BY SRI SADAGOPAN SWAMI -MODERATOR OPPILIAPPAN GROUP.

 

Continuing on the term " ulAviya " :

 

 

vaan ulAviya Mathi tavazh maal varai

mAmathiL pudai soozha " . In the previous line , Kaliyan

referred to the clouds of the rainy season and their

beauty. Here , Kaliyan looks up and sees the Moon in clear

skies moving amidst those clouds embracing the tall peaks

of Oushada Giri right in front of the Lord's temple

at ThiruvahIndhrapuram. The ramparts ( MathiL) of

the temple are also tall and compete in height with

the surrounding mountains. Chandran is hugging these

ramparts during his sanchAram (travels) in the sky

(kavin aarum Vaan ulAviya Mathi = the Moon moving

in the beautiful sky ). The ramparts of the temple

and the mountain peaks are reaching all the way

up to the Chandra ManDalam (Mathi tavazh maal varai

pudai soozha).The Oushada Giri has the blessings of

SrI HayagrIva Saannidhyam (presence of Lord HayagrIvan,

who has the hue of Suddha Spatikam / pure white hue).

 

Fourth Line of the Paasuram

****************************

" thEn ulAviya sezhum pozhil tazhuviya ThiruvayeendrapuramE " .

That Oushada Giri has fragrant groves of flowering trees

that attract hordes of honey bees . Those flowering tree

groves serve as an embracing canopy for the dhivya dEsam of

ThiruvahIdhrapuram . The Moon is also coursing in between

these tall groves of flowering trees . Such is the abundant

fertility and soubhAgyam of ThiruvahIndhrapuram , which

is the dear place of residence of RaamAvathAra Dhaiva Naayakan .
