Saranagathi Periya Thirumozhi: 1.7.10

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear Sri Nrusimha BhakthAs :

 

Today , we will study the final , Phala Sruthi of Kaliyan's

Ahobila dhivya dEsa Paasurams:

 

SengaNALi ittu irainjum SingavEL KunRudaya

YengaLeesan EmpirAnai irum-tamizh nooRp-Pulavan

MangayALan mannu tholseer vaNDu aRai thArk-Kaliyan

SenkaiALan senjol-mAlai valavar theethilarE

 

(Meaning & Comments) : In this Phala sruthi Paasuram , we hear the echo of

the ninth paasuram passage: " nammuday NamperumAL " . This echo is heard

in the form of " YengaLeesan EmperumAnai " . " YengaLeesan Emperuman " is

an exact match with " Nammudai NamperumAL " . Like a devotee dedicated to

his or her Kula dhaivam , Kaliyan identifies with AhObila Narasimhan through

the invocation , "YengaL Yeesan EmperumAn ". " YengaL " and "Nammudaiya "

are synonymous . " Yeesan " is SarvEswaran , SarvalOka SaraNyan ,

AhObilEsan whose strength and prowess as SaraNAgatha Rakshakan

is admired as "AhObalam , AhObalam " . Before Kaliyan starts on his

pilgrimage to the next dhivya Desam , ThiruvEkatam , his mind (nallai nenju)

wants to stay right there at AhObilam . Kaliyan tells his "nallai nenju "

that the Lord of Ahobilam will always be " Nammudai NamperumAl "

and advises his nenju that MaalOlan is their undisputed Yeesan

and will stay like that forever . The sounds of Kaliyan's MangaLAsAsanams of

MaalOlan as " Nammuday NammperumAl and YengaL Yeesan EmperumAn "

ring forth today from all the hills and valleys of AhObila KshEthram ,

when the BhakthAs of MaalOlan make their treks to offer their worship

at the nine sannidhis of Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhan .

 

Kaliyan has used again the special Padha PrayOgam of " YengaLeesan

EmperumAn " to convey a personalized depth of Vaathsalyam for

AhObilEsan .

 

Nature of this dhivya dEsam

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

Kailyan selects the fourth line of the First Ahobila Paasuram to pay his parting

tribute in this tenth Paasuram to this dhivya dEsam and its EmperumAn :

 

"SenkaNN AaLi ittu irainjum , SingavEL KunRudaya

YengaL Yeesan EmperumAn "

 

At this Dhivya Desam of SingavEzh KunRam , the red eyed lions bring as

Paadha KaaNikkai the ivory tusks of the elephants that they have killed

and cleansed for use as material to construct throne , bed used in

Lord's kaimkaryam . The Lions of Ahobilam are devout worshippers of

their Lord and show their vivEkam by bringing the most valuable ivory

tusks as nivEdhanam for SarvEswaran . They place the ivory tusks in

front of the Lord and then lie low before Him to offer their worship (ittu

iRainjum AaLi ) .

 

Kaliyan's SamarpaNam

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

Kaliyan presented to the Lord of AhObilam " a Semsoll Maalai " , a garland

made of precious and chaste Tamil words . He introduces himself as " Iru

Tamizh nool Pulavar " ( Expert in the profound grammar of Tamizh language).

Kaliyan identifies himself as the chieftain from Thirumangai Naadu (Mangai

AaLan ) adorning himself especially for the MangaLAsAsanam of the Lord

with a flower garland frequented by the honey bees ( VaNDu aRai thAar

Kaliyan) . That flower garland was adorned earlier by the Lord and

presented to him by archakAs in recognition of the Kaimkarya SrIof

Kaliyan ( One who nulls the terrors of Kali yugam ) . He also

introduces

himself as the possessor of enduring and ancient Kaimkarya SrI

( Mannu thol seer ) gained from from Bhagavath-BhAgavatha kaimkaryam

and as one who is engaged in performing extensive dhAna dharmam

( Semm kai aaLan) .

 

Kaliyan instructs us that those who recite and study the deeper menings of

his MangaLAsAsana Paasurams on Ahobila Narasimhan will not encounter

any inauspiciousness like PrahlAdhAzhwAn (SEmsoll mAlai vallavar theethu

ilar).
