 NACHCHIYAR TIRUMOZHI 2*


PASURAMS 514 – 523


NAmam Ayiram....


Realising the intense intention of the Aychiyar girls to unite with Him, KaNNan is startled and confused at the thought that, “why should the Ayar girls be worried to get united with me, when it is me, who have to be really worried about the union with them? For the same reason, instead of approaching me, why do they seek the help of a different deity?”  So kaNNan decides to appear before AndAl, to help her in the similar way He helped the gopikAs of gokulam by stopping their offerings to Lord Indra and diverting it to Govardhana mountain. 

Here AndAl tries to ignore Him and even picks up a tiff with him arguing and fighting, not to spoil and destroy the small sand castles that they have made for their deity kAmadevan. “engal siRRil vandu sidaiyELE”

514.Oh! Lord nArAyaNA, as well as nara,(as you incarnated as rAma- the human form)possessing supreme quality’s, celebrated by the celestials with thousand names,(நாமம் ஆயிரம் ஏத்தநின்ற)Oh! Lord who took the form of Nara-nArAyaNa (நாராயணாநரனே)to educate the people of the world in badarikAshramam, we can hardly be at peace, if we get our mother in law YaShOdA’s son (I.e you) as our husband who is already very mischievous. As this is the Tamil month Panguni, when kAman will grant our wishes, we have made small castles with silt on the streets to please him, thereby to attain you. Oh! Mischievous Shreedhara , consort of mahAlakshmi please do not ruin our sandcastles (எங்கள் சிற்றில்வந்து சிதையேலே). (1)

515. Oh! Lord KaNNA our saviour, at the time of the final deluge, you saved the world with such compassion, taking the form of a small child lying on a single banyan leaf. As you are all powerful, with no hassle you create everything just with your sankalpam (thought).Now at this moment, we have created small sand castles throughout the day, with much enthusiasm not even minding our resultant back pain. Instead of giving a thorough look at it and making us feel happy, why do you intend to trample it? Are we not worthy of your mercy ? May be it is our sins that drive us away from your mercy. (2)

516.Oh lord! Who reclines on the deep wavy pArkaDal (milky ocean), who took the form of the majestic lion Nrisimha, you saved elephant Gajendra from the clutches of the crocodile. Why are you bent upon giving us just a glance, when we are wholly desirous of you? Straining ourselves, we have created with our bangled hands these sandcastles with pure silt. We beg You please do not come and damage it. (3)

517. Oh! Lord with lotus eyes, (punDareekAksha), and complexion of the dark rain bearing clouds ! When interacting, Your words and actions madden us, while Your magical face mesmerises like a spell. Fearing that you and the people might gauge us to be innocent insignificant little girls, we are reluctant to say anything that may hurt your feelings, so as not to loose You. Hence please don’t smash our sandcastles.(4)

518. Oh mischievous mAdhavA, kEshavA! Even if you destroy the beautifully created sand castles on the street made out of sieved white sand with great effort by us, and not appreciate it seeing with Your beautiful eyes, we will not get angry on you, though be greatly disappointed. We loose ourselves the very moment we look at your eyes which are very captivating. (5)

519. Oh! Valorous Lord, building a bridge across the ocean, ( sEtubandhan) You weeded out the asuras by making Lanka a battle field for the sake of Seetha. Here, having the sand castles as the reason, everyday You trouble us. Oh! Raghuveera! We are young innocent girls. Please do not trouble us! (6)

520. Oh! krishNA, having the complexion of the vast tumultuous ocean! You built a bridge across Sethu. It will be very fascinating, if you have all the arguments with Your well learned equals, who can understand. What is the use of tormenting innocent girls like us?  We swear upon all your wives. Please do not crush our cute sandcastles. (7)

 521. Ocean hued KrishNa! holding the resplendent chakra in Your hand! Using a round mouthed pot, winnow (சிறுசுளகு) and fine silt collected in the pot, willingly we play making sandcastles.  What pleasure do You get in trampling our efforts? Do not touch and irritate us. Do you know? Even the most sweetest thing [here AndAl refers to KrishNa, as they like Him the most] will be bitter, if our tastes become bitter.

522.leaving KrishNa behind, all the girls enter the courtyard of the house and lock themselves. Still they find Him inside as He is all prevalent.

Oh! Govinda! You measured the whole world with one leg and extended the other one to reach even paramapadam. With such greatness, is it fair on your part to ruin our freshly built sandcastles as well as our heart, giving just a beautiful smile? Not stopping there, if you even embrace us, What will the people, who see, think about us? (9)

523. AndAl, the young loving daughter of vittuchittan residing in Srivilliputhur, where vEdic scholars chant and perform vEdic deeds, has recited these tamil words as said by the innocent young girls of AyarpAdi, playing in the streets, addressing KrishNa saying, "Oh! Lord, who is the sweet consort of sItA, please do not ruin our small sand castles. Those who practice saying these verses will reach the permanent abode, VaikunTham without any shortcomings .

Divya Prabandham

Divya Prabandham also called Nalaayira Divya prabandham consists of nearly 4000 hymns.  These 4000 Tamil verses are composed by 12 Tamil poet-saints called Azhwars who were immersed in their devotion to Lord Vishnu. The 12 Azhwars sang these songs about various sacred shrines and the presiding Deity of the shrine, that came to be known as the Divya Desams. There are 108 Divya Desams. 105 in India, 1 in Nepal  and the last two believed to be beyond the Earthly realms. The 12 Azhwars Poigai azhwar Boothath azhwar Peyazhwar Thirumazhisai azhwar Nammazhwar Madhurakavi azhwar Kulasekara azhwar Peri azhwar  Andal  Thondaradipodi azhwar Thiruppan azhwar Thirumangai azhwar       The Nalaayira Divya Prabandham also known as “DRAVIDA VEDAM” or “TAMIL VEDAM” became lost after the period of the Azhwars. Later it was the scholar-saint and Acharya “NATHAMUNI “ who in the 10th century retrieved and compiled this treasure in the present form which’s the pride of Tamil Classical Literature.      Natham

NACHCHIYAR TIRUMOZHI 14 PASURAMS 637 to 646 *paTTi mEyndOr* After all the hardships that AndAl faced in uniting with the Lord, that she explained starting from " thaiyoru thingkaLum “, finally she gets relieved by having a darshan of the Lord when He shows up, which she explains interestingly in this last decade, as a conversation between herself and her gopika friends. AndAl, in the first half of each pAsuram putsforth a question asking,  "have you seen (கண்டீரே) kaNNan?" describing about Him. The later half comes as an answer saying (விருந்தாவனத்தே கண்டோமே) " *virundAvanaTTE kaNDOmE"* by the gopis. The essence of 'paramabakthi ' required to attain Him and the resultant 'pErinbam' attained out of it are clearly explained here.   637 * patti mEyndhOr kArERu * baladhEvaRku Or kIzhk kanRAy *  ittIRittu viLaiyAdi * ingkE pOdhak kaNdIrE? ** ittamAna pasukkaLai * inidhu maRiththu nIrUtti * vittuk koNdu viLaiyAda * virundhAvanaththE kaNdOmE (2) (1) (6

THIRUPPAVAI PASURAM 1 Andal assumes herself to be the cowherdess of  ‘AyarpAdi’, awakens her peers to follow a certain discipline in view of attaining everlasting happiness and service to the Lord. Eventually selecting the month of “MARGAZHI” and as a monthlong process she sang 30 pAsurams (one for each day) for the “PAVAI NONBU”, called “THIRUPPAVAI”. Each pAsuram ends with the special phrase “ELOr EmpAvAi”, meaning Oh, my dear friends which is the speciality of ThiruppAvai. 474.mArgazhit tingaL, madi niRainDa nannALAl *  nIrADap pOduvIr! pOduminO nErizhaiyIr! *  sIr malgum AyppADich selvach siRumeergAL! *  kUrvEl koDuntozhilan nandagOpan kumaran **  ErArnda kaNNi, yasOdai iLanjchingam *  kArmEnich sengaN kadir madiyam pOl mugattAn *  nArAyaNanE namakkE paRai taruvAn *  pArOr pugazhap paDindElOr empAvAy (1) 1.MARGAZHI THINGAL.

 PERIYAZHVAR TIRUMOZHI - 3.6 PASURAMS 275 – 285 The glory of kaNNan playing the flute. 275: naavalam periya theevinil vaazhum* naNGgaimeer_kaaL! idhu Or aRpudham kELeer* thoovalam puriyudaiya thirumaal* thooyavaayil kuzhalOsai vazhiyE* kOvalar siRumiyar iLaNGgoNGgai- kudhuhalippa* udaluLavizhndhu* eNGgum- kaavalum kadandhu kayiRumaalaiyaaki* vandhu kavizhndhu n^inRanarE.* (2) (1) 275. Oh beautiful girls who live in the island of jambudweepa (nAvalan teevu)! Come and listen to this wonder!! The consort of MahAlakshmi, holding the pure, right coiled conch (valampuri), is now playing the flute keeping it on His purest lips. The girls of AyarpAdi lost themselves listening to the mesmerising tunes . As their emotions rose high, they started going towards the music leaving their boundaries and they all joined together like flowers of a string to listen to the music. Seeing kaNNan playing the flute they put their heads down in shame. (1) 276: idavaNarai idaththOLodu saayththu* iruhai koodappu

*PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI 9* *PASURAMS 730—740* *Van tALiNai* (thanayan vanam pugath dhasarathan pulambudhal) In this decade AzhvAr talks about the misfortune of king dasharathA. He thinks that, there can be none like DasarathA, who would have    suffered to this extent, the separation of rAma. DasarathA's grief and regret of sending rAma to the forest is vividly explained here. 730 * vanthALiniNai vaNangki vaLanagaram thozhudhEththa * mannanAvAn ninRAyai * ariyaNai mEl irundhAyai * nedungkAnam padarap pOgu enRAL ** em irAmAvO! * unaip payandha kaikEsi than soRkEttu * nanRAga nAnilaththai ALviththEn * nanmaganE! unnai nAnE (1) 730.

PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI - 7 PASURAMS 708 TO 718 Alai neeL karumbu According to various circumstances and the state of mind one is in, one can enjoy Lord in different kinds of relationship, like husband and wife, mother and child, teacher and student or as two friends. Here in this tirumozhi, the motherly instinct of AzhwAr becomes prominent. Not finding his child close to him, he personifies himself as Devaki and tries to reminiscence each and every stage of kaNNan's childhood. The time frame here is that, Devaki laments this when she sees KaNNan after He frees her on the death of Kamsa.

 PERIAZHVAR THIRUMOZHI. PALLANDU. Pasurams- 1 - 12 During his triumph procession through the streets of Madurai city, emperumAn showed himself along with PiraaTTi to  periyAzhwAr. On seeing bhagavAn in the most beautiful form  revealing  his auspicious qualities such as saundharyam (beauty), etc., AzhvAr was concerned and out of great fear started  thinking that, “in this world which is controlled by kAlam (time), what bad might happen to him?, and what evil eyes people might cast on Him”. So he performed mangaLAsAsanam (well-wishing thoughts) to emperumAn‘s divine and beautiful form to stay forever from any evil eyes. Pasuram 1: pallANdu pallANdu pallAyiraththANdu pala kOdi nURAyiram mallANda thiN thOL maNivaNNA! un sEvadi sevvi thirukkAppu # He starts the first pasuram saying “Pallaandu Pallaandu “ praising the Lord who has conquered the enemies with His strong arms.
