Paasuram-65

 

 

 

"soodhAvadhu ennenjath theNNinEn sonmAlai

In the previous paasuram, azhvar placed his monition in front of one and all.

Just word of advice will not serve the purpose and hence thirumazhisaipiran

further proceeds to express the way he practiced the same and the results he is

going to obtain due to his activities.

 

 

 

(soodhAvadhu ennenjath theNNinEn) The start for any process is the plan that

goes about in our mind to execute the same. I first meditated on the good deeds

in my mind (nin pugazhil vaigum tam sindhaiyilum maRRinidhO neeyavarkku

vaikundam endraruLum vAn -periya thiruvandhadhi-53) In some cases even in these

worldly affairs just the thought gets all sweetness in mind whether it happens

or not. If it is the case with lowly pleasures what to say about the ever-fresh

memories of the lord -appOdhaikkappOdhu en ArAvamudhamE! SindhanaikkiniyAn! Is

the name of the thiruvaradhana perumal of Sri thirumangai mannan. Just the

thought about the lord is so sweet and mesmerizing.

 

 

 

What to think?

 

 

 

(solmAlai vallavA sindhiththu..) Think about the great works that elaborate the

greatness and amenity of the divine lord, sarvesvaran.

 

 

 

(mAdhAya) A personification of beauty. MAdhu-beauty; All that is cool to eyes

does not give desirable results. Is that the case? Is he filled only with

external beauty?

 

 

 

(mAlavanai) Oh! No he is also the personification of love. Beauty of the mind

is love. Otherwise he is mAyan- one who is filled with surprising enchanting

actions.

 

 

 

What makes him filled with both beauty and love?

 

 

 

(madhavanai) He is lakshminAdhan; the master/husband of Sridevi nachiyar. His

very relationship with piratti makes him filled with both beauty and love.

 

 

 

(yAdhAnum vallavA sindhiththiruppErkku) For those who think about the verses,

that remind about him time and again and also about the divine qualities and

extraordinary greatness of the lord in some way or the other

 

 

 

(vaikundaththil elliyO edam) is there no place for them in vaikunda? Please tell

me.

 

 

 

Sri Vishnu purana says, "Ayasa: smaraNE kOsya smruthO yachchathi shObhanam" What

is the difficulty in thinking about that lord? Just a single thought about him

grants us all the necessary benefits. Just by his thought he grants us even the

ultimate abode since he is filled with the great sowlabhyam, the care the mother

has towards her child (mAdhAya).
