Thirucchandhaviruttham- 46th verse- Please bless the naayinEn (lowliest one)

[Guest guest]

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

After having mentioned about Him being enjoyed by few;

while not even seen or enjoyed by others, AzhwAr feels

bad that he himself is not blessed to be born when He

appeared as vibhava avathAramas namely, Mathsya,

Krroma, Varahaa et al. How am I going to see Him

hereafter?- Asks AzhwAr.

kOdupaRRi aazhiyEndhi anchiRaip puLoordhiyaal

naadupeRRa nanmainaNNam illaiyENnum naayinEn,

veedupeRRu iRappodum piRappu aRukkum aa solE.

(46)

 

Oh The Lord who has cool Thirutthuzhaay flower garland

on the Head! You hold the white Conch Shell

(Pannchajanyam) in one of Your hands; and in the other

holds the divine ChakrA and rides on the most

beautiful featherd – winged king of Birds- GarudA at

times. I, the lowliest self- am unfortunate not to get

the divine anubhavams (experience) of having You at

such close quarters duing your avathArams; Though I

was not blessed with such a bhAgyam, at least now you

can bless me (at least) further avoidance of future

births and deaths and falling into samsaaris

afflictions again and again. Please bless the naayinEn

(lowliest one)

 

When the Lord nods approving the devotees Surrender

(Saranagathi) and accept them, His head moves and the

lovely cool, Thirutthuzhaay flower moves as well

graciously. AzhwAr enjoys that. Also He is Sankha

Chakra dhAri which declares His Parathvam- the

unparalleled Supreme Lord riding on the Vainantheyan-

the VedaathmA; vihakEswaran- Veda swarUpi.

 

When You rode on GarudA, people enjoyed. I was not

born that day and hence missed all of that. I am born

when You are not here – as vibhavam. I am most

unfortunate and am lowliest one. Please bless this

lowly one from furthermore births and deaths.

 

naayinEn- Periya vaacchaan Pillai beautifully

comments: Whereevr the door is opened, the dog enters

there, touches with its spittle all objects and does

all nonsense and goes out and enters another door.

Similarly the jeevan takes various births and does all

materialistic and worldly things and hence “naayinEn”-

addressed by AzhwAr [thiRandha vaasalellAm nuzhaindhu,

nuzhaindha vaasalellAvaRRilum parihuthanaay, dEVAREER

ugandhu thodilum (even You touch me), angutthaikku

avadhyam viLaiyumpadiyaana swaroopatthai udaiyavan

naan”.]
