[Guest guest]

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest all,

 

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr's Periya

Thirumozhi.

 

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.

1.9.7

 

7. Oh Lord of ThiruvEmkatam, surrounded by most

beautiful gardens roamed by elephants! Oh Strongest

Lion like EmperumaanE! I have committed enormous

numerous sins, without my knowledge when I was young;

After I grew up, I lived (and worked) for others

(women) and have become poor (in my jnAnam and

vivEkam)! Now adiyEn has reached You. Please save me

and take me over to You as Your eternal servant. (Here

" yEzhaiyaanEn " means not materially poor; i.e. being

equipped with great wealth is not being rich; only the

realization of our relationship with the Lord is being

aware of our richness. That's the reason AzhwAr also

starts Periya Thirumozhi- " vaadinEn " - means: I have

been fading in my life, though I have been a king!).

 

The Lord appeared to have asked the AzhwAr : how can

say that the sareeram is so rotten and useless. It is

meant to house your jeevan and you need to make use of

the limbs and paets for kaimkaryam. Vaay avanai allaal

maRRonRum thozhaa.

 

AzhwAr replies: exactly. I have not been doing.

That’s why I am suffering in samsaaric afflictions.

Lord says: You were a child and did not know; then you

were youth; hence it is ok.

AzhwAr says: No. Lakshamana was born a kaimkaryasree..

LakshamanO Lakshmi Sampanna: Prahada achieved bhakti

at the age of five. Dhruvan is another example. So,

childhood does not mean that we can while away our

time. One should be blessed. Hence I wasted my child

hood. Youth- I had committed lots of sins; While

adulthood- I worked only for others and became poor.

[We may wonder- if we work for others, it is selfess

service. Why is it wrong? Why does AzhwAr say?- He

means: I had worked for those young women whom I had

fallen for… and wasted my wealth, age.. and became

poor. I have not been blessed with spiritual wealth.

Hence poor. Now I have come to You. Please save me.

 

Similar is echoed in Thirumangai AzhwAr’s

Oppiliappan pasurams: vaeNdaen maNavaazhkkai viNNagar

meyavanae!

 

saathalum piRaththalu menRivaRRaik kaathalsey yaathuna

kazhaladainthEn,

Othalsey naanmaRai yaakiyumbar aathalsey moovuru

vaanavanE!,

aaNdaay unaik kaaNbathO raruLenak karuLuthiyEl

vENdEnmanai vaazhkkaiyai viNNagar mEyavanE! (Periya

Thirumozhi 6.1.9)

 

(An excellent one!) saadhalum piRatthalum enRu

ivaRRai/ kaadhal seyyadhu un kazhal adaindhEn.. Oh

EmperumaanE! The One who is the Nirvaahakan of four

Vedas; who is the sarIrI of Brahmaa, Indran and Sivan

(the greatest trio of Devas) et al..! Realizing the

birth and death vicious cycles, and the endlessness of

that, with no further desire (for future births), I

have held on to Your Feet! Please grant me the bliss

of seeing You and let me be blessed with Your

darshan.! Oh Lord of ViNNagaram! (I) Don’t want

this samsaaric affliction.
