A Peep into Periya ThiruMozhi 211

[Guest guest]

KaNDavar tham manam vazhangum kaNNapuram

 

Taking cue from the introuduction let us take up to relevant points.

 

1. AzhwAr reaches the point of feminine aspect and even in that phase, cannot

talk for herself but her mother describes her situation and

2. She forgets her nature and also the nature of the Almighty and mumbles

'kaNNapuram-kaNNapuram' The reason for this is that The KaNNapuram EmperumAn is

One who defeats all the nature with HIs SElam.

 

The natue of the soul is to wait for the Lord with conviction. The thalaivan or

the Almighty should come and rescue us. HOwever, the longingness-thvarai -does

not permit this and Thirumangai AzhwAr becomes parakAla nAyaki and yearns for

ThirukkaNNapuram.

 

She desires kaNNapuram and the Lord therein. She describes the attitude of the

inhabitants there and the Greatness and beauty of the EmperumAn. All this in

the first ThriuMozhi of the 8th Ten -Silai ilangu pon Azhi..

 

1.kalai ilangu mozhiyALar kaNNapuram - The sReVaishNavites are exponents in sAsthram-s.

2.karuvarai pOl ninRAnai kaNNapurathammAnai - Savarip perumAL is like anjana malai.

3.kanni mA madhiL pudai sUzh- The divine wall of thirukkaNNapuram-one of the seven walls.

4.kAr vAnam ninRadhirum kaNNapuram - The picteresque sky therein above.

5. kadik kamalam kaL vugukkum kaNNapuram- the nature/s bounty and beauty.

6.kAr Ar vayal amarum kaNNapura - the agrarian activities embellish.

7.kai vaLarkkum azhal ALar kaNNapuram- The sincere activities of the people there.

8. kaRRa nUl maRai ALar kaNnapuram - The educated srEvaishNavites.

9. kaNDavar tham manam vazhangum ThirukkaNNapuram.

Those who see Him will lose their mind and become frenzied on Him. This happened

in the case of KulasEkarAzhwAr who also mentions the same words in

'kaNdavar tham manam vazhangum kaNapurathu en karu-maNiyEa' 8-2;

 

And Here again Sri Thirumanagai Mannan mentions this as his prediament in the

ninth pAsuram of the first thirumozhi 8-1-9;

 

Those who See the Lord Here give themselves up to Him

voluntarily-spontaneoulsy.Such is His beauty and SElam and is AzhwAr an

exception to this?
