ThirumangaiAzhwAr ThirukkuRunthANdakam - verse 13- I am blessed to enjoy seeing Him in front of my eyes.

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all,

 

Thus He has entered into my eyes, and in order to let

such people like me to praise Him, enjoy Him and utter

His divine name with saliva laden mouth, He has come

here at Srirangam and is showing Himself so

gracefully. Now I am blessed to enjoy seeing that with

my pair of eyes- says AzhwAr.

 

 

irumpanan RuNta neerum

pOtharum koLka, enRan

arumpiNi pAva mellAm

akanRana ennai vittu,

surumpamar sOlai soozhn^tha

arangkamA kOyil koNta,

karumpinaik kaNtu koNten

kaNNiNai kaLikku mARE 13

 

ananRu irumbu uNda neerum- even the water that is

absorbed by the hot iron

podharum- does not go waste; It yields results

koLga- there is no doubt about it; let me explain.

enthan – my

arumpiNi paavam ellaam- all cruel sins that would give

rise to karmic diseases (have all disappeared and

burnt to ashes)

en kaNN iNai- my pair of eyes

surumbamar solai soozhndha – the bee humming

garden-filled and surrounded

arangam – Srirangam divya desam (in that)

maa koil koNda- considering this as the most important

and main temple

karumbinai- the sweetest Lord Ranganathan(who is like

the sugarcane)

kaNdu koNdy kaLikkum aaRu- enjoy seeing Him (in front

of my eyes)

 

I drank the Lord who came and entered into my eyes

with His abhaya mudrA. I thought that would disappear

like the water that is sprinkled on the hot iron;

Instead, it stayed and did lot of other things as

well. It has burnt all my paapams. All my karmic

diseases have been burnt to ashes. The paapams were so

huge that they could have given me diseases for very

many births and ages. All of them have been burnt.

Immediately, I am not getting a great urge to see Him

in front of my eyes physically; the dirty, filthy

body, saliva – all those thinking has gone; I want to

see Him in this most beautiful garden filled Srirangam

divya desam. He is so sweet like the sugarcane. He has

(on His own accord) considered this place as His

permanent place to stay. My pair of eyes enjoy seeing

Him here. My eyes have begun to enjoy this most

beautiful form here in Srirangam.

 

The heated iron when water is sprinkled on it- absorbs

the water; Thought the water disappears; But it is not

going away; It does have an effect on iron and it does

some chemistry. Not I understand similarly the Lord

who has entered into my eyes have had such an enormous

effect in me who is like the heated iron, burning and

scorching with thaapa thraya. All such thapathraya and

the sins have now been destroyed like the water that

takes away the Heat from iron. Now my Athma enjoys the

Lord after all the dirt has been removed. AzhwAr can

be compared to water as well. Thus the water (i.e.

myself) is not going away or perishing. The water is

being used.

 

Sri Satakopan Swami’s comments: Here the Azhwar

describes his experience after the Lord appeared to

him as he closed his eyes in fear. He says that he

" devoured " the beauty of the Lord, who showed up

inside his closed eyelids. He confesses that he was

afraid that the appearance of the Lord would

evaporate and disappear like the water ,when hot iron

is dipped into it .Instead, he says that the " hot and

thrilling " experience of the Lord's appearance inside

his closed eyelids stayed there and caused the utter

destruction of his ancient sins. The queasy thought

of his unfitness to utter the Lord's name

disappeared.

 

He says that a great desire rose inside him to open

his eyes and enjoy the beauty of the Lord of

Srirangam. He says that his sins were gone now and

that he became engaged in the delectable experience of

tasting the physical beauty of Lord Ranganatha.
