Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwArs wonderful

verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan.

 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram

yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

 

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the

whole world, to destroy the darkness of

ignorance(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the

Kali dhOsham.

 

Let us enjoy Periya Thirumozhi 8.2.3 on ThiruvEnkatam.

 

The mother of Parakala nAyaki goes on to lament about

her daughter's falling crazy after ThirukkaNNapuram

PerumAL in this ten.

 

In the first verse, AzhwAr says[as Parakala nayaki’s

mother]: The most knowledgeable one- the chief and

director of even Devas- the divine consort of the most

beautiful Periya PiraaTTi- the personification of

Suddha sathvam- the most gorgeous golden like form-

and such Greatest You- why do You need to steal my

daughter’s bangles? What is that which she did: all

that she did is to pay her anjali towards the

direction of your ThirukkaNNapuram. idhenna anyaayam?

(It is unbecoming of such Great You to have stolen her

wrist bangles- .)

 

(When Sowriraja PerumAL said, " Your girl does not have

the feminine qualities of shyness..., you need to

correct her.. " , the mother says..) I kept her at the

top of the building (in order not to listen to others'

and get influenced), she looked at all directions and

looked towards ThirukkaNNa pura- she gets excited

looking at that. She yells, " hey! look at

ThirukkaNNapuram " and rejoices at that. She had even

attempted madal oordhal, by falling in love with

ThirunaRaiyoor Nambhi(He is responsible for her

falling in love with Him). This singer (paaNar) is

bent on her such actions of love for Him. What can I

do? (the singer- " paaNar " is supposed to let the lady

join her lover.. by singing love tunes.- Poorvars say

AzhwAr meant AchAryas here as paaNars here.)

 

'aruvichOr vENGgadam nNIrmalai' eNnRuvaay

veruviNnaaL meyyam viNnavi yirukkiNnRaaL,

'peruguchIrk kaNNa puram'eNnRu pEchiNnaaL

urugiNnaaL, uLmelinN dhaaL idhu veNnkolO! 8.2.3

 

[our ThiruvEnkatam verse]. My girl babbles saying

" Thiruneermalai, ThiruvEmkatam et al, without knowing

what she is speaking. Thirumeyyam- when she hears she

gets exasperated. She exclaims, " The most wealthiest

ThirukkaNNapuram " , she melts at that statement, she

gets thinner and thinner; she suffers languishing.

What a pitiable sight to see my daughter suffering

like this!
