Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

From 32dn verse onwards Alavandhar describes very

beautiful the divine beauty of the Lord- right from

divine chest… The lotus feet has already been

described in 31st. The mind went there; and now the

mind travels upwards like a leaf caught by the wind of

divine sowndharyam –on the knee caps, the pillar like

thighs, the most beautiful yellow silk cloth around

the waist; the wonderful colour of the divine Body;

the stomach, the waist, the divine chest – are all

described in subsequent verses.

 

viraajamaanOjjvala peetha vaasanam

smithaataseesoona samaamalaachavim

nimagna naabhim thamnu madhyam unnatham

visaala vakshasthala sObhi lakshaNam

 

the One who wear the naturally beautiful and

glittering yellow silk cloth [raiment] –[which is more

beautiful and shining due to dark coloured divine

body’s association]; the One who is resplendent and

whose pure splendour like the blooming kaayam poo

[dark blue hued flower]; who is majestically beautiful

with the deep divine Navel; who has narrow and slender

waist; who has the shining mark [srivathsam] on His

broad, divine chest.

 

Above the lotus feet- till the stomach, He wears the

silk cloth and hence the cloth itself appears as if it

is interspersed with the ThirumEni and is an integral

part. Also the blue dark hued kaayaam poo flower like

ThirumEni is in exact wonderful contrast to the most

beautiful silk yellow cloth. The cloth combined with

the shining lustre of thighs add the beautify

combination.

 

The Lord's thirumEni is like an emerald mountain . The

golden yellow silk garment adorning His waist is like

the cloud of mAnnickkam . NammAzhwAr , describes his

feelings of joy this way:

paticchOthi aadaiodum palkalanAi ninn paimponn katic

chOthi kalanthathuvO ?

 

AzhwAr wonders whether the lustre of the Lord's waist

has transformed itself into the radiance of the

peethAmparam and the jewels found around the waist

region .The form is captivating and more so, with the

slender waist, broad chest and the divine mark

[srivathsam] on the divine chest- wherein Sri resides.

Such divine appearance- most beautiful You- I need to

spend all my time enjoying Your appearance serving You

at all times blemishlessly and faultlessly; unlimited

kaimkaryam uninterruptedly.

 

ozivil kaalamellaam* udanaay manni,*

vazuvilaa* adimai seyya vENdum_ naam,*

thezikural _aruvith* thiruvEngadatthu,*

ezilkoL sOthi* enthaithanthai thanthaikkE (2) 3.3.1

 

The Emperumaan, The Most Beautiful, unbounded infinite

illustrious jOthi, my father’s father’s …….. father;

He stands gracefully at TirumalA where the waterfalls

fall with thunderous noise; To such Emperumaan- Please

grant us the eternal servitude to perform all sorts of

limitless uninterrupted kaimkaryams at all times,

under all situations.

 

When will I be blessed?
