HOW AZWARS HAVE ENJOYED VARIOUS RIVERS.

 

 

 

 

Dear Bagawadas,Adiyen would lilke to give a small write up of the Azwars aubhavam of various Great Rivers.THE GANGES:Thirumangai Mannan in his Periathrumozhi 1.4 decad (EnamunAgi) explains about Lord Badrinarayanan who is "SWAYAMBU"and how great The Ganges is because of the presence of Lord Himself.The same Thirmangai Mannan in his Periathirumadal Pasuram 33 gives importance to The Ganges which is as follows:"PoonGangai munnam punalparaKum nalNadan, miNadum konavillum Neelvel GuruKal kulamadalaithannigaronDrillatha vendithanaJaayanai"Poothathazwar in his Irandam Thiruvanthathi Pasuram 78 explains as to how Shiva got rid of his Brahamahathi Dosham by washing Lord Narayana's Lotus Feet.thavamsaithu NanmugaNe petran tharaninivanDalalppa Neetia PorpaDam sivanDanthathankaianaythum ArakazuvinAn GangaiNeerpeithani Permozinthapin.The same story has been explained by Thirumazichaipiran in his NanMugan Thiruvandathi, Pasuram 9 as:kuraikondu NanMugan kunDiGai NeerpaithumaraiKonda mandirathal Vazthi - karaiKondakanDathan sennimelerakazuvinananDathan Sevadiyei YanguPeriazwar in his Periarvazwar Thirumozhi Pasuram 3.10.4. explains the importance of The Ganges through Anjineyar.When Anjineyar meets SEETHAPIRATTI in Lanka he explains her about the first meeting of Gugan in the Ganges. Varanitha mulaimadaVai, VaiDevi viNappamTheranintha ayodiarKon perunDevi KeTaruLaiKuraNintha Velvalavan Guganodum GangaithannilSEraninDa thozamai konDathum Or aDayalam.In another Pasuram 4.9.5 which is like this:Amayay Gangayay AzkaDalai avaniyai aruvaraiGalaiNanmuGanai NanMarayai Velviyay thakaNayai ThanumaNanYAMUNA:aNDAl in her 5th Pasuram of Thirupavai calls Krishna as:MAyanai maNu vaDa maDurai MainthanaiThuyA PeruNeer Yamunai thuraivanaiAs she enjoys the Leela's of Kannan she has soft corner for Yamuna River also through the above Pasuram.Thirumangai Mannan in his Periaya Thirumozhi Pasuram 10.7.9 mentions about Yamuna which is very interesting:Edumvaliumudia InnamBi piranDa ezuthinGalilEdalar kaNiyananai vaLarthi Yamunai Neeradaponensedan ThiruMaruMarBan kiDanthu thiruvaDiyal MalaipolOdum saGadathai saDiyapinnai urapuvathu anJuvaneIt is a discussion Yasoda had with her friends when she goes for bath in Yamunai about the Leelas of Kannan and at that time Kannan wasonly 7 months old.Now let us see how Azwars enjoyed Poigai River.anDal in her Nachiar Thirumozhi Pasuram 3.2 mentions:idu en pugunthathu ingu anDo Ippoigaiku eVaru vanthaiMaDuvin thuzai mudi Maley Mayane enGalamuDeviDiynmayal aDu Mattom vithaGa Pillai virayelkuDikonDu aravil naDithai kurinDidai KuraipaniyayFinally we will come to Cavery River and what Azwars feel about this:Thondaradipodiazwar in his Thirumalai in Pasuram 23 is very happy to mention that Cavery is better than Ganges. Let us see:Gangien punithamaya Cavery naduvu pattupongunEr paranDu payum PoomBozil arangamthaNulenGalmal iraivan Esan kiDanthThor kiDakaikanDumenGanam maranDu vazKen Ezien EzieneHe feels that Lord Rangantha sleeps in the River bed and so Cavery is better.Ganges has a minus point as Shiva has washed Lords Feet to over come his Bramahathi Dosham .In the same way according to Peria Thirumadal Pasuram 33, Arjunan while he was going for Theertha Yathirai and bathing in the Ganges he meets a beautiful girl named Ulubi.She forces him to have sex with her and when he refuses, she threatens that she will die if he does not agree and ultimately gives her a baby boy. This can be seen from Mahabaratha Athiparvadam, 238 chapter.Of course no river is considered bad as Lord Narayana is in all the rivers. This will be clear from one Pasuram of Thiruvoimozhi 2.1.5Uzhi Thoruzhi Ulagukku Neer konduthoziyarum yamum pol Neerai nehizkindravazia Vaname Neeum MadusooDanPazimil pattu avankaN pAsathal naivaeAccording to Padmashri Sampath Kumar who is writing on Divya Desam, adiyen could notice that SRI RAMA is supposed to have takenbath in one of the river to purify himself of the sins of having killed Ravana. The holy place is "Naimisaranyam"Ultimately in Thiruvoimozi 5.6 decade (kadal Janam ) the Azwar says that Narayana is in 'EVERYTHING' and river is no exception. This is supported by Pasuram 4.9.5 of Periazwar Thirumozhi which clearly says that HE is " Amayay Gangaiay AzkaDalai aVaniyay aruvaraiGalaiNanMuganai Nan Maraiyai Velviyai thakkNaiai ThanumaNan".Ultimately we can be rest assured that any water is purified by mentioning HIS name as HE is Antharyami .adiyen,nochalur seshadri sampath.
