AchArya Hrdhaym-sUthram 212 contd.

 

The thiru-virutham and thiru-voi-mozhi first pAsuram-s contain in them the

following points also:

 

rakshaNa kramam:

thiru -virutham: 'vuyir aLippAn en ninRa yOniumAi piRandhAi' ---> The Lord

Himself takes up the task of incarnations and protects the devotees.

thiru-voi-mozhi: ' mayaRvu aRa mathi nalam aruLinan' ----> The Lord out of His

mercy grants immense knowledge which drives out the ignorance-illiteracy and

also bequeaths the requisite grasp of education for attaining knowledge -gnAnam-

and love and affection towards the Lord -bhakthi.

 

guna vigraha vibhUdhi yOgam:

 

thiru-virutham- 'imaiyOr thalaivA' referring to the Lord's supremacy over

the World is highlighted.

'imayOr' alludes to Lord's attachment towards

nithya-sUrigaL.

thiru-voi-mozhi: 'vuyarvaRa vuyar nalam' straightaway pointing at His

endless auspicious qualities.

and ' thuyar aRu sudar adi' alluding to His divine

Thus, the Lord's qualities, physique, attachment toward the devoees, ownership

of the whole world are all underlined here.

and follow AzhwAr are the recepient and subject matter of the preaching.

AzhwAr's request.-viNNappam.

thiru-voi-mozhi: " thozhudhu ezhu en mananE " indicating that the mind of the
