Arththu vandalambum sOlai ani thiruvaranganthannul: The gardens in Srirangam

are filled with bees. The bees are filled with happiness and they fly from one

place to other making humming noise(reengAram). As we have already seen the

alwars always have the habit of singing about each and every thing in a divya

desam considering it to be divine. If Thirumangai alwar goes to arimEya

vinnagaram then sees the birds and listening to their voice he says they are

telling ‘Hari! Sharan!”. Andal goes to thiruvarangam and says “Kootil erundhu

kili govinda! Govinda! Endrazhaikkum”. The mental state of alwars are such that

they consider each and every thing in a divya desam to be a bhAgavatan.

Actually even to be born in a divyadesam kOdi jenma punyam is required so there

is nothing wrong to sing about the birds and bees which have the same. Alwar

says ‘ani thiruvaranganthannul’ here thiruvarangam itself is a ani for our

bharatha varsham and for each and every srivaishnava or for thiruvarangam

ranganatha is an ani(jewel). Sri PVP’s vyakhyAnam goes as follows:

 

“kOyililE vandhu sannihithan allAdha pOdhu thAli kattAdha srigal pOl ayittru

leelA vibhuthi”

 

Any lady has her value only when she bears the thirumangalyam in her neck.

Without that a women is barren according to our culture. Similarly when

emperuman is not present in Srirangam the whole leela vibhuthi is considered to

be a women without the mangalya sootram. A women can be without anyother jewel

but never without her mangalyam. Only when she is eligible to wear the

mangalyam all other jewels adds to her beauty. Similarly only when emperuman

lies in Srirangam, does the leela vibhuthi becomes beautiful and is also

eligible to wear any other jewel.

 

 

 

kArthiral anaiya mEni kannanE!: The color of emperuman’s body is like the

dark rain flooded clouds. Like the cloud which showers us with good rain and

makes our lands fertile emperuman also showers his apara karunyam and make our

lives flourish. But then when he equated the clouds to perumal, alwar suddenly

remembers that emperuman’s magimai is greater than the clouds. So Sri PVP

writes, ”mEgaththai kAttilum vyAvriththi”. The clouds do give us rain, but from

a distance and then it vanishes. But emperuman does more than that. He showers

his karunai not like a third person but he runs and comes to our rescue. When

we want he appears in front of us due to his sowlabhyam. Kannan means not only

does he have an eye which is cool and showers krupai on his devotees but also he

makes the eyes of those who are looking at him to become cool. But then how to

have his darshan?

 

 

 

VunnaikkAnum mArkkamondru ariya mAttA manisaril thurisanAya: As soon as alwar

thought of having darshan of emperuman he is unable to find a way to do so. So

now he feels for the same saying I am one low person who doesn’t know the way in

which I will be able to have your darshan. If I have a low birth as an animal

or plant I may not be able to see you but then though I am a man still I am

incapable to find a way to see you. You are waiting to give darshan to your

bhakthas. But I do not have full faith or devotion in you, says alwar.

 

 

 

Then why don’t you just go away instead of standing in my sannadhi? asked

Perumal.

 

 

 

moorkanEn vandhu nindrEn moorkanEn moorkanEnE: Just because I am standing in

front of Perumal’s sannadhi doesn’t mean that I am a great bhakthan. I have

come here due to my stubbornness. I very well know that I am not eligible to

see perumal but then still I want to see him. Alwar calls himself to be a

moorkan-one who wants to get a thing which he very well knows is beyond his

capacity. Since I am a moorkan I come and stand in front of you. Even after

coming here still I remain a moorkan declares alwar (moorkanEn moorkanEnE).
