 NACHIYAR THIRUMOZHI - 1


PASURAM : 504 – 513


1.THAIORU THINGALUM


KANNANAI PERA KAAMANAI THOZHUDAL


We have seen earlier that Andal initiated and conducted the PAvai nOnbu to get Kannan as her husband by singing the 30 ThiruppAvai pAsurams. Yet she did not get the anubhavam of uniting with HIM. After a lot of thinking she decides to pray to Manmathan or kAman, as it is believed that his flower arrows have the power of uniting lovers. Hence she prays to him to get her united with her EmperumAn.

504.  ManmadhanE!, throughout the month of Thai, I shall clean the floor and decorate with beautiful Kolams, for worshiping you. Then I shall fill the street with soft sand during the waning period of the first half of “MASI” month so that it feels soft for your feet. I shall fast and pray to you and to your brother sAman  asking ,  ”whether I will succeed”? I would request you both to help me in getting the opportunity to personally serve “Thiruvenkatamudaiyan”, who carries the ChakrAyudam which emanates hot fire sparks. (1)

505. KAmadhevA!, after spreading and decorating the path that you will come through with white pure silt , I shall bathe in the riverbed before dawn. Seeking your help, I will try and  do yagnam offering  ,dry sticks (முள்ளில்லா  சுள்ளி) devoid of thorns, into the fire and perform the Nonbu. In return you will have to help me Unite with the blue hued “Thirumal”, by writing HIS name on the  honey dripping flower arrows and targeting and shooting at the One who burst open bakAsuran’s (crane) mouth. (2)

506. In order to become one with “Lord ThiruvengadanAthan”, I prayed at your feet performing  the Nonbu, offering flowers like Umatham and Murukkam , at all three times of the day like morning, noon and evening. Do not give a chance for me to say with a boiling heart, scolding you and pronouncing that “you are a liar”. Make an arrow of flower bouquet and meditating HIS name “Govinda” in my heart ,please let me  unite me with the astounding Light called “VenkatanAthan”. (3)

507. Oh glorious Manmatha since ancient times, I have written your name on the walls, further I have dedicated drawings of flags with sharks, horses, beautiful damsels with fans (சாமரம்) and sugarcane bow for you especially. Since my childhood, I have determined and prayed , that I shall be only for The Dwarakadeesh KaNNan (துவரைப் பிரானுக்கே ). Please ensure that You unite me with Him at the earliest. (4)

508. ManmadhanE!, It is not fair, If The offerings that are kept by The BrAhmaNs  to give in the yAgAs they perform for the Devas  are smelt and taken by forest fox. In the same way, other than “Thirumal” ,I shall not surrender myself to any human being  . I have dedicated my body and soul to Lord ThirumAl who bears the Shanku and Chakaram on his  body.    I will not bear my life if anyone ever tries to get me married to humans. (5)

 509. KAmadhEvA! , with the help of the young expertise , who are well aware of the rules in the lead, I shall do the NOnbu, daily facing you on your path ,with a clear mind until the auspicious “Panguni Uthiram” day. In return, you should make the vision (திருஷ்டி) of the divine eyes of the Lotus hued Lord who has the colour of the dark black water filled rainy clouds, whose colour is like that of kAyAmpoo, and who has the brilliance of kAkkaNampoo, fall on me , and thus bless me.(6)

510. ManmadhanE! , I shall worship you performing the nOnbu, with the help of well-versed scholars in the field chant  the hyms, and spread rice kernels and sugarcane and offer prasadam made of rice, jaggery (karuppu katti) and aval. You should help me , to make the divine hands of the Lord Thiruvikrama who once measured all the worlds, touch and embrace my body. Will  you give me this boon that will last in the world for ever?. (7)

511. Oh smart and glorious ManmathanE! , consider the plight that I am in , with a body full of dirt, and unoiled hair that is let loose, my mouth and lips have become dried and pale due to the observance of the nOnbu , eating only once a day . Now please listen to what I have to say. To add glory to my womanhood ,you should try and help me get the bhAgyam of doing “PAda sEvA” to my Lord KESAVA. (8)

512. I have been praying three times a day, whole heartedly bowing my head and offering flowers at your feet. If I don’t become entitle to flawlessly serve the divine feet of “THIRUMAL”, who is blue hued like the water that surrounds the world, I will have to cry “AmmA”, in distress and with a broken heart. You will have to bear the curse for that sin. The plight that you have put me in is very similar to abandoning the ox and starving it after extracting all the work from it in the field by its master. (9)

513. In This last pAsuram Andal says, that she prayed at the feet of Manmathan, which has the kazhal, who possess the Sugarcane bow and the flower arrows. She put forth the request before him to unite her with the Lord “MANIVANNAN”, who killed the KuvalayApEtam elephant by plucking its tusk and slayed the BakAsuran bird by tearing its beak apart. She goes on to say that those who recite these ten Tamil verses strung as a garland sung by ‘’KODAI’’, who is the daughter  of PERIAZHWAR, the chieftain of SRIVILLIPUTHUR which has mountain like castles, will certainly attain the Lotus feet of Lord THIRUMAL.

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

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.

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

 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. May you be praised for ever and ever and ever and for many crores of years to come as we stand beneath your Divine fee

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.
