Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

Let us continue to enjoy Pey AzhwAr anubhavam on

ThiruvEbkatam. Next verse is 26th of MoonRaam

ThiruvanthAthi:

 

siRanthaven sinthaiyum sengaN aravum,

niRainthaseer neeLkacci yuLLum, - uRainthathuvum,

vEngadamum veqkaavum vELukkaip paadiyumE,

thaamkadavaar thaNduzaa yaar.

AzhwAr here rejoices the way Lord had desired for his

heart /mind that cooperates with AzhwAr for paying

obeisance to Him and praising Him. Here AzhwAr

mentions that the Lord on His own accord enjoys

residing in his heart more than He wishes to reside in

Divya Desams.

 

The Lord wearing cool, most fragrant thuLasi garland –

Sriya: Pathi never ever thinks of leaving and always

desires to reside in two places: one – on reddish eyed

AdhisEshan and another in my heart.

 

For the sake of His dear devotees, out of His great

compassion and dayA, He resides also forever in

Divyadesam of the wealthiest Thirukkacchi

(Kanchi[uram), ThiruvEnkatam, Thiruve:kaa and

ThiruvELukkai Thiruppathi.

 

Here AzhwAr says: He would never leave my heart (which

is siRanda- great because it always cooperates with me

in praising Him and His glories; and He relishes

staying in my heart) and AzhwAr also adds: He stays

along with AnanthAzhwAn in my heart, as He never

wishes to leave Adhi sEshan as well.

 

The mind being cooperative is also taken by other

AzhwArs as mentioned earlier in this series;

Especially NammAzhwAr takes up enjoyably:

 

EmpirAnaith thozhAi MaDa nenjamE --Thiruvaymozhi

1.10.3

 

Oh my mind! How fortunate I am that you are

cooperating with me! Please keep on worshipping our

Lord!

 

nenjamE nallai nallai unnaip peRRAl --1.10.4 Here the

pleased AzhwAr gives a quota of thanks to his nenjam

tha thas cooperated with him. He says: " Oh my sweet

mind! well done! You have commenced worship of our

Lord, even before I have started. I am fortunate to

have you, my mind (heart) cooperate with me.

 

KaNDAyE nenjE karumangaL vaayikkinRu--1.10.5

 

Oh my mind! have you noticed our Lord, the

SarvEswaran, has become available to us for enjoyable

anubhavam of His dhivyAnga Soundharyam and anantha

kalyANa guNams? Do You know how this happened? We did

not dream of such a soubhAgyam.

 

In the TVM 1.10.6, Swamy NammAzhwAr's conversation

takes an intensively sweet touch:

 

neeyum naanum innEr niRkil mEl maRROr

nOyumc chArkodAn nenjamE sonnEn

thAyum tanthaiyumAi ivvulahinil

vaayumeesan MaNivaNNan yenthayE

 

Oh My mind ! our Lord does dear things to us like a

caring Mother. He does hitham to us like an

affectionate Father. This blue-gem hued Lord has

enslaved me and caught me under His spell. He is

indeed my Prabhu and Rakshakan. If You and me join

together in praising this most merciful Lord, no

inauspiciousness will come our way. Diseases like

desire, anger will not torment us. He will chase them

all away…
