irAmAnusa nORRu anthAthi - part 8 - " thEn vanthu pAyum eeram "

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

singAra kuyilgal sangeetham pAdum

sil enRa kARRu sol meethu oorum

then amuthanAr sollin dheeram

thEn vanthu pAyum eeram

 

meaning: When this " varik kuyil " of Srivaishnva pArampariyam sings

about Sri irAmAnusa nooRru anthAthi, there is a gentle breeze

known as " anubavam " that dips itself in the " oyyAra aruvi " (the

flow of the thought conveyed in the poorvAchAryA vyAkyAnams about

Sri irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi is similar to a " falls " that is so

elegant and is flowing continously) and brings the dampness of the

falls ( " sAral " ) along with it. Such dampness is felt even when

reading the words of Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr in his

pasurams of Sri irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi. The dampness is not

only felt but it has been coming out as similar to a " spring "

(ooRRu) with a non-stop flow. The " valimai " or the power of the

words of Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr are uncomparable. Whenever

one dwell in this anubavam they will be soaked in honey or " thEn " ,

in addition to this dampness and the the flow from this " ooRRu " or

the " spring " and the words that are so powerful in senthamizh.

 

 

These 3 pasurams were also validated by the prathyaksha darshanam

of Sri emperumAnAr, Sri Koorathu AzhwAr and their shishyALs. Sri

emperumAnAr, Sri AzhwAn and shishyALs stood as the " rakshai " this

time around, and provided the protection for the 4000 at the end

of it. It is said that Sri Kooratthu AzhwAr pleaded to Sri

RanganAthar and thAyAr and wished that there must be " three sARRu

pAsurams " for Sri irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi. He did so, to make

everyone to remember this incident that the last 3 pasurams are

delivered in the presence of Sri emperumAnAr himself. So when all

the other prabhandhams will have only 2 sARRu pAsurams Sri

irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi alone will have three sARRu pAsurams.

 

Though Sri peria vAcchAn pillai didnot deliver a vyAkyAnam for Sri

irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi, he had however overwhemingly mentioned

refererence to Sri thiru arangatthu amuthAnAr's par-excellence in

senthamizh pulahAngitham in many places. Sri peria AcchAn pilai

also has compared some of the utterances in AzhwArs pAsurams to

the usage of excellent anubavam of Sri Arangatthu amuthanAr. The

" nirvAham " of Sri arangatthu amuthAnAr for AzhwAr pAsurams is

cited by Sri peria AcchAn pillaiin in many of his vyAkyAnams. ie.,

Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr had his own unique anubavam of Sri

AzhwAr pAsurams and such is highlighted none other by the vyAkyAna

chakravathi Sri peria AcchAn pillai himself.

 

Sri pin pazhagiya jeer who is also the shishyAL of Sri nam jeer

had delivered references to Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr in his

" vArrtha mAlai " and " Sri ArAyirapadi guru pArampariyam " . Swami

dEsikan had referred to Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr in his

" prabhadha sAram " . Sri nayinAr AcchAn pillai (son of Sri peria

AcchAn pillai) had delivered ample references to Sri thiru

arangatthu amuthanAr in " saramOpAya nirnayam " . Sri yamunAchAriar

of thiru malai AndAn's vamsam also has delivered many references

to Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr in his " pramEya rathnam " .

 

Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr lived for 108 years and he

delivered 108 abborva rathnams as pAdals or pasurams of Sri

irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi. Sri MaNavALA mA munigaL delivered a

concise " uRai " for these 108 pasurams. Sri pillai lOkam jeer

delivered an elaborate vyAkyAnam using 1000 padi (*), for this

grantham. Sri prathi vAthi bayankaram AnnangarAchAr delivered a

vyAkyAnam for this " nool " . Sri Utthamoor Swami delviered a

vyAkyAnam for this grantham as a part of his commentary for 4000

divya prabhadham. A detailed publication of Sri pillai lOkam

Jeer's vyAkyAnam and Sri MaNavALa mA munigaL's " uRai " has been

published after a a lapse of 108 years (ie after 1891) in 1999.

Such publication was released to this world under the holy feet of

than oppAr illappan last year at thiru viNNagaram sannithi. (**)

note: (*) - Please refer to some explanations for the metric known

as " padi " from adiyEn's writings on thirup pAvAi.

http://www2.be.com/~mani/bhakti/archives/dec98/./0172.html

 

(**) - It is a divine command and unknown coincidence that adiyEn

began to attempt to write on this as desired by the AngyAI of Sri

Oppiliappan conveyed through Sri Oppiliappan kOil Varadachari

Sadagopan Swamin. adiyEn was asked to write on this by a parama

bAgawathAL of Sri than oppAr illappan without knowing about this

publication that took place under HIS holy feet. After reading

this incident, it is a " mayir kooccherirum experience " for me to

think of how all this started here. Sri Sadagopan has delivered

beautiful write up on Sri thiru arangatthu amuthAnar's anubavam

that led to the birth of Sri irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi & as well

as about the thaniyans (please refer to the postings of the month

of April from Malolan net archives) of this aboorva grantham.

Since the thaniyans are already covered by Oppiliappan kOil Sri

V.Sadagopan Swamin, adiyEn will pray to thiru arangatthu amuthanAr

with those thaniyans and will attempt to start from pasuram 1 in

the next part.
