[Guest guest]

Sri:Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Thirukkolur Ammal Varththaigal (Thirukkolur Penpillai Rahasyam) 38. avan mEni AnEnO thiruppANar pOlE Thiruppanazhvar was born as an ayonija in a field in Uraiyur, near Srirangam. He was picked up by a person from the clan of Pana's (singers) and brought up. A he grew up, he would stand in the banks of Kaveri river on the other side of Srirangam with a veena in his hand, and sing the praises of Lord Ranganatha. The Lord decided to get him to Srirangam and acted a play through His brahmin devotee Lokasaranga Muni.Lokasaranga Muni would go to the banks of Kaveri every day to fetch water for the temple. One time, he saw Thiruppanazhvar there singing. He tried to attract his attention to ask him to move away while he fetched the water, but as Azhvar was immersed in singing he did not

take notice. So, Lokasarangar threw a stone at him to get his attention. The stone hit Azhvar's head and caused him to bleed. Azhvar then realized what was happening and stepped away. Lokasarangar then returned to Srirangam, where the Lord asked him to apologize to the great devotee Thiruppanazhvar and bring him into Srirangam.Lokasarangar returned to Azhvar and apologized to him for his conduct and told of the Lord's command to him. When Azhvar refused to set foot in Srirangam, Lokasaranga Muni offered to carry himon his shoulders. As it was the Lord's command, Azhvar could not refuse.When Lokasarangar brought Azhvar in front of Lord Ranganatha inside the Srirangam temple, Azhvar burst out with the magnificent Amalanadhi Piran pasuram enjoying the divine body of the Lord from feet to the head. At the end of the ten pasurams, Azhvar merged with Lord Ranganatha.Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Did I

Dear Sriman Venkatesan,

 

I have a small observation. It is not Azhwar's literally merging with the Lord, which is not there in our sampradayam. So it could only mean getting completely immersed in His thirumEni sowdaryam, as can be understood from the story and also the pASurams. Hope I am right.

Dear Sri Vishnu, I think the usage of "merged with the Lord" was misleading. What I was trying to say was that Azhvar disappeared into the Lord (that is attained the divine thirunAdu) at that moment, as is mentioned in the 6000padi Guru Parampara Prabhavam - "AzhvArum akhilarum kANumpadi aNiyarangan thiruvadigaLilE antharbhaviththaruLinAr" and as mentioned by Thirukkolur Ammal "avan mEni AnEnO". adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan TCA VenkatesanSrimahavishnu Vinjamuri <vsmvishnu wrote: Dear Sriman Venkatesan, I have a small observation.
