Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 SrimathE rAmAnujAya namaH SrimathE varavaramunayE namaH Panguni, Sarvajith Azhvar 7, Acharya 5 Madhurakavi Azhvar Thirunakshathram : chitthiraiyil chitthirai nAL pANdyakshmAyAm prathhithAvathAramchaithrasthhachithrOTijamUrthhvachUDamkhagaamSajam mathhuram kavInthramSaThhribhaktham SaraNam prapadyE Like the dawn for a sunrise-vakula bhooshaNa bhaskarodayam- madhurakavikal took his divine birth in chitthirai –chitthirai thirunakshathram, much earlier to nammazhvar. We learn about charamaparva nishtai from madhurakaviyazhvar. While equating bharathazhvan-ilaya perumal and sathrughnazhvan, madhurakavikal gains the position of sathrughnazhvan, who always stayed in bharatha kainkaryam. In Srivachana bhooshanam piLLai lokacharya speaks thus while discussing anthimopaya nishtai 408: " vuNda pOdhu oru vArthaiyum, vuNNAdha pOdhu oru vArthaiyum solluvar pathu pEar vuNdiREa; avargaL pAsuram koNdanRu ivvartham aRudhiyiduvadhu. 409 : " avargaLai pArthtuch sirithiruppAr oruvar vuNdiRea; avar pAsuram koNdu ivvartham aRudhiyidak kadavOam " Mamunikal hails the thirunakshathram of madhurakaviyazhvar as ErAr madhurakavi ivvulakil vanthuditthasIrArum chitthiraiyil chitthirai nALpArulakil mattulla AzhvArkaL vanthudittha nALkaLilumutthathu emakku entru nenchE Or THE SECRET BEHIND THE SMILE (PHILSOPHICAL SMILE ) Emphaising the importance of following one's AchAryan, sri piLLai lOkAchAryAr in his srE vachana bhUshaNam suggests that we should take refuge in the AzhwAr who followed this aspect meticulously. Other Azhwars in fact, toed the Lord who is swathanthran. Hence, whenever He gave His divine vision/ encouraged, they talked in glee. Whenever, He vanished or played hide and seek, they talked in misery. sri madhurakavigaL who took refuge in " nam-AzhwAr " as AchAryan and talked HIm as His Lord, never had this problem. He explicitly told 'dhEvu maRRaRiyEan avan pon adi meimayEa " in his kaNNi nun siruthAmbu. Thus, the AzhwAr's prabhandham which transforms as per the fluctuating moods of AzhwAr's due to separation from the Lord or happy when they are with the Lord should not be taken as a premise. sri madhurakavigaL whose steadfast devotion towards AchAryan and singleminded pAsuram-s should in fact be taken as the premise for this purpose. That is what is mentioned by piLLai lOkAchAryar when he says " we should take madhurakavigaL's prabhandham as the guiding beacon. He is the one who laughs at the other azhvars, as his means secured him unfluctutating fortunes " In the above sutras, to emphasize the importance of taking refuge in AchAryan in preference to the Lord, the words " avaraip pArthu sirippAr oruvar vuNdiRea " is mentioned. This is philosophical than literal. Mamunikal recalls in arthi prabandham " Madhurakavi chorppaDiyE iruppAka pettrOm " Madhurakaviyazhar blessed us with one prabandham kaNNinuNchirutthAmpu, which speaks only about his acharya nammazhvar. This is the only one prabandham apart from iramAnusa nUttanthathi, which is written in present past tense. Rest all the prabandhams are mostly written in future tense, expecting the moksham. But madhurakaviyazhvar says kuntramAda thirukkurugoor nambi ennum ennai ikazhvilan kAnminE mamunikal says in upadEsarathinamalai vAyttha thirumanthiratthin matthimamam padamPolsIrttha madhurakavi seykalayaiArtthapugazh AriyarkaLthAngal aruLiccheyal naduvEsErvitthAr thathpariyam thErnthu Let us all sing mangalasasanams to that great madhura (sweet) kavi (poet) who has shown us the charama parva nishtai (AcharyAbhimAnamE uttArakam) through his short and sweet tamil paasurams, the most easiest way to attain moksham.
