How tio see the Lord 5-thirumazhisaip pirAn

[Guest guest]

Earlier we saw sri kulasEkara AzhwAr's experience. Here let us go into the

experience of thirumazhisaip-pirAn.

 

Sri vElukkudi varadhAchAri swAmi often used to explain this duirng his

discourses.

When two persons are very close and intimate they use to swap their clothes.

Likewise, thirumazhisai-AzhwAr and ArAvamudhap-pirAn exchange their names and

became thirumazhisaip pirAn and ArAvamudha-AzhwAr.

 

Thirumazhisai AzhwAr had such an intimacy with thiruk kudandhai perumAL.

Thiruch-chandha virutham 61

" nadandha kAlgaL nondhavO, nadungu gnAlam yEnamAi idandha mei kulungavO,

kadandha kAl parandha kAvirik karai kudandhai vuL , kidandhavARu ezhundhirundhu

pEsu, vAzhi kEsanE "

 

Oh! LOrd of thirukkudandhai ,You are resting after your measuring the World and

rescuing the world.

The Lord initiated to get up and greet AzhwAr, but AzhwAr requested the LOrd to

speak to him on the reclining position and accordingly the LOrd spoke to him on

just lifting His head from a reclining stance.- " kidandhavARu ezhundhirundhu pEsu

vAzhi kEsanE "

 

Such was the experience of thirumazhisaip pirAn.
