Dearest all,

 

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr’w

wonderful verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan.

 

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.

 

ThirumangaiAzhwAr proceeds to plead the Lord of

TirumalA for His unbounded limitless mercy that pours

out on His own out of His Greatest compassion on us.

let us enjoy this nice ten on AzhwAr's plea.

 

kaNNaarkadalsoozh ilangkaikkiRaivanthan,

thiNNaagampiLakkach chalamselavuytthaay!,

viNNOrthozhum vEngkadamaamalaimEya,

aNNaa! adiyEn idaraikkaLaiyaayE. 1.10.1

 

Oh Lord! The One who killed rAvaNan, the king of

lankA, which is surrounded by oceans, by piercing his

strong chest with Your sharp arrows! (Raamaa!) Oh Lord

of ThiruvEmkatam, where even dEvAs come and pay

obeisance to You! aNNA! Please have mercy on me and

alleviate my

sorrows.

 

Today is Sri Manavala muni Thirunakshathram. Aippasi

moolam The above sentiment is echoed by Sri Manavala

mamuni in his Arthi prabandham when he pleads to

Ramanuja..

 

It echoes the same sentiment - when he says:

" adhikAram unDEl arangar iranguvArO?

adhikAram illAthavarkkanrO - ethirAja!

nee iranga vENDuvathu? neeyum adhikArikaLukkE

irangil en seyvOm yAm?

 

In JitanthE StOtra, a similar sentiment is expressed

kvAham athyantha dhurbuddhi: Kva cha aathma hitha

veekshaNam/

yath hitammama dEvEsa tath aagnApaya mAdhava//

 

" I do not know what is good and what is bad for me.

Oh! MAdhava! You decide what is good for my welfare

and grant it "

 

MaNavALa MAmunigal in his Aarthi Prabandham (9)

echoes the same sentiments thus:

" koopathil vizhum kuzhaviyuDan gudhithu avvAbhathai

neekkum annai pOl "
