A. SrImad tirukkuDandai ANDavan:

perumAL also represents the mountains, the sky, the bhUmi, the cool water, the

'moon', the 'sun' and all the stars; being antaryAmi in them, He preserves the

world.

 

The mountains provide things for people to enjoy and instruments for providing

happiness; the sky gives the place for us to experience these happy moments.

The bhUmi also presents us with materials for indulgence. The 'moon' provides

coolness. The 'sun' provides the warmth to counteract the coolness. The stars

show the good and bad for the people and are part of their lives. All these are

manifestations of perumAL who lives in tirumaNik kUDam.

 

tirumaNik kUDam is a place with wide streets, paddy fields, groves, tall

houses, etc. The spring breeze picks up the fragrance from all these places and

gently blows around on all the four directions. The breeze also absorbs the

sweet smell of the ladies living in the houses that are in the midst of the

fertile paddy fields.

 

B. SrI PVP:

kunRamum … endai – the inhabitants of the earth are provided with bhoghya

vastu-s and places to enjoy them; the providers of these enjoyments, namely, the

mountains, the sky, the bhUmi, the cool water, the cool moon, the warm sun and

the stars like aSvni etc are materializations of emperumAn, who is the antaryAmi

of all.

 

And, where is He living?

 

manRamum ….. tirumaNi kUDattAnE – He is in tirunAngUr tirumaNikkUDam, where

the breeze spreads different kinds of fragrances picked up from the streets,

fields, groves, gardens, houses, ladies living in those houses etc.

 

C. SrI UV:

Just as the breeze takes the fragrance from the fields, groves etc into the city

with its tall houses, it also picks up the city fragrances and smell from the

padmini jAti ladies living in those houses into the fields.
