Dearest all,

 

Kulasekara AzhwAr has written only one Tamil

composition called PerumAl Thirumozhi comprising 105

verses, roughly divided into ten decades. The other

one is in Sanskrit “Mukund mala”.

 

These tamil verses are divine and very sweet full of

anubhavam and laden and impregnated with bhakti. The

first three decads are devoted more to the glory of

archA moorthy of Srirangam. He specifically expresses

his zeal, craving for having the divine darshan at

Srirangam, the yearning to join and spend the great

time with the company of bhAgwathas at Srirangam. He

declares his madness after God . In the next few

decads, he sings the glory of Thirumala Srinivasan,

the archA moorthy at ThiruvEnkatam and Thillai chithra

kootam and ThiruvitthuvakkOdu, a religious shrine at

Kerala.

 

In the last decades, he expresses his mystic

experience of God by enjoying the few episodes from

Srimad Bhagaewatha and Srimad Ramayanam. He has

expressed very beautifully imagining himself in the

role of Devaki as to how she had lost the child leela,

pranks of Kutti KaNNan, and weeps over her plight at

being forced to forsake the joy of being with Kutti

KaNNan and enjoying his mischief. AzhwAr also poses

himself as Yasodha and sings lullaby to Lord Rama

puring out motherly affection towards Rama as a baby.

AzhwAr also pours out as King Dasaratha and laments

over Rama’s exile in the forest.

 

In these wonderful divine verses, the Bhagawath

kainkaryam and BhAgawatha kainkaryam and Bhagawatha

sEshathvam are spelt out explicitly and clearly.

 

Swamy Desikan salutes this AzhwAr's prabhandham as

‘Nann PoruL sEr Thirumozhi’ (the divine utterances

that have deep and auspicious doctrines(meanings)

embedded in them. These uniquely Sri VaishNavA

doctrines are Lord's Parathvam, Prapatti at His sacred

feet, Sesha-Seshi relationship, Bhaktha Paaratantryam

(subservience to BhakthAs), fearlesslness (nirbbhayam)

after SaraNAgathi and others.

 

The first verse:

 

iruLiriyas sudarmaNiga Limaikkum neRRi

inaththuththi yaNipaNamaa yiranga Laarntha

aravarasap peruncOthi yanantha Nnennum

aNiviLangu muyarveLLai yaNaiyai mEvi

thiruvarangap perun^agaruL theNNeerp ponni

thiraikkaiyaa ladivarudap paLLi koLLum

karumaNiyaik kOmaLaththaik kaNdu koNdu en

kaNNiNaika LenRukolO kaLikkum naaLE 1.1

 

In the land of divya desam of Srirangam the darkness

is completely dispelled and shattered by the

resplendent brightness that emanates from the forehead

and the gem stones on the heads of thousand headed

AdhisEshan, the king of snakes, mahaa thEjasvI,

ThiruvananthAzhwAn and on his most beautiful, white,

cool body as the bed, reclines Periya PerumAL Azhagiya

ManavaaLan, the most beautiful divine Lord Sri

Ranganathan the personification of Sowkumaaryam,

Soundharyam and laavaNyam, at whose lotus feet gently

touches the cool crystal clear waters of the river

cauveri as if it washes and worships the Lord’s Lotus

Feet. When will my eyes be blessed to see and enjoy

sEviccufying such Most Beautiful Periya PerumAL?

 

It is in similar lines of Swami Ramunja’s anubhavam

when Sri Ramanuja asserts in Gadyatrayam.. mamakula

nAtham, mama kula daivatham..

 

kadhaaham bhagavantam narayanam mama kula natham mama

kula daivatham...sakshaat karavaaNi chaksushaa?..

 

Sri Ranganathan is Our Kula nAThan; Our Kula dhanam.

Our Kula Deivam.
