FORGET 7-concluded-forget me not.

[Guest guest]

Dear srEvaishNavites,

 

It may thus be observed that AzhwAr's thoughts run similar as regards

thinking of Him and regards being unable to forget Him.

 

I conclude with one final quote from thirumangai mannan's periya thiru-mozhi 7-1-1

 

"kaRavA mada-nagu than kaNRu vuLLinAR pOle,

maRavAdhu adiyEan vunnaiyEa azhaikkinREAn'

 

 

"This samsAram is bereft with aspects which are attractive and prone

to distance and distract away from the Lord Almighty. However, being

in this, I am remembering You without forgetting " is thiru-mangai

AzhwAr's appeal to the Lord in this thiru-naRaiyUrp pAsuram.

Dear Sri Padmanabhan Swamin,

 

adiyEn was reminded of a story about this pasuram when

I saw it.

 

Amudhanar tried to interpret the line "karavA mada

nAgu than kanRu uLLinAr pOl" as "karavA mada nAgu,

than kanRinai uLLinAr pOl" - that is, like a cow

which has not been milked yet thinking of its calf.

However, this did not go with the next line where

Azhvar refers to him (the calf) calling out to the

Lord (the cow).

 

When Parasara Bhattar was presented with this pasuram,

he explained it as follows: "karavA mada nAgu than

kanRu, (than thAyai) uLLinAR pOl". That is, the calf

(Azhvar) of the cow which has not been milked yet,

thinking of its mother (the Lord).

Dear Sri TCA,

True extremely true sri TCA. In fact I also thought of writing this

but since I was writing a different topic, I avoided it. Thanks for

narrating the episode. I request you to include this in " A Day in

the lIfe of AchArya-s" heading in other groups as well.

 

Thank You
