[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesika namah:

 

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

naNNum vaNNam eNNu- The way He needs to be

contemplated- Think on the same way (not in any other

manner). Think of Him always; thereby You can attain

Him soonest.

 

Inamaaya vettun^eekki

vaanamaaLa vallaiyElva

Nankivaazhththen nenchamE,

NYaanamaaki NYaayiRaaki

NYaalamuRRu mOreyiRRu,

Enamaayi danthamoorththi

yenthaipaadha meNNiyE. (114)

 

 

my mind! The lowliest eight are removed; without any

suffering, reaching beyond the Cosmic Matter

(prakruthi) and attaining Paramapadham and be there

for ever joyfully as Swaraat; - if you are interested

in that and would like to be qualified for the same;

develop the jnAnam of performing bhakti yoga or

Saraganati (Prapatti) and prostrate, praise, bow down

and think of the divine Lotus Feet of My Father, My

Lord, Parampurushan Sriman Narayanan who appeared as

huge Boar that took the Mother Earth [on His single

horn] out of troubled waters; who is the indweller of

Surya (Sun).

 

If ever you wish to be qualified and be capable for

ruling the Paramapadham, praise Him as Swayam

prayOjanam; It is all not in our hands; It is His

pleasure that grants us the sane, Nothing is due to

our effort. We just need to pray to Him; surrender to

Him; My Father’s divine Lotus feet alone is the means

to get there- can also be interpreted. To be there,

think of His divine Lotus feet and meditate on the

same. If you do not do that (surrender), then it is

not possible to attain the upper world (Paramapadham)-

is also implied here.

 

This is similar to ThiruvaLLuvar’s:

 

piRavi perunkadal neendhuvar neendhaar

iRaivan aDi sErAdhAr.

 

[Those who surrender] Will cross the ocean of births ;

Will not cross

Those who do not surrender to the Lotus feet of the

Lord.

 

The lowliest eight- (eenamaaya ettu)-

avdiyA, karma, vaasana, ruchi, prakruthi sambandham,

AdhyAthmika, Adhiboudhika, Adhidhaivika thaapas..

 

OR kaama krOdha, lOba, mOha, madha, maathsarya,

anjnAna, assoyai

OR sthoola sareera [Gross body]- Pancha bhUthas,

puNya, paapam, and wealth

OR sookshuma sareera [subtle body]- Pancha bhUthas,

bAhyEndriyas, mind, prANan

 

With no suffering- with no efforts- crossing the

virajA nadhI; [river virajA which is the barrier

between this world and upper world]

 

How can the mind be there and reach Paramapadham – the

query..

 

If I (your friend) need to be there, my friend oh

mind! -You need to be qualified and be capable of

taking this effort of thinking of the Lord - can also

be the interpretation.

 

sooryadwArENa thE virajA: prauaanthi- The jeevan

passes thorugh the Soorya mandalam in his path towards

Paramapadham and hence Sun is referred to here by

AzhwAr.

 

With the jnAnam of bhakti and prapatti performance –

which dispels the inner darkness or ignorance; the

external darkness is dispelled by the Sun;

 

Here jnAnapiraan- Adhi varahaa mUrthy is mentioned as

He took the whole universe on His horn thus declaring

everyone can be elevated by Me [if only they think of

me and surrender to Me once- sthithE manasi….. aham

smaraami mad bhaktham nayaami paramaam gathim- I would

take them by myself to My abode].

 

mUrthy- the six qualities of ParavaasudEva mUrthy-

jnAna, bhala, aishwaryam, veerya, shakthi, thEjas.

 

[interestingly, Vaaraha is also referred to by

NammAzhwAr just six verses before completion of

Thiruvaymozhi – similar to Thirumazhisai AzhwAr’s-

Thirucchandha viruttham also is of 120 verses. We are

at 114th verse].
