Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Sri:Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Thirukkolur Ammal Varththaigal (Thirukkolur Penpillai Rahasyam) 32. koNdu thirindhEnO thiruvadiyaip pOlE The term thiruvadi refers to both Garuda (periya thiruvadi) andHanuman (siRiya thiruvadi). They got this name because they bothperform the service of carrying the Lord. Just as Adisesha doesvarious services (see previous vArththai), so too Garuda actsas the Lord's friend, His servant, His conveyance, His seat, Hisflag, His umbrella, etc. Azhvars refer many times to the factthat the Lord rides Garuda and performs various acts. During His avatar as Sri Rama, Hanuman carried Him and Lakshmanaon a few occasions. When they first arrive to meet Sugreeva, Hetalks to them and then carries them on his shoulders to Sugreeva.Later when Rama and Lakshmana wage a war against Ravana, hecarries them again on his shoulders so that they do not have tostand on the ground and fight. Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Did I carry the Lord on my shoulderswith affection like the did?"
