A Peep into Peirya Thiru-mozhi-11

[Guest guest]

Periya Thirumozhi a mixture of...

 

Having visited the first ten, cursorily and briefly, what can our conclusions

be?

 

In the first thiru-mozhi it was seen that AzhwAr not only realises the

thiru-mahdiram but alos expresses its meaning and the efficacy of that. The

extended meaning of this is later expressed in the second ten and eighth where

the devotion to srEvaishNavites is the ultimate essence of thirumandhiram.

 

The ancient tamil usage is adeptly practised by AzhwAr in the third thiru-mozhi.

 

The narration of natural events in an abosrbing way is elegantly done in

thiruppiridhip pAsuram- innocent beetles and the python paradox.

 

AzhwAr surrenders at the feet of the Lord-regretting his earlier deeds, in the

sannidhi and purushakAram of pirAtti at naimisAraNyam.-vandhun thiruvadi

adaindhEan.

 

AzhwAr again surrenders at the divine feet of Lord thiru-vEnkatamudaiyan, in the

sannidhi of periya-pirAtti-purushakAram.

'engaL mAdhavanEa "

 

 

Shall we then safely conclude that peirya thirumozhi is a mixture of

srEVaishNavism to the core, chaste tamil language, narration of nature at its

pinnacle and what not?- veering and full of bhagavath vishayam isnt it.

Immnese affection towards the Lord and that is why it is said:

 

'kAdhalEa migutha kaliyan vAi oligaL mAlai "
