Thiruppavai and Divyadesams-23

 

Pasuram: Maari Malai

Divyadesam: Thiruvarangam

 

The phrase " un ko:yil ninringngane: po:ndharuli "

is to be taken as key in this pasuram. It is

Srirangam Namperumal sannidhi that is known as

" ko:yil " in the samprada:yam.

 

In this pasuram, Andal seeks to see the beauty

of His walk ( " po:dharuma: po:le: " ). In Srirangam,

His walks are most famous.

 

In the Idu vyakhyanam for Thiruvaymozhi pasuram

6-9-3 ( " nja:laththu:de: nadandhum ninrum " ) 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 sang

Thirumaalai to the Lord and then requested 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

( " thirukaiththalam " ) upto where the person was

and asked " Will this (My walk) match the

great distance this devotee walked to see Me? "

 

Thus, the divyadesam of Thiruvarangam is

experienced in this pasuram.

Jai Srimannarayana!
