[sri ramanuja] A Peep into Periya Thirumzohi 311

[Guest guest]

Kaliyan's andhAdhi

 

It is well known that mudhal AzvArgaL's divine works, Sri Thirumazhisai AzvAr's nAnmugan thriuvandhAhi and svAmi Nam AzvAr-s aruLich cheyal are all andhAdhi-s.

 

Thirumangai mannan gives a dose of this in the maN ilangu bhArathathai -thriumozhi 11-3;

 

After the unbearable feelings make her cross the composure, she declares she loses herself to the great deeds of EmperumAn.

 

SvAmi Nam AzvAr in the 'mAlukku' 7-6 ThiruvAi-mozhi loses herself in similar fashion.

 

The Lord who measured the worlds, who demolished the asuran rAvANA, who went in person and rescued the divine elpehant 'GajEndrAzvAn'

The sage who blessed us with four vEDham-s, The kaNNan who slowly walked and swallowed butter

 

All these deeds EmperumAn performed by transforming Himself for the sake of devotees -thannai azhiya mARi- describes svAmi PeriyavAchAn piLLai.

 

maN ilangu bArathathia thEar vUrndhu - mEasuring the worlds -11-3-1;

then ilangai EDayitha - DEcimating lankA -11-3-1;

 

parunThAL kaLiTrukku aruL seidha perumAn -11-3-2;

 

mARai nAngum odhiya munivar -11-3-3;

 

meLLa nadandithu veNNei vuNDugandhAr -11-3-4

 

and parkAla nayki loses herself
