Dear SrI vaishNavAs,

 

kamalakkaNNan en kaNNinuLLAn

kAnban avan kaNgalAlE – (tvm 1.9.9)

 

 

Details presented in this post:

 

1. Prabhandam - pAsuram 31 & 32

2. Pearls from the poems

 

SS-31

 

teLivAi teruLait tiraTTik koDukkum *

eLivAi iruLazhikkum ERRam – oLiviTTu *

chindA maNiyAga seerSaTAri nUlaruLum *

sendA maraittiruttAL sErndu.

 

nammAzhvAr's vAkku gives the absolute gyAnam without any quandary.

It destroys the darkness of agyAnam. Also, it brings tiruvaruL to us

easily. So, it is compared to a divinely chindAmaNi.

 

SS-32

sErndiDum Iyyanga seerSara NAgatiyAl *

pArtthanin sAratipOl pAngAga – AarttigaLai *

neekki aRivUTTi ninmalamAi mARanaruL *

nOkkuDaiya pattukkaL nURu.

 

nammAzhvAr's vAkku is compared to SrI KrishNA Himself. Whatever The

Lord as an AchAryan did, are easily accomplished by AzhvAr pAsurams.

Both help in removing the obstacles in acquiring true knowledge and

then imparting the essential knowledge.

 

Pearls from the poems:

While being a chindAmaNi in destroying the darkness(agyAnam),

AzhvAr's pAsurams are like the dark-hued nandagOpan kumaran Himself.
