THIRUPPAVAI SWAPADHESAM

 

SREMATH PARAMAHAMSA VANAMAMALAI JEEYAR

 

It was noted in the preceding posting that the sixth to fifteenth pAsuram of

thiruppAvai is viewed from the angle of AzhwArs. Accordinly, it was seen that

the sixth pAsuram indicates poizhgai-AzhwAr and the seventh pEi AzhwAr.

 

The Eighth pAsuram: The eighth pAsuram refers bhUdhath-AzhwAr. How?

 

" kOdhu kalamudaiya pAvai enRadhu bhUdathu AzhwArai "

" anbhE thagaLi " is the commencement of iraNdAm thiruvandhAdhi which speaks a lot

about bhakthi.

" perugu madha vEzham " 75 talking on Lord krshNA's great deeds and

" yEarin perutheruthu angOd osiya peNnasaiyin piN pOi eruthirutha nal Ayar ERu "

62 indicating the conqur of the seven bulls for the sake of nappinnai pirAtti.

" dhEvAdhi dhEvan enap paduvan munnoru nAL mA vAip piLandhAn magan' 28 and

" malE nediyOnE kaNNanE viNNavarkku mElA viyanthuzhAik kaNNiyanE " in the final

pAsuram culminating in the ecstasy for the AzhwAr may not be a mere coincidence

with the term 'kOdhu kalamudai " but in fact reference to bhUdhathu AzhwAr.

 

The Ninth pAsuram: After having seen the mudhal-AzhwArgaL now it is mentioned

that this pAsuram is indicative of thirumazhisai-AzhwAr.

 

" mAmAn magaL " is the key term referring to this AzhwAr.

 

The reasons given are:

 

----> " azhaippan thiruvEnkatathAnaik kANa, izhaippan thiruk-kUdal kUda " speaks

in feminism -nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi 39 which is similar to sri AndAL's nAchiyAr

thirumozhi's " kAttil vEnkatam---kUdidu kUdalE " 4-2;

 

------> thUmaNI mAdathu refers to the highlight of great knowledge ---gnAnam

which is inferred from

 

'en mathikku viNNellAm vuNdO vilai " nAn mugan thiruvandhAdhi 51;

'gnAnam Agi gnAyiRAgi' thiruchchandha virutham 114;

 

mAmAyan-mAdhavan from thiruppAvai is represented by:

-----> 'Ayan thuvaraik kONAi ninRa mAyan' nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi 71;

------> 'adich sakatam chAdi ...vadip pavaLa vAi pinnaikkA

valEtheruthiruthu'nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi 33;

------> 'AyanAgi Ayar mangai vEya thOL virumbinAi' thiruch chandha virutham 41

 

 

mAmAyan-mAdhavan-vaikunthan: is correlated by:

 

-----------> 'mAdhavan' nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi 65

----------> 'vaikunthach selvanAr' 75;

 

 

Thus, purushakAr vaibhavam is covered in the above references.

Thus, it is concluded 'that mAmAn-magaL' indicates thirumazhisai AzhwAr.
