Dearest all,

 

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr’s Periya

Thirumozhi.

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.

1.9.4

 

Oh Lord of ThiruvEmkatam, where dark, big clouds land

to relax on the earth! I have been born in all bodies

(in various births), died very many times, and not

performed any good deed at all in any of my previous

births (otherwise I would not have been suffering here

in this samsaaram!); I have been under lots and lots

of sufferings and sorrows; and now adiyEn has reached

You here and held You as the only refuge. Please save

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

 

Similar is echoed in NammAzhwAr PAsuram:

 

maaRi maaRip pala piRappum piRandhu adiyai adaindhu

uLLam thERi/

eeru il inbatthu iru veLLam yaan mmozhginEn/

paaRip paaRi asurar tham pal kuzhAngaL neeRu ezha paai

paRavai onRu/

yERi veeRRiRundhAi unnai ennuL neekkEl enthAi/(2.6.8)

 

" From one to another, I have been undergoing various

births; and finally I have attained Your feet and my

mind has become crystal clear; I am fully floodded

with Great Blissful ocean of Happiness; You jumped

immediately, boarded and sat on GarudA and killed the

groups and groups of asurAs; My pithA! Please do NOT

separate Yourself from my mind. "

 

Punarappi Maranam Punarappi Jananam " the cycle of life

and death continues. The jeevatma does papam or

punyam in this world and undergoes the svarga vaasam

or Naraga vaasam and then comes back to the world with

the vaasanas of the previous birth. Vedantha also says

" GathA Gatham Kaama kaamA labhanthe. Thus the

jeevatmas do punyam or papam in this world, both of

which will ultimately bring them back to this world

only.

 

All this is mentioned by commentators for us to

increase our Vairakhyam [detachment]. Only when we get

little detached from this world we can think about the

other world (Bhagavaan and Bhagavat vishayam). [this

paragraph is the extract from Smt Sumithra

Varadarajan’s brilliant post on Thirumalai pasuram]
