Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha Sri Vara Vara MunayE Namaha Sri VanAchala mahA munayE Namaha “Srimath Krishna samahvAya namO yAmuna soonavE yathkadAkshai: kalakshyAnAm sulabhaha sreedhara sadhA” “sarvEshvaran eppadi evarkkundAna vishayAdhi prasakthiyaikkandu evarai edhil nindrum meethkum viragu thEdippArththu vishaya pravanarAna evarai sastraththai kAtti meetka vonnAdhu, nam azhagai kAtti meetka vEnumendru pArththu, evarku vishayangalil vundAna rasikathvaththai pattrAsAgakondu than azhagai kAttik kodukkak kandu, “vEnbin puzhu vEmbandri vunnAdhu, adiyen nAn pinnu mun sEvadi andri nayavEn” endru-thanakku Eswara vishayaththilundAna bhOkyathai thatvishayavailakshanya prayukthamandriyE sattAprayukthamO ennum padi evvishayaththilE avagAhiththAr.” Seeing Azhvar’s deep involvement in the lowkika pleasures emperuman came to the decision that it is not possible to change azhvar by using the sastras, rather perumal decided to attract azhvar by showing his beauty. Azhvar deeply enjoyed the beauties of the world so using the same path emperuman wanted to bring azhvar close to him by showing his own beauty that was out of the world (the beauty which gives beauty to any beauty in this world). Azhvar got immersed in emperuman’s divine beauty and then sang, “venbin puzhu….” That is like a worm in a neem tree that eats only the neem leaf; fruit etc adiyen will also fall only to your feet and will never look aside. Azhvar has now reached a stage where his involvement towards the emperuman doesn’t look like his attraction towards emperuman’s beauty but it has been part and parcel of him always. “evar thanpakkalil AzhangAl padakkanda Ishwaran, “evarkku nampakkaluNdAna prEmam edhara vishaya sAmanyaththai pOlandriyE sampanna jnanapoorvaka mAgavEnum” endru kizhiseeraiyOdhE thanaththai koduppArai pOlE sarvArththa prakAsakamAna thirumanthiraththaiyum sowseelyAdhi gunAdhikyaththaiyum thirumanthraththirkku ellai nilamAya thiruppadhigalaiyum kAtti kodukkak kandu vAdinEn vAdi thodangi, oru nalsuttram alavum vugantharulina nilamE Ashrayaneeyamum sAdhanamum bhokyamum endru anubhaviththAr” Emperuman saw the deep involvement of azhvar in bhagavat vishayam. But not wanting the involvement to be restricted like his earlier involvement in lowkikam due to mere attraction or passion towards the beauties of the world emperuman wanted him to appreciate bhagavat vishyam along with the complete knowledge about the same. Emperuman wanted to give azhvar the enjoyment of bhagavat vishayam along with the required jnanam just like a person being blessed with huge wealth along with the locker or box to preserve the same. So emperuman blessed azhvar with the most intellectual thirumanthram and also showed his ultimate divine qualities like sowseelyam to azhvar. Further emperuman showed azhvar the divine divya desams that were the ultimate outcome which one wants to attain after knowing the thirumanthram. Due to the divine grace of emperuman azhvar started enjoying the divinity in each divya desam and hence sang in praise of the dd’s starting from vadi nEn vAdi in his first thirumozhi and ending his divya desa anubhavams in “orunal suttram” padhigam towards the end of the Periya thirumozhi. In his paasurams thirumangai azhvar enjoyed the divya desams to be the ultimate path that has been attained, served and to be rejoiced.
