Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Sri Parthasarathi thunai SrimathE rAmAnujaya Namaha Srimad Vara Vara munayE Namaha Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha “mEshE chittA samuthbhootham pANdyadEsE kaNamsakam I SriparAnkusa sathbhaktham madhuram kavimAsrayE II” In the previous posting we saw that in thiruvallikeni, the divine abode of parthasarathi emperuman, Sri Madurakavi Azhvar (MA) is found in a special posture with his right hand indicating to his heart. Let us now try to analyze a little bit and try to find the probable reasons for this divine happening. We all know that MA is the only azhvar who didn’t sing about any divya desa emperuman but instead choose to sing only about his acharyan, Swamy Nammazhvar with great enthusiasm. Though his intent was to sing about his acharyan to all our amazement MA’s “Kanninun ciruthAmbhu” starts with the following line: “Kanninun ciruthAmbhinAl kattunna panniya perumAyan” This is a reference to Krishna who did the leelai of udharabhandanam and made yesodha to tie him with a rope with number of knots. So confusion arises, towards whom did MA have actual bhakthi and about whom he wanted to sing in his prabhandam? There is no doubt that MA believed his acharya as god (“devu mattrariyEn”) but he deliberately starts his prabhandam with the divine episode of Krishna leela to make his acharya happy. Lakshmana didn’t have a special attachment towards bharata (he even had a lot of hard feelings for the way Seetha rama were sent to forest due to kaikEyi’s plot considering bharata to be part of the plot) but still he talked about bharata while walking along with Sri Rama on the banks of godavari because he knew very well that Rama cherished talking about bharata and his greatness. Similarly here MA starts talking about Krishna and specifically the udharabhandana leela to make his master happy. Swamy Nammazhvar in his divine prabhandam “Thiruvaimozhi” started talking about the paratvam of emperuman. He sang the first padhigam, then he did a small lecture to all those around in the second padhigam. When he wanted to sing the third he was reminded about the sowlabhyam of emperuman so he started singing “paththudai adiyavarkku eliyavan…” and nammazhvar totally lost himself and reached a divine state of comma for about six months. Then slowly azhvar regained his equanimity and continued to sing “paththudai adiyavarkku eliyavan pirargallukku ariya viththagan malarmagal virumbum nam arumperal adigal maththuru kadaivennai kalavinil uravidaiyAppundu eththirum! UralinOdu enainthirundhEngiya elivE” So the Krishna with the mark of udharabhandanam is very close to nammazhvar’s heart and hence that Krishna fills azhvar’s heart but MA’s heart is totally filled with Azhvar. So when MA indicates to his heart it is like asking all of us to have the darshan of Parthasarathi inside nammazhvar’s heart inside MA’s heart. How do you say that it is only parthasarathi emperuman inside azhvar’s heart? Wait till the next posting to know about the same.
