ThirumangaiAzhwAr ThirukkuRunthANdakam - verse 4- What a great enjoyment this is!

Dearest all,

In the next two verses, AzhwAr expresses the maanasa

anubhavam and it is due to His limitless grace.

 

kEtkayA NnuRRa thuNtu

kEzhalA yulakang koNta,

pookkezhu vaNNa nAraip

pOtharak kanavil kaNtu,

vAkkinAl karuman^ thannAl

manaththinAl siraththai thannAl,

vEtkaimee thUra vAngki

vizhungkinER kiniya vARE. 4

 

kEzhal aay- As Lord Varaha avatharam,

ulagam koNda – He held the Mother Earth and saved Her;

 

poo kezhu vaNNanaarai- His divine body is so tender

like the freshly blossomed flower;

pOdhara – When He came in;

kanavil kaNdu- Saw Him (in my dream like state as if

You came in physically in front of my own eyes)

yaan kaetka uRRadhu uNdu- I wanted to ask Him

vaakkinaal, karmuam thannaal, manatthinaal – With vaak

(speech), kaaya (Body), manas (mind),

sraddhai thannaal- With PoorNa viswAsam (complete

unflinching faith)

vaetkai meedhoora- the desire for Him continues to

grow;

vaangi vizhunginERkku iniya aaRu– The One who was seen

was enjoyed and swallowed [devoured] by me completely.

What a great way the sweetness of this enjoyment is!

 

What did AzhwAr ask? What did the Lord say? Not told

here. Why? When the Lord appeard in front of the eyes,

(in the dream state of AzhwAr) I asked him: When

devareer (You) took the Huge Boar (Maha varaha

avatharam) form so tender and divine like the freshly

bloomed flower, why did You strain Yourself holding

Mother Earth? – He never responded. Perhaps I have

nothing to do with it and hence He did not choose to

respond. Then I asked Him another thing: With mind,

body and speech, He is so sweet to me, this lowliest

self? How come? He did not respond for this as well.

But I understood that he implied: when I took care of

the Mother earth and saved the same, as it is my

property and belongs to Me, similarly, will I not save

you who is also my property? Then, why did he not say

it explicitly?

 

When He did not even reply to Namaazhwar’s query, will

He respond to mine, anyway? He asked when AzhwAr was

taken to Paramapadham. Here, the Lord appears only in

my Swapna avastha (dream state). He is not yet here

physically. Then why did I ask? I was deceived that He

is here completely. I thought I am able to enjoy Him

in mind, body and speech and with unflinching and

complete faith, I enjoyed Him quenching and satisfying

all my longing and languishing; I completely devoured

His beauty. He allowed Himself to be enjoyed by me

fully. What an upakarakan He is!
