Eighth Wonder - Concluding

One who Grants Parai (Moksham)

 

Known as Mukundan, Sriyapathi is always eager to have all of us in His

abode. Would it be possible for us to get to that state of moksha once

He immediately grants that, or rather logically after surrendering

completely to Him. This question is well answered by Parankusan, also

known as VazhuthinAdan in his thiruvaymozhi pasuram on Sowrirajan

(9.10). Here is his beautiful pasuram,

charaNamaa kumthana thaaLatainN thaarkkelaam,maraNamaa NnaalvaikunN

thamkotuk kumpiraan,araNamainN thamathiL choozthiruk kaNNapuram,

tharaNiyaa Lan,thana thanbarkkan paagumE

 

Once we surrender totally to Him, Sowrirajan will grant Moksham only

at the time when we leave the body in this birth. Azhwar happily

sings about the mathil (wall) of this beautiful temple. This

anubhavam can be referred to the first pasuram in the same pathikam,

maalainNaN Niththozu thezuminO vinaiketa,kaalaimaa laikama lamalar

ittunNeer,vElaimO thummathiL choozthiruk kaNNapuraththu,

aalinmE laalamarnN thaanadi yiNaigaLE

 

Azhwar asks all of us to worship Sowrirajan, whose abode on this earth

is completely surrounded by walls that are hit heavily by sea waves.

He further continues to request all of us to offer flowers at His

lotus feet in the mornings and evenings.

 

Here is another one in the jewel,

aNiyanaa kumthana thaaLatainN thaarkkelaam,piNiyum chaaraa piRavi

ketuththaaLum,maNiponEynN thamathiL choozthiruk kaNNapuram

paNimin,nNaa Lumpara mEttithan paadhamE.

 

Azhwar reiterates the fact that when we surrender to Him, He will stay

close to us. He is the one, who is again surrounded by ramparts of

gold and emerald.

Nammazhwar, who heads the prapannar jAthi, makes our task little

easier by asking all of us to just recite the name of Divya Desam,

Thirukkannapuram and sing these ten pasurams. This is more than

enough to get rid of the allal (suffering, which is the cycle of

samsara). The inseparable and most significant relationship with Sri

is beautifully referred to by Azhwar when singing this phala sruti

pasuram. AllimAdhar amarum is the most important aspect that fetches

moksham to all the souls caught in samsara. Let us bring back the

anubhavam of Andal in referring ThiruVenkadam as forest and

Thirukkannapuram as nagar. Both these Perumals are elephants in our

sampradayam. With this combined anubhavam of Azhwar Goshti let us

refer back to Nammazhwar and conclude the series with the following,
