Thiruppavai and Divyadesams

by Sri PB Annangarachariar Swami

 

Pasuram: Maari MalaiDivyadesam: Thiruvarangam

 

The phrase "un kOyil ninRingnganE pOndharuLiஉன௠கோயில௠நினà¯à®±à®¿à®™à¯à®™à®©à¯‡ போநà¯à®¤à®°à¯à®³à®¿"

is to be taken as key in this pausram. It is Srirangam

Namperumal sannidhi that is known as "kOyil" in the

sampradhayam.

 

In this pasuram, Andal seeks to see the beauty of His walk ("pOdharumA pOlEபோதரà¯à®®à®¾

போலே"). In Srirangam, His walks are most

famous.

 

In the Idu vyakhyanam for Thiruvaymozhi pasuram6-9-3 ("njAlaththUdE nadandhum ninRum"

"ஞாலதà¯à®¤à¯‚டே நடநà¯à®¤à¯à®®à¯ நினà¯à®±à¯à®®à¯") is an event that talks about the beauty of His walk in Srirangam. One time a singer from the North came to Srirangam to pray to Namperumal. That night, Azhvar Thiruvaranga Perumal Araiyar sangThirumaalai to the Lord and then request to Him "This good devotee has walked a long way to see You. Please give him an adequate sambhavana". Namperumal agreed and walked in the most beautiful fashion in the hands of devotees ("thirukaiththalamதிரà¯à®•à¯ˆà®¤à¯à®¤à®²à®®à¯") up to

where the person was and asked "Will this (My

walk) match to the great distance this devotee

walked to see Me?"

 

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