A Peep into Periya ThiruMozhi 217

[Guest guest]

inba mAri and aruL mAri

 

The Third ThiruMozhi of The Eighth Ten follows the line of swAmi Nam-AzhwAr-s

Sixth ThiruvAiMozhi in the Sixth Ten 'mAlukku'

 

The mAlukku ThiruvAiMopzhi runs us through parAnkusa nAyaki's experience of

losing her majesty, colur, composure, conduct, control and so on. This is all

due to separation from the Lord Almighty.'

 

In the same lines, The 'karai edutha suri sangum' Thirumozhi -3rd of the eighth

ten runs us through parakAla nAyaki-s anubhavam-s in this regard.

 

Each pAsuram describes each of parkAla nAyaki's loss to each of EmperumAn's

quality/assets.

 

varai edutha perumAnukku izhandhEan en vari vaLaiyEa - Loss of vari-vaLai -

separation from Sri KrshNA.

kari veruva marupposithArrku izhandhEan en gana vaLaiyEa - Loss to The Lord who

vanquished the kuvalaiyApETam.

The same sentiments further follows

sen kaN mAl ammAnukku izhandhEan en seRi vaLaiyEa -

puNar marudham iRa nadandhARku izhandhEan en pei vaLaiyEa

thayiruNdu vAi thudaitha maindhanukku izhandhEan en vari vaLaiyEa

iraNiyanai -aNiyugiRAl - vudal edutha perumAnukku-izhandhEAn en oLi vaLaiyEA

iru nilanum peru visumbum vuNdumizhndha perumAnukku izhandhEan en seRi vaLaiyEA

sen kamala nAbhanukku izhandhEAn en seRi vaLaiyEA

pEAr ALar perumAnukku izhandhEan en pei vaLaiyEA

 

Thus, in each of the above pAsuram-s due to extreme separation the the thalaivi

loses her composure and names the valour and great qualities of EmperumAn to

which she has lost herself.

 

Sri Nam-AzhwAr --termed his sweet verses as - nectar of rain - inba mAri while

Thirumangai mannan called himself rain of blessings -aruL mAri.

Refer 'adiyArku inba mAriyEa ' 4-5-10 of ThiruvAiMozhi; And what did Kaliyan

state himself - 'aruL mAri -aratta mukku..' Periya ThiruMozhi 3-4-10;

 

SwAmy Nam AzhwAr declares the Lord blessed him the great tamil verses as

'en nenjathuL irundhu ingu irun-thamizh nUl ivai mozhindhu' 10-6-4;

Kaliyan mentions himself as ' irun-thamizh nUl pulavan'1-7-10 of

 

And that is

 

'inba mAri and aruL mAri'
