Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

There are 202 verses on ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan- sung by

AzhwArs, let us enjoy starting with Mudhal AzhwArs.

 

Poigai, the first AzhwAr among Mudhal AzhwArs, has

sung ten verses [out of his 100 pAsurams of Mudhal

ThiruvanthAthi] on ThiruvEnkatam.

 

Let us continue to enjoy Poigai AzhwAr

His Mudhal ThiruvanthAthi 37th verse is the next one

on ThiruvEnkatam:

 

vakaiyaRu nuNkELvi vaayvaarkaL, naaLum

pukaiviLakkum poompunalum Enthi, - thisaithisaiyin

vEthiyar_kaL senRiRaincum vEngadamE, veNsangam

Uthiyavaay maalukantha voor. [37]

 

From all direction, the Vedic scholars or devotees who

have comprehended the true purport of Vedic truth and

the glory of Veda vEdyan- Sriya: Pathi Sriman

Narayanan, come to ThiruvEnkatam to pay their

obeisance. Having realized and heard from their

sadaacharyans the unambiguous, unparalleled doctrine

and truth hidden in Vedas and saathrAs [which can be

learnt only by listening and learning from the

Acharyans by serving them at their lotus feet] –

having learnt from Acharyas, that He alone is Supreme

Lordship and He alone can grant what one needs to seek

in this life to get rid of future births and samsaaric

affliction and never to return at all again.

 

Having learnt thus, these devotees [who are blessed

with the knowledge – true knowledge] – everyday go to

ThiruvEnkatam carrying the most fragrant flowers, the

incense sticks, powders, the lamps (deepam) and pure

waters mixed with thuLasi and other fragrant flowers

for Thirumanjana kaimkaryam. They go to ThiruvEnkatam

with utmost bhakti and love for the Lord andf pay

their obeisance and prostrate at His Lotus feet. This

ThiruvEnkatam is the place where the Lord, who blew

the divine conch [during KurukshEthra battle field],

willingly and joyously resides. ugantharuLina nilam.

 

Yet another brilliant pAsuram.

The divine conch is referred to here for imparting the

jnAnam in us- about His Parathvam, about our eternal

sEshathvam [being His servant at all time out of our

essential nature of being a jeevaathman]. He touched

the little Boy Dhruva and he immediately started

praising Him with wonderful sthOthras. The divine

conch is also blown to send the chilling shivers

through the enemies of His devotees [like it did for

the Kauravas during the battle]; similarly it would

destroy and instill fear in our negative elements (the

inner enemies whom we have within us- we do not need

enemies from outside; they are within us:-( ]

 

Such most merciful Lord most compassionate One-

resides out of His own accord here in this mountain,

ThiruvEnkatam, for us to enjoy seeing Him at all times

and get all our paapams crushed.

 

To this mountain, everyday go these devotees, the

mukukshus- the Paramaikaanthins – who do not aspire

for any other fruits other than His Lotus Feet and

serving Him alone; who do not pray to other

jeevathmans knowing fully well that of His Supreme

Lordship- as declared unambiguously in Vedas and

saasthrAs.

 

These devotees – mumukhsus – one who is desirous of

mOksham; Paramaikaanthins whp pray to him alone for

Him alone;-have learnt these truths by hearing,

listening to and studying the Vedas and saathras and

their truths from their Acharyas. [vagaiaRu nuN kELvi

vaayvaargaL].

 

They are blessed with such a jnAnam an births;

karuvilE thiruvudaiyaar- or jaayamaana kataaksham.

 

 

Sriya: Pathi " , the consort of MahAlakshmi (i.e)

EmperumAn is the highest; has limitless auspicious

qualities and therefore is known as " BhagavAn " . He is

omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. None can equal

Him much less challenge Him; Yet, He is as much the

personification of absolute mercy as of immense power.

 

 

He is moved by the souls' self-inflicted suffering in

the sea of SamsAra as a result of endless karmas. Out

of His natural disposition of compassion, and due to

their little good past deed done somewhere some time

in the past, He decides to bless them with His benign

glance.

 

This glance is called " jAyamAna kaDAksham " in Sanskrit

and " karuvilE thiru " in Tamizh. Only those who are

fortunate to " catch the eye " of the Lord in this

manner will ever get a desire for Moksham. One who

gets this desire is called a " Mumukshu " .

 

The correct truth about Vedas and saathrAs:

 

Sage Vyasa who compiled all Vedas; who had written the

Brahma sutras; who is the amsam of Vishnu Himself

(Vyaasaaya vishNu roopaaya vyaasa roopaaya vishNavE]

says:

 

Sathyam sathyam punas sathyam udhruccha bhujam

ucchathE

Vedaas saasthrA: param naasthi NA DEIVAM KESAVAATH

PARAM..

 

Raising up my arm, I declare on oath there is no

scripture text greater than the Vedas; and no God

superior to Lord Kesava. This is TRUTH, TRUTH and

TRUTH again.

 

AlOdya sarva saasthrAni vichaaryacha puna: puna:

Idham Ekam sunishpannam dhyEyO nArAyaNO Harih:

 

After a deep study of all saasthrAs, and repeated

investigations into their purports, we come to this

conclusion that one to be mediated upon is Hari-

Sriman Narayanan.

 

Thus AzhwAr epitomizes all these esoteric truths in

one simple verse- MayarvaRa mathinalam peRRavargaL…

 

By getting to learn these wonderful verses of AzhwArs,

we are able to get a clearer picture of Vedic truths

which otherwise are hidden and difficult to

comprehend. [theLiyaadha maRai nilangaL
