THIRUPPAVAI SWAPADHESAM

 

SREMATH PARAMAHAMSA VANAMAMALAI JEEYAR.

 

It was seen in the preceding post that the first pAsuram is consists the essence

of all the pAsuram-s. How is that?

 

This is sought to be explained here.

 

This is also likened to thiru voi mozhi where the first pAsuram is the capsule

for the whole. Likewise, the first pAsuram namely

" mArgazhith thingaL " is the capsule of thirup pAvai.

 

How?

 

The words " mArgazhith thingaL mathi niRaindha nan nALAl " is the capsule of first

five pAsuram-s.

 

The words " nErAdap pOdhuvEr pOdhuminO nEAR izhaiEr sEr malgum AippAdich

chelvach siru mErgAL " is the capsule of pAsuram 6-15 where ten different

devotees are awakened.

 

" kUr vEal kodun thozhilan " is the brief for the term " kOil kAppAnE " in the

sixteenth pAsuram.

 

" nandha gOpan " of the first pAsuram is indicative of the terms " nAyakanAi ninRa

nandha gOpan " in the 16th pAsuram and

" vOdAdha thOL valiyan nandha gOpAlan " of 18th pAsuram.

 

The term " kumaran " in the first pAsuram refers to " mARRAdhE pAl sorium vaLLal

perum pasukkaL,ARRap padaithAn maganE " in the twenty first pAsuram.

 

The word " kArmEani " refers to " mugil vaNNan " in the eleventh pAsuram, " pUvaip pU

vaNNA " of the 23rd pAsuram and " mAlE maNi vaNNA " of the 26h pAsuram.

 

" cheng kaN " is the term referring to " kinkini vAich cheidha thAmaraip pU

pOlE-angaN iraNdum koNdu " of the 22nd pAsuram,

" pangayak kaNNan " 14th pAsuram and 'sengaN thiru mugam " of the 30th pAsuram.
