Sri Amudhan SamprOkshanam and ChAthur mAsya sankalpam - Part 15

 

adiyEn had a detailed chat with a sAdhu who came with

us as a guide for visiting all the nava thirupathis. He was

kind enough to provide me enough details on Sri nammAzhwAr

that I could not find in any literatures including guru pAram

pariyam. adiyEn was given with a 14th century work on Sri

magara nedum kuzhai kAthar perumAL of then thirupErai by some

one. It is known as " magara nedum kuzhai kAthar pA mAlai " and

it had 108 pasurams. adiyEn was talking about that with the

sAdhu and explained to him about adiyEn's interest in those

pasurams.

 

At the very end of the trip holy sAdhu mentioned to me

that he has in his possession a very rare work on Sri namm

AzhwAr from the previous centuries and that he wanted adiyEn

to take a look at it. adiyEn went to his kudil. It was on the

banks of thamira barani and there was absolutely no furniture

or electricity or anything in that place. sAdhu lived all his

life in the temple and by partaking from the prasAdhams alone.

 

He said he is waiting for permAL to take him to Srivaikundam

as he is old (80 + years). The " nool " was hand written in

terse and poetical tamil with " 42 " aboorva keertthanai, all

of them on Sri nammAzhwAr. adiyEN really liked them. Each

keertthanais had all the required meters in tamil such as

charaNam and pallavai delivered and as well unique rAgams

and thAlAm specified. Our sAdhu said he was waiting for

years to entrust this to someone who can really publish but

in vain. He entrusted adiyEn with the responsibility of

publishing these suitably. adiyEn received this as the one

of best prashAdam from Sri nammAzwAr, in my visit to nava thirupathis.
