[Guest guest]

Vaikuntanatha Vijayasana BhoomipalaDevesa pankajavilichana choranatyanNikshepvittha Makaraya KarnapasouNatham Namami Vakulabharanena saartham-Sri Manavala Mamunigal Azhwar talks about two relationships between Perumal and a Jivatma in the ten pasurams on Thiruthulaivillimangalam. They are: Relationship between Father and Son The object that tries to know the ultimate truth and the ultimate truth itself (adiyen is not able to express this relationship with appropriate and crisp

terminologies in English) Father and Son Relationship Azhwar reiterates this relationship in the pasuram, sindhaiyaalum sollaalum seygaiyinaalum dEvapirAnaiyE thandhai thaayenRadaindha vaNkurugooravar

satakOpan….. The same fact is reiterated by Kulasekara Perumal in his pasuram on ThirvithuvakkOdu, tharuthuyaram thadaayElun saraNallaal saraNillai viraikuzhuvu malarppozhilsoozh viRRuvakkOttammaanE arisinatthaal eenRathaay akaRRitinum maRRavaLthan aruLninainthE yazhumkuzhavi athuvEpOn RirunthEnE …. (Perumal Thirumozhi 5.1) The object that tries to know the ultimate truth and the ultimate truth itself Azhwar expresses this relationship in the pasuram, thirundhu vEdhamum vELviyum thirumaamagaLirum thaam,malinN, thirundhu vaazhporunal vadakaraivaN thulaivillimangalam, karundhatangkaNNi kaithozhutha annaaLt hotangiyinNnaaLdhoRum, irundhirundhu aravindha lOsana! enREn REnNaindhi rangumE (TVM

6.5.8) Once the soul realizes Perumal, it always contemplates on Him. The word karundhatangkaNNi refers to the soul’s jnAnam. Kanni refers to nayaki who has realized Perumal completely. Kulasekara Perumal discusses the same relationship in the following pasuram: senthazhalE

vanthazhalais seythitinum sengamalamantharancEr vengathirOR kallaa lalaraavaalventhuyarveet taavidinum viRRuvakkOt tammaaunanthamilseerk kallaa lakanguzhaiya maattEnE (Perumal Thirumozhi 5.6) The words sengamalam (lotus) and vengathirOr (sun) refer to the soul and Perumal respectively. Lotus will always blossoms in the sun light, similarly the soul also blossoms with the realization of Perumal. VazhuthinAdan takes us along the fertile bank of Tamiraparani to visit more Perumals.
