Today’s verse is Periya Thourmizh 1.8.9. 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. pEsuminthirunNaamamettezhutthum sollinNinRu, pinnarum, pEsuvaarthammaiyuyyavaangkip piRappaRukkum piraanidam, vaasamaamalarnNaaRuvaar pozhilsoozhtharumulagukkellaam, dhEsamaaytthigazhummalai thiruvEngkadamadainNeNYchamE! (2) 1.8.9 Emperumaan- The One who protects and saves from their Birth cycles, those who utter Parama bhOgya, most Divine Thiru ashtaakshara manthram always- stays at ThiruvEmkatam which is fully surrounded by the lovely gardens full of most fragrant flowers, which is standing like the Thilakam (pinnacle- Zenith- the Highest point) of all worlds. Oh mind! Reach here! (here AzhwAr says in the first line " pEsumin Thirunaamam ettezhutthum solli " -means: Utter! (pEsumin) the most divine Ashtaaksharam; it is also to be read as " pEsum in Thirunaamam " means: Utter (pEsum) the sweetest to the tongues of those who utter (in) Thirunaamam ettezhutthum (ashtaaksharam). Thiru ashtaakshara mantra is the essence of all mantras. HaritAsmruti (3.65) declares " Whatever a man ought to know is all contained in ashtAksharA, that is the VedAs viz. Rg, Yajur, sAmam & the atharvan and other collection of words " .The meaning(s) {whether considered as one sentence, two or three etc etc } that arise out of ashtAksharam is the final essence of all vedAs. All the tattvA, hitA & purushArtA is made crystal clear by it. One will remain in peace & with ecstasy be performing the kainkaryams to the Divya Dampati, since all the ignorance, confusions etc arising out of studying the views of various philosophers[vedic /non-vedic) on one’s own accord & building castles of ignorant speculations being wiped off by the esoteric meaning(s)of ashtAksharam - the nectar (amrutam) of knowledge churned from the sea of upanishads. That’s why sAstrAs glorify ashtAksharam to such a extent. The meanings of ashtAksharam once understood will yield the faultless jn~Anam. The true knowledge with no doubts whatsoever, with unshakable faith & with ample clarity on UpAyA (means) & Upeyam (goal to be attained) will surely evolve out after understanding the divine meanings of ashtAksharam. [from Sri Anand Karalapakkam Swami’s article] Such Omnipotent Lord Paramapadha nAthan is here at ThiruvEntakam. Oh Mind Reach there-says AzhwAr.
