Pasuram: Ungal PuzhaikkadaiDivyadesam: Therazhundur

In this pasuram, Andal speaks of some flowersthat grow in ponds - "vAviyuL sengkazhunIrvAy negizhndhu Ambal vAy kUmbina kAN"

("வாவியà¯à®³à¯ செஙà¯à®•à®´à¯à®¨à¯€à®°à¯ வாய௠நெகிழà¯à®¨à¯à®¤à¯

ஆமà¯à®ªà®²à¯ வாய௠கூமà¯à®ªà®¿à®© காணà¯"). In thePeriya Thirumozhi pasuram for Thiruvazhnudhur(7-5-10), Thirumangai Azhvar similarly talks about the flowers in water - "nellil kuvaLai kaN kAtta, niril kumudham vAy kAtta, allikkamalam mugam kAttum kazhani azhundhUr"

("நெலà¯à®²à®¿à®²à¯ கà¯à®µà®³à¯ˆ கண௠காடà¯à®Ÿ, நீரிலà¯

கà¯à®®à¯à®¤à®®à¯ வாய௠காடà¯à®Ÿ, அலà¯à®²à®¿à®•à¯ கமலமà¯

à®®à¯à®•à®®à¯ காடà¯à®Ÿà¯à®®à¯ கழனி à®…à®´à¯à®¨à¯à®¤à¯‚à®°à¯").

 

Also, Andal calls to the girl in this pasuramas "nA udaiyAy" ("நா உடையாயà¯"). Thirumangai

Azhvar too speaks of the vocal qualities of those in Thiruvazhundhur as "senthamizhum vadakalaiyumthigazhndha nAvarசெநà¯à®¤à®®à®¿à®´à¯à®®à¯ வடகலையà¯à®®à¯

திகழà¯à®¨à¯à®¤ நாவரà¯" (Periya Thirumozhi 7-8-7).

 

In addition, Andal says "sangkodu chakkaramEndhum thadakkaiyan" ("சஙà¯à®•à¯Šà®Ÿà¯ சகà¯à®•à®°à®®à¯

à®à®¨à¯à®¤à¯à®®à¯ தடகà¯à®•à¯ˆà®¯à®©à¯"). Thirumangai Azhvar sings"neyyAr Azhiyum sangkamum Endhum nINda thOLudaiyAyநெயà¯à®¯à®¾à®°à¯ ஆழியà¯à®®à¯ சஙà¯à®•à®®à¯à®®à¯ à®à®¨à¯à®¤à¯à®®à¯

நீணà¯à®Ÿ தோளà¯à®Ÿà¯ˆà®¯à®¾à®¯à¯" (Periya Thirumozhi 7-7-3).

 

Thus, the divyadesam of Therazhundur is experienced in this pasuram.
