TIRUVIRUTTAM

And

THE AUSPICIOUS QUALITIES OF THE LORD (2)

---

6. He uses the AzhvArs and AchAryas as the Cupid to

attract as many devotees as possible. The AzhvArs and

AchAryas, being very close to the Lord, by their

spiritual knowledge and conduct attract many

desciples, who, in turn become the Lord's devotees.

 

" paRavaiyin pAgan matana cengOl nadAviya kooRRam

kaNdeer "

(The Lord, who is the driver of the bird, Garuda, uses

Cupid's arrows from which none can escape "

 

7. They (AzhvArs and AchAryas) are alike the Lord

Himself.

" tirumAl kOlam cumantu "

(Having the figure of SrIman nArAyaNa)

 

8. The actions and the speeches of the BhAgavtas are

just experimental for the services in SrI VaikuNtam.

" kANkinRakaLum kEtkinRakaLum kANil innAL

pANkunRanAdar payilkinRana, itellAm aRintOm innAL

mANkunRmEnti taNmAlai vEngadattu umbarnambum

cENkunRam cenRu poruLpadaippAn kaRRa tiNNanavE "

(Whatever we see and listen here now from the devotees

are only the rehearsals for their roles in SrI

VaikuNtam)

 

9. Our association with them is similar to the one in

Sri VaikuNtam.

" tiN pooncudar nuti nEmiyajn celvar viNNAdanaiya

vaNpoo mNivalli yArE piripavartAm? "

(Who can leave this beautiful, flowering creeper-girl,

comparable to Sri VaikuNtam of the Lord with the

bright, powerful and sharp wheel in His hand and with

full of wealth?)

 

10. The Lord, along with them, has taken the Titumala

as His resort.

" mAyOn vadatiruvEnkada nAda "

(Such a wonderful Lord is residing very much in the

North TiruvEngatam)
