'ThirukkuRaL in EDu 2

[Guest guest]

Dear Balaji SundaraRajan swAmi,

 

Having seen a thirukkuRaL in the first ten let us go to the tenth ten

where the thirkkuRaL has been referred to.

 

'thagavailai thagavilaiyEA nE kaNNA, thada mulai thoRum

puNarchikkARA suga veLLam visumbiRandhu..." 10-3-2 of thiruvoimozhi.

 

Here, parAnkusa nAyaki --AzhwAr- mentions that the happiness that is

obtained from the togetherness of AzhwAr and the Lord will permeate

through the skies and reach the parama-padham. The happiness is not

just likened to parama-padham but is expressed as exceeding the

hihgest happiness.

 

Is this possible?

 

Here the thirukkuRaL referred to is:

 

'thAm vEzhwAr men-thOl thuyilin inidhi kol

thAmaraik kaNNAn vulagu' 1103.

 

Can the paramapadham of thirumAl-the lotus eyed Lord- can give happiness like the lover's shoulders.

 

Here the happiness of the lovers is expressed as that of exceeding the

highest happiness i.e parama-padham,.

 

For lovers their happiness is supposed to be biggest ignoring all

other things. Incidentlaly, it should be observed that thiruvaLLuvar

has mentioned that the highest happiness as that of thAmarai-k-kaNNAn

vulagu.

 

 

I just mentioned a few places where i remembered offhand. You may please continue.

 

regards
