[Guest guest]

Arul Maa Kadal of Thiru SiRu Puliyoor Dhivya Desam

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

In the ninth Paasuram , Kaliyan suggests that he parted

company with the charming ladies known for their beauty

( Malark-kaNNAr MadavAr ) because of his unquenchable

love for the Dhivya MangaLa vigraham of the Lord , which

is the bhOga sthAnam for MahA Lakshmi :

 

Karu Maa muhil UruvA ! Kanal UruvA ! Punal UruvA !

Peru-mAl varai uruvA ! PiRa uruvA ! ninathu uruvA !

ThirumAmahaL Maruvum SiRu PuliyUr Sayanatthu

Aru-mA-kadal-amudhE ! unathadiyE SaraNAmE

 

(Meaning ) : Oh Lord with a body having the hue of a large ,

dark rainy season 's cloud ! Oh Lord who is the antharyAmi

of Agni ! Oh BhagavAn having water ( Jalam ) as Your body !

Oh Prabhu with gigantic mountains as Your Sareeram !

Oh Lord dwelling inside Vaayu as its antharyAmi Brahman !

Oh Lord known for Your uniquely auspicious ThirumEni ,

which is amenable for meditation (SubhAsraya ThirumEni) !

Oh Nectar , who arose out of a rare and huge ocean

and who is enjoyed with great love by MahA Lakshmi ! Your

sacred feet alone are my UpAyam and UpEyam ( Means

and goal for the PurushArTam of MOksham ) .

 

Special Notes :

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

In this Paasuram , Kaliyan recognizes the Lord as the antharyAmi

( indweller ) of pancha bhuthams like Agni ( Kanal UruvA ) , Vaayu .

AakAsam , Earth , appu ( Punal UruvA ) and of achEthanams like

the mountains ( Peru Maal varai UruvA ) ; Kaliyan also compares Him

with some objects like the dark , bluish-black cloud of the rainy

season !

He is not only the antharyAmi of some vasthus but also resembles them .

Kaliyan enjoys the Lord's own , unmatched SubhAsra ThirumEni ( Ninathu

UruvA ) . Since The EmperumAn of SiRu PuliyUr is enjoyed in so many

ways , He becomes the nectar arising out of a rare ocean .

 

The limitless auspicous attributes of the Lord's ThirumEni (Sacred body)

is referred to in this Paasuram as " Karu Maa Muhil UruvA " . The manifestation

of the JagadhAdhAra tatthvam ( being the foundation of the world) is recognized

as " Kanal UruvA ". Alternatively , for His enemies , His body is a scorching one

like Agni . For His devotees , His body is cool and comforting like a cool pond

( Punal Uru) . His ease of access by all and simplicity inspite of His unamtched

greatness are characterized by HIs Soulabhya and Souseelya GuNams .These

noble traits are saluted with the name of " PiRa uruvA " . The fact that His body

alone has Subham + aasrayathvam ( SubhAsrayam ) is saluted by Kaliyan as

" Ninathu UruvA " . The PirAtti at SiRu PuliyUr has the name of ThirumAmahaL .

She sits on the vast and beautiful chest of the Lord and enjoys Her union

with Him immensely . He Himself arose out of a rare and gigantic ocean as

the nectar like His PirAtti rose from the Milky Ocean as " PeNNamuthu ".

He is the Amudhu , AarAvamudhu . He is the nectar , which arose out of

the Para VAsudEva roopam . This nectar enjoys the other nectar that

arose from the milky ocean during the churning of it by Himself .

 

Thirumangai performs his SaraNAgathy to the dhivya Dampathis of

SiRu PuliyUr with the submission : " Unathu adiyE SaraNAmE " .

AdiyEn has no gathi other than You . " Puhal onRumilA adiyEn

Ninnadi puhunthEnE " . Your sacred Thiruvadi is both UpAyam

and UpEyam for adoiyEn .

SeerAr nedumaRuhil SiRu PuliyUr Chala Sayanatthu

yErAr muhil VaNNan tanai ImayOr PerumAnai

kArAr Vayal Mangaikku iRai Kaliyan oli mAlai

PaarAr ivai paravit-thozhap-pAvam payilAvE

 

( Meaning) : SiRu PuliyUr dhivya dEsam has long and beautiful

streets and is filled with all kinds of wealth ( Iswaryam) . Kaliyan

is the Lord of the city state of Thirumangai known for its fertile

paddy fields looking dark because of the density of the crops .

Kaliyan of Thirumangai has presented the auspicious sound

garlands to the Lord of SiRu PuliyUr , who is the Lord of

the eternally liberated Jeevans ( Nithya Sooris ) . When one

learns and uses these Paasurams of Kaliyan for worshipping

the Lord of SiRu PuliyUr , their sins will be destroyed and Narakams

will not enter into their lives . The Lord will grant them the boon of

" Narkatthinidai NaNuhAmal irukkum " status. Narakams will be far away

for them due to the grace of Moksha DhAyaka Mukundhan .

" yErAr Muhil VaNNan " ( One with the beautiful hue of the Rainy

season Clouds) , who is the " ImayOr Talaivan " ( Nithya Soori Naathan )

that responds to the tender appeal of Kaliyan's Paasurams and grants

the reciters the boons of freedom from sins and " PiRavAmai " (

Moksham ).

adiyEn enjoyed the visit to ThirumAmahal samEtha Sri Baala RanganAthan's

sannidhi at SiRu PuliyUr with the sweet sound of Kaliyan oli Malai ringing

in my ears . Hope You did too !
