[Guest guest]

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest all,

 

After all AzhwAr’s anubhavams, we have the anubhavams

of remaining two AzhwArs in this series and they have

covered more than fifty percent of the verses on

ThiruvEnkatam. They are NammAzhwAr and Thirumangai

AzhwAr. Let us enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr first.

 

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

(ajj~nAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali

dhOsham.

 

Thirumangai AzhwAr went right upto NaimisaaraNyam,

BadrikAsramam and other divya desams in North and sang

the wondreful verses. When we are ecstatic about

something that great, we would like to share and enjoy

with others. AzhwAr could not foind others who

udnerstand Tamil in the North.

 

He sang the Ahobilam verses -singavEL kunRam... and

still it was telugu speaking area..

 

ThirumangaiAzhwAr after his anubhavam on SingavEL

kunRam, was called by the Lord " AzhwArE! Why are you

exerting yourself at SingavEL kunRam calling the Divya

dEsam : " deivam allaal sella voNNaa SingavEL kunRam "

(other than DevAs, none can access this sthalam) in

the last ten?. Not to worry. Here in ThiruvEmkatam, I

am showing myself so easily

accessible for everyone. Come and be blessed! Let us

go to TirumalA along with AzhwAr.

ThiruvEmkatamudaiyaan Sri Srinivasan is none other

than KsheeraabhdhinAthan and KaNNan. GopAlan- the One

who befell the fragrant Kurundha tree- My Master- The

Red Lotus eyed Beautiful Lord- Pundareekaakshan- The

One who is having His YoganithrA on the Milk

Ocean- The One who conquered pakAsuran- Sriman

Narayanan is showing Himself so gracefully at this

sthalam, ThiruvEmkatam, where lovely fishes jump with

joy in beautiful ponds.

 

yEsha naaraayaNa sreemaan... - Sriman Narayanan from

Paramapadham reclines at Milky ocean [ThiruppARkadal]

for the sake of devas.. and then descend down to

vibhava avathArams as Rama, krishna and also in divya

desams as archA moorthis... Hence the reference is

made here.

 

when the kurundha trees fell, even the fragrant

flowers did not fall off the tree. He ensured the same

as the flowers were offering the fragrance for the

pleasure of the Lord.

 

empiraan- My Lord- My upakaarakan- What upakaaram

[help] did He do here for AzhwAr? He only had saved

Himself and that has got nothing to do with AzhwAr?

why did he say em piraan?

 

That is because when He saves Himself from these

asurAs and hurdles, AzhwArs consider these events as

being helpful to them - for His deeds.. They consider

His pleasure alone as their sustenance. His savefy

alone is their concern. Hence em piraan.

 

Are those two marudha trees AsurAs? Due to Narada's

curse (saapam) the sons of KubEra became the trees in

Nandhan's backyard. - says SrImad Bhagawatham. Thus,

though they just stood there as trees for being saved

by KaNNan, the cowherd group considered them as asurAs

(with an apprehension always because the asuRAs enter

into the wheel, the calf etc.. to kill

KaNNan) due to their intense love and concern for

Kutti. AzhwAr also follows the same as he too is

concerned. (in PeriyAzhwAr Thirumozhi 3.1.3,

PeriyAzhwAr AzhwAr says: poimmAya marudhAna

vasuraraai).
