The Sixth Ten Contd.

AzhwAr's indifference -Removed by the Lord Himself.

" pAdhamEA charaNAkka avaiyEA shEmang koNdu yEAka sindhaiyarAi

thriyakkugaLaiyittu swAbiprAyathai nivEadhithu viLamba rOsham upAyathAlEa

azhiya........ "

 

Summary: It was seen in the fifth ten that He has bequeathed His divine feet as

the means to reach Him. Accordingly, AzhwAr acknowledged and followed this

meticulously. However, since the Lord did not appear forthwith, AzhwAr sent

messengers thorugh various birds etc. to inform the Lord that 'here is a woman

waiting for You and to be rescued by You alone " despite failing health.

 

Despite this, the Lord Almighty did not present Himself immediately which

resulted in AzhwAr becoming indifferent even after the Lord's presence. This

indifference by AzhwAr facing the other side-praNaya rOsham - was destroyed by

the Lord Himself by His holy feet.

 

 

pAsuram-s:

The Lord bequeathed His divine feet as the means

" ARu enakku, nin pAdhamEa charaNAgath thandozhindhAi " thiru voi mozhi 5-7-10;

 

AzhwAr accepted this completely

 

" kazhalgaL avaiyEA charaNAgak koNda kurugur satakOpan " thiru voi mozhi 5-8-11;

 

AzhwAr sent messengers to inform the Lord " here is a woman expecting You,

affected by Your Love and affection "

 

The thiru voi mozhi 6-1 --vagal pUngazhivAi :

 

sending --> kurugu, nArAi, puLLinagaL, annangaL, kuyilgaL,kiLi, vandugaL as

emissaries reflecting the role of AchAryan in making the Lord and the soul

getting together.

 

The delay of the Lord resulted in indifference and praNaya rOsham of AzhwAr.

 

This is explained in the next thriu-voi-mozhi " minnidai madavArgaL' 6-2;

What are these?

" pOgu nambE " --> 6-2-1--> Get away;

" pOyirundhu un puLLuvam aRiyAdhavarku vurai nambE " 6-2-3--> Go and tell your

falsehood to people who do not know about You.

" ninmalA nediyAi vunakkEalum, pizhai pizhaiyEa " --> thiru voi mozhi 6-2-7--> You

may be the Great one but a mistake is a mistake.

 

How was this indifference removed.

" azhithAi vun thiru adiyAl " --> 6-2-9--> The Divine Feet indicating Him and His

beautiful form removed these negative acts and made AzhwAr to conciliate and

settle down with Him.
