Dearest all,

 

At first, Amudhanaaar mentioned about Nammaazhwaar and

 

 

Thirumangai AzhwAr due to Emperumaanaar’s

extradordinary abhimaanam and devotion, reverence

towards them. Now all aazhwaars are being glorified

one by one and hence amudhaanaar now takes up [again]

Parakala, Paraankusar. Like AndAL, Neelan [Thirumangai

AzhwAr] sang more verses in naaykiA bhAvam and sang

madal verses.

 

Let us enjoy the 17th verse on EmperumAnAr’s

enjoyment of Parakala [Thirumangai AzhwAr]:

 

muniyaar thuyarangaL munthilum inpangaL moyththitilum

kaniyaar manamkaNNa mangain^in Raanaik kalaiparavum

thaniyaa NnaiyaiththaN tamizcheytha neelan

Ranakkulakil

iniyaanai engaL iraamaa NnuchanaivanN theythinarE. 17

 

Emperumaan- bhaktharAvi PerumAL- the Lord of

ThirukkaNNamangai- the Lord being praised by the

Vedas- the unparalleled, huge male elephant like

Emperumaan- in the standing posture was sung by Neelan

- ThirumangaiAzhwAr so beautifully to the great

satisfaction quenching the thirst of Bhagawathas fully

with his pAsurams in Tamil,that are vedic truths in

Simple cool and chaste tamil. Sri Ramanujacharya., who

is fond of and reveres highly of this Thirumangai

AzhwAr, is my Master. The greatness of all Bhagawathas

who reach Sri Ramanuja as the only refuge is: Whatever

sorrows/ unhappy events strike, they never get

depressed and worry about them thinking " oh no! I have

this problem, etc.. " ; nor do they jump with joy when

there is a flood of happy events in their lives. They

are such paramaikaanthins. (Thus, if you have taken

refuge at the Lotus Feet of Sri Ramanuja, you too need

not feel unduly perturbed by the happy/unhappy events

happening in your life!)

 

Thirumangai AzhwAr considered being united with the

Lord as swargam and being away from Him as narakam

[Hell]. He took the role of Parakaala naayaki and sang

verses expressing “her†languishing and suffering

from the pangs of separation. EmperumAnAr who

considers everything else other than the Lord’s

lotus Feet as mere blades of grass, involves himself

with the wonderful verses of Thirumangai AzhwAr. Same

is applicable to the disciples of Ramanuja. For them,

being with him [sri Ramanuja] is sukham [pleasure] and

being away from him is pain. They always desire to be

with Sri Ramanujacharya.

 

Thani aanaiyai- Unparalleled lone [oppAr mikkAr

illaadga maa ,aayan] male Elephant- The Lord of

ThirukkaNNamangai- Bhakthar – Avi- PerumAL [The life

[aavi] of devotees]. This is also applicable to Sri

Ramanuja as well.
