedAs and their Upanishads .

 

Varai Saaral pinnu Maadhavi pandalil pedai vara = In the foot

hills of Oushada Giri of ThiruvahIndhrapuram , the male honey bee

with his consort wish to unite in the interlocking canopy made

up of Maadhavi trees near the lotus ponds.

 

piNi avizh kamalatthu tenna yennu vaNDu innisai mural taru

ThiruvayeendhrapuramE = Inside the blossoming red Lotus flowers ,

the Honey bee couples wait to move on to their ultimate

resting place for the night ( Interlocking Maadhavi Pandal

nearby) and spend their time singing (ReemkAram) the sthOthrams

about the Lord of ThiruvahIndhrapuram . If the honey bees wait

without moving on , the lotus flowers will close their petals

for the night and the bees will be locked up for the night.

That place , where one hears Hari Naama sankIrthanam at

the lotus ponds and Maadhavi Panthal is indeed

ThiruvahIndhrapuram.

Additional PramANams and references:

 

1. Minnum Aazhi amkaiyavan:

" Sphurath SahasrAra sikhAthi theevram Sudarsanam

BhAskara KOdi Tulyam ". That glittering Sudarsanam

(minnum Aazhi) with thousands of spurts /rays is

adorning the beautiful hand of the Lord ( amkaiyavan).

 

Minnum Aazhi: Sphuda TaDith jaala pinjara ( SrI Sudarsana

Ashtakam): The Sudarsanam is resembling in its radiant

golden color like the shining assembly of lightning bolts.

 

2. SeyyavaL uRai ThirmArbhan: (SrInivAsan): Lord's lakshanam

(defining mark ) is the residence of MahA Lakshmi on His

Chest ( ahalahillEn yenRu AlarmEl Mangai uRai Thiru Maarbhan).

Seyyaval is MahA Lakshmi , the HiraNya VarNai ( HirnyavarNAm

HariNIm ) , who engages in the act of PurushakAram (Seyya

vallavaL , Vaallabhyam ).

 

3. Naal maRai pal poRul Paran : SarvAntharyAmithvam of the Lord

as revealed by the four VedAs and their Upanishads--PramANams:

AntharyAmi Brahmam sections of BruhadhAraNyaka Upanishad,

3.7.8--3.7.27 celebrates ParamAthman/Paran as the immanent ,

indweller of all chEthanams and achEthnams .That antharyAmi

Brahman is different from the JivAthman. As the AntharyAmi ,

the Supreme Lord is the inner controller of all sentients

and insentients.This antharyAmi Brahman concept is fundamental

to the Body-Soul relationship ( SarIra-SarIri Bhaava) developed

by AchArya RaamAnuja as the central plank of VisishtAdhvaitham.

This Upanishadic antaryAmi Brahman can not be fully seen by

the sense organs due to His infinite nature. This antharyAmi

Brahman is seen and is seeable in all its splendor as Archai

at Thiruvaheendhrapuram as Dhaiva Naayakan for our benefit.

 

Other Upanishadic PramANams about AntharyAmi Brahman

are found in SvEthasvatharam(I.9) KathOpanishat (I.3.1),

Brahma Soothram (I.2.11:anupravEsam in created beings )

and ChAndhOgyam (VI.3.3).
