Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

I know you would have just saved aDiyEn's post on PeiyAzhwAr Thirumozhi 2.6

for later reading pleasure.

 

I would like to bring the 5th pAsuram to your kind attention and enjoyment

(for particular reference to Swamy Desikan - that SrI UttamUr Swamy

explainedf so beautifully in his vyAkhyAnam)

 

seeronRuthoodhaayth thuriyOdhananpakkal

ooronRuvENdip peRaadha_urOdaththaal

paaronRip paaradhamkaiseydhu paarththaRkuth

thEronRaiyoorndhaaRku_Or_kOlkoNduvaa

dhEvapiraanukku_Or_kOlkoNduvaa. 5.

 

On the earth, The Lord- who has the most auspicious (kalyANa GuNas)

attributes- went so gracefully as dhUthan- a messenger for Pancha paaNdavas,

and asked for even a small village saying " even that alone is enough " and

gave a chance for dhuryOdhanan to survive. Angered by the refusal by

dhuryOdhanan, He arranged for the battle and drove the peerless chariot of

Arjunan. Bring a stick for this chariot driver. Stick for this Devapiraan.

 

 

This pAsuram rhymes the same as SeeronRu thUppul thiruvEnkadamudaiyaan

pAronRach chonna pazhamozhiyul OronRuthaanE amaiyAdho... dhAraNiyil

vaazhavaarkku vanERap pOmaLavum vaazhvu... The words are almost same in both

verses. This thaniyan on Desikan was sung by Pillai lokam jeer, who had

written 18 divine esoteric rahasya granthams and is one of the doyens of

Srivaishnava acharyas. He was a contemporary Acharya of Vedanta Desikan.

Reading, listening and enjoying the great numerous works of Vedantha

Desikan, and seeing uninterrupted life breadth of Sri Ramanuja darsanam in

all those works with no extra words and no extra argument.., overawed by the

beauty of his works, Sri Pillai lokacharyar composed this dedicatory verse.

 

KaNNan- the Ramanujan (Raman's younger brother) drove the chariot and

uttered the Charama slOkam and destroyed the apArthars (one against

Paarthan- arjunan) ; Our Desikan drove the unparalleled chariot of Ramanuja

dharsanam and composed so many unparalleled works and destroyed apArthams-

wrong meanings. KaNNan is Deva piraan- Desikan is Acharya saarvabhouman-

hailed by the Great Sri Pillai lokam jeer himself. One who enters into even

one of Desikan's (this KaNNan of ThiruvEnkatam'- ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaans's

aavtaar) works- will be blessed to reach the vaan- (Paramapadham) -says the

most merciful Acharya- Sri Pillai lokacharya.
