Dearest all,

 

After Poigai, bhootha, Pey, Thirumazhisai Kulasekara

and ThiruppANAzhwAr anubhavams, let us now continue on

PeriyAzhwAr anubhavams.

1.5.3

 

In this ten pAsurams, PeriyAzhwAr enjoys the little

darling Kutti KaNNan waving His small hand towards the

moon with awe…

 

As Kutti KaNNan grows rapidly day by day), he crawls

and sits. He has crawled out of the house and plays

with sand. He looks up to see the bright moon in the

skies. He is so excited and happy to see (as if it is

His toy) and babbles something, waving His cute little

hand and fingers ..

 

AzhwAr enjoys in the role of yasodhA calling the moon

to play with KaNNan. Even present times, one can see

mothers calling the monn to play with their child.

(especially during feeding time)

 

The current verse that we are enjoying means:

 

Oh chandrA! (moon) even if you have made yourself,

fully bright spreading your cool bright rays all over

the world with your shining brightness, you can never

ever be equal to that of my darling son's divine face.

This Boy- the most wonderful and mysterious, one who

resides in ThiruvEnkatam,- my son- keeps calling you.

Come quick in order not to give pain to his cute hands

which keep waving and inviting you.

 

The moon says: If He is your kuttan; your Lord; your

son; your nectar, so what? Why should I come? Where am

I ? where is He (on the sand). I need to throw light

on the whole world. Look at my bright, cool, rays. How

can my mind let me play with him, the baby.

 

She answers: You borrowed and begged this brightness.

It is not yours. Also, you become nothing on new moon

day. He is ParanjOthi. He is Maayan. (you may

disappear and come back.) . he lets the whole universe

get into his small stomach, including you. He is there

elaready on ThiruvEnkatam. Don’t think he is on the

ground. He is at such a high altitude near you:- )

When one attains the feet of ThiruvEnkata vaaNan, he

can get all wealth from this Lord and have his sins

removed. He is Sarva vitthagan- full of Saamarthyam

and Sarva kaarNathvam -says Thiruvaaymozhi PiLLai.

[most beautiful and full of KalyANa guNAs- says Sri

Manavala Mamaunigal- for the same word] He shows His

palms and waves at you, see which is more beautiful?

You or His palm?

[Definitely not you- oh dear moon]
