Paasuram-69

 

 

"sevikkinbamAvadhuvum senkanmAl nAmam

 

puvikkum puviadhuvE kandeer-kavikku

 

niRaiporulAi nindRanai nEr pattEn pArkkil

 

maRaipporulum aththanaiyE thAn"

 

 

 

The greatness of bhagavan/bhagavat vishayam doesn't just stop with preventing us

from the danger of falling into the clutches of yama but at the same time it is

sweet to the ears, refuge to the world, great substance for the poets and the

whole essence of the Vedas.

 

 

 

(sevikkinbamAvadhuvum senkanmAl nAmam) 'vum' indicates the addition of the

previous paasuram's "fear of yama". It not only removes the fear of getting

caught in the clutches of yama, the divine names of the lotus-eyed emperuman

(tAmarai kannan) is divine nectar to all our ears.

 

 

 

(puvikkum puviadhuvE kandeer) Not only for me, the divine names are nectarine

for one and all (the whole world)

 

"ArththA vishannA: sidhilAscha bheethA: kOrEshu cha vyAdhishu varththamAnA:

 

sankeertha nArAyana sabdhamAthram vimuktha duk:kAs sukinO bhavanthu II"

 

 

 

[Those who are inflicted by the tapatrayas (adhyAtmika, Adhideivika,

Adhibhowdika) and are worried about the same, those affected by severe diseases,

just on listening to the narayana manthra are released from their worries and

attain happiness.]

 

 

 

The first two lines of the paasuram elaborate the greatness of the nama and then

azhvar proceeds to give the greatness of the nami (one who possesses the name)

in the last two lines.

 

 

 

(kavikku niRaiporulAi nindRanai) For all others there is lack of divine

qualities and a number of deficiencies, so it becomes the poet's responsibility

to fill the gap. But in the case of emperuman, he is filled with innumerable

kalyana gunas and absolutely no deficiencies making the poet's job easy. The

only problem being how much ever a poet sings it is only a small amount from the

myriad divine qualities (svaroopa roopa guna vibhoothi) of emperuman. 'vachasAm

vAchya muththamam' [one who is the ultimate substance for the words,

sarvEsvaran]

 

 

 

(nEr pattEn) I reached him not by my effort but by chance (yadrichchikam).

Everything happened by his divine unconditional grace.

 

"vidhivAikindindru kAppArAr" (thiru 5-1-1)

 

"vidhinirmidha mEthadhanvayam" (sto.Rat.51)

 

 

 

(pArkkil) But I didn't get satisfied with just attaining him. I tried to

analyse and test him and found;

 

 

 

(maRaipporulum aththanaiyE thAn) The glowing light on top of the Vedas. I have

by chance stepped over only a priceless gem.
