A Peep into Periya Thriu-Mozhi 55

[Guest guest]

sindhanaik-iniyAi

sweet for thoughts

 

The Lord Almighy has exclusive places of resorts like 'parama-padham'

'thiru-p-pArk-kadal' and 'divya-dEsam-s'. Overlooking all these

divine spots, em-perumAn enters the mind of AzhwAr and settles down

therein.

 

AzhwAr is overwhelmed. Instead of he approachihng Him, it has gone the

other way round. The immense blessing thus moves AzhwAr and in this

thiru-mozhi he again and again talks of this event. AzhwAr proudly

mentions "Oh! Lord, You have come and voluntarily entered the heart

of your subservient soul" --'vandhu-vunahdu adiyEan manam pugundhAi".

 

In the next pAsuram this is again narrated -'aravaNai vEali thalaik

kidandhAi-adiyEan manathu irundhAi' 3-5-2;

 

'pundhiyEan manathEa pugundhAiyai pOgal-ottEan' 3-5-5;

 

'..en manam pugundhadhu' 3-5-3;

'adiyEan manam pugundha, ap-pulava puNNiyanE,

pugundhAiyai-p-pOgal-ottEan'3-5-7;

'aruL purindhu ingu ennuL pugundhAi.." 3-5-8;

 

 

Thus, it may be observed that thriumangai mannan regarded the Almighty

entering his mind voluntarily as a great grace.

Perhaps, that is why, the yearning and desire for the Lord was

lingering in his mind and made his thoughts sweet and sweet.

 

This is why he termed the Lord as 'sindhanai-kku-iniyAi' -sweet for the thoughts.

 

The thiruvArAdhanap perumAL of thriumangai AzhwAr can be worshipped

even today at thiru-nagari who is none other rthan

 

"sindhanai-kku-iniyAn'
