A Peep into Periya Thiru-mozhi -15

[Guest guest]

'Anaiyin thuyaram thErap puL vUrndhu"

 

It is known to one and all that sri parthasarathy is the prime

presiding deity in thiruvallikkEANi. He is the one for the

'puRappAdu' for Ekadhasi or amAvAsyai. Any other important events He

is given preference to others like narashimhA, rangA , rAmar or

varadhar.

 

Next in the list is sri narasimhA who has got a big brahmOtsavam for

Him also, like parthasarathy and has a big fan club.

 

The thiruvallIkkEani em-perumAn-s are sung with devoiton by sri

kaliyan in the third thiru-mozhi of the second ten. "viRperu-villum,

kanjanum , mallum, vEAzhamum,pAganum, vEzha.." 2-3-1;

 

Nevertheless, sri varadhar is the one who is highlighted for this

thiru-mozhi by swAmi periya-vAchAn piLLai.Sri ranganAthar is also

quoted in this regard.

 

The vyAkyAnam runs as follows " manushyarAyiruppAr

Human devotees desire to worship the Lord with flowers and the like.

This apart, even an elephant desired to worship with fresh flower but

got itself into hindrance and the Lord rushed to the spot Himself ,

removed the obstacle and consoled the elephant and fulfilled its

desire. Over and above this, the Lord still reclines there in

thiruvallikkEANi to obliterate any such difficulties"

 

Here, the gajendra mOksham is narrated but the vision is of sri ranganAthar -ennai ALudaiyappan.

 

Why is that gajEndhra mOksham episode is taken as primary for this

thiru-mozhi? In the preceding thirumozhi, the Lord's auspicious

quality of lowering Himself for the sake of devotees was narrated. In

this though these qualities are mentioned, the fact that the Lord help

even animals is of utmost importance.
