Thiruppavai and Divyadesams

 

 

Pasuram: Ungal Puzhaikkadai

Divyadesam: Therazhundur

 

In this pasuram, Andal speaks of some flowers

that grow in ponds - " va:viyul sengkazhuni:r

va:y negizhndhu a:mbal va:y ku:mbina ka:n " . In the

Periya Thirumozhi pasuram for Thiruvazhnudhur

(7-5-10), Thirumangai Azhvar similarly talks

about the flowers in water - " nellil kuvalai

kan ka:tta, niril kumudham va:y ka:tta, allaik

kamalam mugam ka:tuum kazhani azhundhu:r " .

 

Also, Andal calls to the girl in this pasuram

as " na: udaiya:y " . Thirumangai Azhvar too speaks

of the vocal qualities of those in

Thiruvazhundhur as " senthamizhum vadakalaiyum

thigazhndha nAvar " (Periya Thirumozhi 7-8-7).

 

In addition, Andal says " sangkodu chakkaram

e:ndhum thadakkaiyan " . Thirumangai Azhvar sings

" neyya:r a:zhiyum sangkamum e:ndhum ni:nda tho:l

udaiyy:y " (Periya Thirumozhi 7-7-3).

 

Thus, the divyadesam of Therazhundur is

experienced in this pasuram.

Jai Srimannarayana!
