A Peep into Periya ThiruMozhi 181

[Guest guest]

thalai mEAlArEA

Having explained in detail the happiness Thirumangai AzhwAr has received from the Lord of ThriuNaRaiyUr-kaN iNaigaL kaLippak kaLikkap peRREAnEa- one may wonder, what else does AzhwAr need.

 

As is well known, the devotion towards the devotees is the ultimate in our sampradhAyam and perhaps that is why after 'The ThriunaRaiyUr saga' Sri Kaliyan naturallly thinks of the dhAdhEya shEshathvam.

 

Sri PiLLai LokAchAryAr while elucidating on this point refers two thiru-voi-mozhi-s, two thirumzohi-s, one from perumAL thirumozhi and final few pAsuram-s from thirumAlai.

 

"ivvartham idhihAsa purANangaLilum, payilum sudar oLi-nedumARkadimayilum, kaN-sOra venkurudhiyilum, nannAdha vAL-avuNarilum, thEAttarunthiRal thEanilum, mEamporuLukku mEalil pATTukkaLilum visathamAgak kANalAm" SrE-vachana bhUshaNam 226;

 

 

AzhwAr's can be seen observing by practice bhAgavatha shEshathvam, in detial in :

 

payilum suDar oLi--- Thriu-voi-Mozhi 3-7;

nedumARkadimai-- Thiru-voi-MOzhi 8-10;

kaN-sOra venkurudhi --Periya Thirumzohi -7-4;

naNNAdha vAL avunar-Periya Thriumzohi 2-6;

TheATTarum thiRAl thEan--PerumAL thirumozhi 2

ThirumAlai final few pAsuram-s.

 

It is significant to observe that 'kaN sOra' venkurudhi is exclusively dedicated to devtoion to the devotees of the Lord of ThiruchERai.

Thus this thirumozhi is categorised in the elite class of bhAgavatha shEsathvam and will it not be apt to explain it from sRevaishNavites who are practising so?

 

Smt. SumithrA Varadarajan has kindly consented to add flavour and content to this series of 'A Peep into Periya ThiruMozhi' by explaining the finer points in the ten pAsuram-s of 'kaN sOra venkurudhi' .

 

I thank her in this regard.
