Arul Maa Kadal of Thiru SiRu Puliyoor Dhivya Desam

*******************************************************************

In the previous paasuram , Klaiyan sought the Lord's anugraham

so that he will not come close to any one of the narakams .

 

In this paasuram , Kaliyan shares the answer that he recieved

from BhagavAn on how to avoid those narakams by observing

an anushtAnam at SiRu PuliyUr :

 

Muzhu neelamum malar aambalaum aravindhamum viravi

kazhuneerodu madavAr avar kaNN vaay mukham malarum

sezhuneer vayal tazhuvum Siru PulyUr chala sayanam

thozhu neermai athu udayAr adi thozhuvAr thyur ilarE ---7.9.6

 

The key words of the Paasuram are : " SirupuliyUr Thozhum neermai

athu udayAr adi thozhuvAr thuyar ilarE " .

 

(Meaning of the Paasuram ): SirupuliyUr is abundant with ponds ,

where the fully blue Uthpala pushpam (NeelOthpalam = Kumudham ) ,

blossoming white & red Aambal (arakkAmbhal) pushpam , red lotus

(SenthAmarai) and Senkazhuneer flowers bloom . The individual beauty of these

multihued flowers remind one of the soundharyam of the individual limbs of

the charming women : their blue eyes , face , red lips and white teeth .

Kaliyan points out that even if the beauty of the flowers that you see

at the paddy fields and ponds of SiRu PuliyUr may distract you ,

think of the temptations of the lovely ladies and the associated sensory

pleasures but escape from those temptations by taking the cue from " Viraktha

SikhAmaNis " ( Masters of dispassion from SamsAric Temptations) , who

live at SiRu PuliyUr and worship the Lord there . Worship the sacred feet of

those Viraktha BhagavathAs ( TadhiyALs ) , who perform Kaimakryam to

the Lord of SiRu PuliyUr by mind , body and speech every moment of their lives .

Fall at the holy feet of these BhagavathAs and that anushtAnam alone will free You

from all samsAric temptations and resulting sorrows . Through the observance

of this easy-to-practise anushtAnam , You will escape the residence in

the different narakams . This is the method for staying far away from

those fearsome and eternal narakams : " nandhA narakam naNUhA

vahai " .

 

Special Notes :

*******************

Thirumangai points out that worshipping the Lord of SiRu PuliyUr

is the svabhAvam ( neermai) , the intrinsic nature of these BhagavathAs

of this dhivya dEsam . Kaliyan salutes them as " SiRu PuliyUr Thozhum

neermai athu udayAr " . avarkaL antha niyathi , neermai UdayavarkaL .

 

In this paasuram , Kaliyan performs upadEsam on one of the two

central doctrine of Sri VaishNavam as it applies to SaraNAgathAs :

(1) not to committ BhAgavathApachAram , which is treated as

an asahyApachAram by the Lord and (2) the second asahyApachAram

of anyadEvathA worship , which will make saraNAgathy fruitless .

Kaliyan's upadEsam here is the worship of the Lord's BhAgavathAs.

 

Bhagavath bhakthi devoid of Bhagavatha bhakthi is

svaroopa viruddham (Contrary to one's svaroopam

as a sesha- bhUthan, the servant of the Lord ) . Therefore ,

it is important to please those dear to the Lord so that the Lord

Himself will be pleased . Kaliyan is following here the upadEsam of

Swamy NammAzhwAr captured in his "NedumArkkadiamai " and

" Payilum SudaroLi " Paasurams . Kaliyan has also his own pathikam of

ten paasurams ( ThirucchERai Paasurams : Periya Thirumozhi : 7.4 ) ,

which are known as his " NedumARkkadimai " Paasurams . Here are

some excerpts from the ThirucchERai Paasurams , which bring out

the importance of the adoration of the BhagavathAs by us :

 

1 ) ThaNNsERai EmperumAn thALL thozhuvAr KaaNNmin

yenn talai mElArE --- Periya Thirumozhi ( PT) : 7.4.1

( adiyEn will prove to you that the sacred feet of those

BhAgavathAs , who worship the Lord at His cool dhivya

dEsam of ThirucchERai , will be found on the top of my head )

..

 

2) EmpermAn thALL thozhuvAr yeppozhuthum yenn manatthE

irukkinRArE --- PT : 7.4.2 ( Such BhaagavathAs , who worship

Lord SaaranAthan are always residing in my mind ) .

 

3) They are greater than Nithya Sooris and therefore deserve to

be worshipped ( pOthodu punal thUvum PuNNIyarE ViNNavaril

polihinRArE -- PT 7.4.3) .

 

4) adiyEn will never seperate from these BhAgavathAs , who recite

the Sahasra Naamams of the Lord of ThirucchERai ( PErALan

pErOthum periyOrai orukAlum pirihilEnE ---PT: 7.4.4).

 

5) " yenn IyaaRivium koNDAnukku AaLAnArkku aaLAm yenn anpu thAnE"

----PT 7.4.7 ( My mind is slave to those , who recognize that

the Lord

of ThirucchERai is the One , who controls and stills the

chEshtais

of the mischief making Cognitive senses ) .

 

6) In the 8th Paasuram of ThirucchERai , Kaliyan states clearly that

those worshipping the BhagavathAs of the Lord will not be touched by

Yama dharman and as a result , these fortunate ones will never see

the inside of hell ( vemm KooRRam uNNAthu ) ; the ever spreading

sins of the SamsAric world will not touch those , who worship the Lord's

BhAgavathAs ( Jn~Anis) .

 

>From what he elaborated about the BhagavathAs in his ten ThirucchERai

Paasurams , Kaliyan summarizes that in one line of his SiRu PuliyUr Paasuram :

" SiRu PuliyUr chala sayanam Thozhum neermai athu udayAr thuyar ilar "

..

( Those MahAns , whose jeevanam is the worshipping of the Lord of SiRu

PuliyUr have the power to remove all the samsAra bheehti of people ,

who prostrate before them . Those MahAns save the people from entering

into various narakams ( " NandhA nedu narakatthu idai naNuhA vahai "

seyhiRArkaL ) .
