Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hari: I kindly need to know which Alwar pasuram and pasuram number regarding the song about Kani Kannan. The song denotes that Perumal should leave the altar because Kani Kannan was banished from the village. The song goes like that if I am not mistaken Kindly Pls help Thank you Rajiv ******* "kaNikaNNan" is an ardent disciple of ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr. Thirumazhisai AzhwAr, actually had learnt tried all other religions/doctrines., namely., Buddhism, jainism, advaitA and in fact became a staunch devotee of SivA (with a name siva vAkyA). pEyAzhwAr argued with him, showed him evidences from vEdAs ans smrithis to claim sriman nArAyaNA as the supreme deity, and finally initiated him into vaishNavic philosophy and named him bhaktisArar. AzhwAr later declares his struggles: sAkkiyam kaRROm samaN kaRROm, sankaranAr/ Akkiya Agama nool arinthOm bhaktiyAl/ senkatkariyaAnai sErnthOm yAm theethilamE/ yenkatkariyathOnRil/ "After my futile efforts to know the supreme principle through jainism,buddhism, and saivic philosophy, I am blessed by sriman nArAyaNa to take refuge at the Lotus feet of Sri Devi and have escaped all problems and misfortunes since then." BhaktisArar visited various sthalams (temples) and came to Thiruve:ka (bhoothathAzhwAr's birthplace) and was allured by the beauty of the Lord and the scenic beauties and decided to stay there for some time. Our kaNikaNNan, too joined bhaktisArar and served him as an ardent disciple (sishyA) to AzhwAr. There was also an old lady (unmarried) who devotedly,whole heartedly served AzhwAr by cleaning, mopping, drawing "kOlams" etc.. AzwAr was greatly impressed by her indefatigable service and devotion towards azhwAr and appreciated her openly; The old lady was moved and regretted that she joined him at this age only and not when she was able so that she could have continued to serve for more years. Hearing that, azhwAr's kind heart melted and showered his graceful look (katAksham) on the lady, who was immediately tranformed into an extremely beautiful young lady. Later, during a "nagarvalam", the pallava king saw her in azhwAr's place and married her. After some years, when the king actually noticed that his queen is not ageing and has got the same youthful look while he was getting old, he found out that it was AzhwAr's divine katAksham that did the magic. He asked kaNikaNNan who was summoned to the court to make a request to AzhwAr on behalf of the king, kaNikaNNan refused saying he and the AzhwAr will not yield and sing for a mortal. That enraged the king and he ordered to banish kaNikaNNan from his kingdom. KaNikkaNNan said "this is not the only sthalam for me; The entire world is His" and walked off. He went to azhwAr and narrated the incident which forced him to leave that place and begged for his pardon for leaving him; AzhwAr felt very sad that his dearest friend/devoted disciple is leaving him. He did not feel like staying there without kaNikaNnan. Hence, AzhwAr, too decided to push off from Thiruve:ka. AzhwAr went straight to the temple and prayed wholeheartedly with tears in his eyes and requested the Lord also to come along with them, as he can not think of living without the Lord. kaNikaNNan pOginRAn kAmaru poon kacchi/ maNivaNNA1 nee kidakka vEndA/ sennAppulavanum pOginrEn neeyum unRan/ painnAgappAi suruttikkoL/ " kaNikkaNNan is going out of kanchi maNivaNNa, I am also leaving with him. You don't have to lie down here any more; You also roll your "nAkam" (serpent bed) and follow me" and OUR LORD FOLLOWED THE AZHWAR WITH THE SNAKE ROLLED AND TUCKED UNDER HIS ARMS. The king next day got the news that the temple is desolated and the entire city looks dark and lifeless, he understood his folly and rushed immediately to chase the trio. He caught them on the way and prostrated on the ground, repenting for what he had done; requested them to forgive him for his mistake and to come back to kAnchi. AzhwAr and kaNikaNNan, understanding the sincerity of his regret and repentance requested the Lord again to return and stay at kAnchi. Needless to say, the Lord obeyed. kaNikaNNan pOkkozhindAn kAmaru poon kacchi/ maNivaNNA1 nee kidakka vEndum/ sennAppulavanum pOkkozhindEn neeyum unRan/ painnAgappAi viritthukkoL/ It is not found in the verses of Thirumazhisai AzhwAr namely naanmukhan ThiruvanthAthi or Thirucchandhaviruttham that are part of 4000, but are separate individual verses composed by AzhwAr. Hope this helps Regards Namo narayana dAsan madhavakkannnan [on behalf of Moderator- Sri Anbil Ramaswamy Swami] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
