A Peep into Periya Thiru-Mozhi 149

[Guest guest]

thiru-naRaiyUr -thannEr paNdhal

 

 

 

Having longed for the Lord and proclaimed that 'vunakkAgith thONdu patta

nallEanai -vinaigaL naliyAmai nambu -nambE'

thriumangai mannan could not wait till the Lord elevate Him to His place.

 

The intense thirst was tormenting AzhwAr. The source of water is thannEr paNdhal

and thirumangai AzhwAr reaches thiru-naRaiyUr and quenches His thirst. After all

vugandharuLina nilangaL are the divine places of survival for such longingness.

The worldly attachment torments and divya-dhEsams insulates oneself from these

troubles.

 

Sri nam-AzhwAr mentions that reach Him before your Youth goes away from you

--kiLar oLi iLamai keduvadhan munnam.

 

Sri thirumangai mannnan explains the fact that wordly pleasures are temporary.

They change once the youth fades and transforms oneself into senility and

related diseases. Hence, surrender at the feet of the Lord at thru-naRaiyUr is

the message from kaliyan.

 

Hundred pAsuram-s are dedicated to this Lord at nAchiyAr kOil.

 

In each and every pAsuram of this thiru-mozhi (6-4) AzhwAr states

 

naNNu naRaiyUr ]
