Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 ThAmarai A sybol of Defeat and Victory ".Adich chOdhi nE ninRa thAmaraiyAi alarndhadhuvOA? Thiru vAi Mozhi 3-1-1; asks swAmi nam-AzhwAr? Oh! Lord did the thEjas of your divine feet blossomed as lotus ? The Competition: There was a competition between the feet of the Almighty and the lotus. The subject was " who is softer?' The challenge was ' the loser should bear on him, the other' The Divine feet of EmperumAn emerged victorious being very soft and therefore, the ThAmari took the became the seat of the feet of none other than EmprumAn. Thus goes the story of lotus being defeated but how come can we call iot a story of victory also? By virtue of being a loser the lotus eternally carries the 'thiruvadi' of EmperumAn. Can anybody else possess this enviable wealth. Therefore, it is indeed a victory story also. I am not just reeling it off just like that. Let us refer EDu 'kulirthiyAlum, parimaLathAlum,sevviyAlum,thAmarai thiruvaDigaLukku thORRuch sumakkiRAp pOlEA AyiRRu irukkiRAdhu " In all respects, be it scent, temperature, freshness, the lotus loses to the divine feet and appears to be carrying the divine feert. This is for the pAsuram ..thAN thAmarai sumakkum pAdhap perumAnai" 4-5-8 of ThriuvAiMozhi again from Sri ParAnkusan. dAsan' vanamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
