872.Oh primordial Lord!, (arangamA naharuLAnE !) who safeguards all the three worlds at the time of deluge by keeping it in your stomach and later releases it back during creation. Oh Lord! Who abodes in the city of Srirangam. By safeguarding the senses and emerging out of the ill effects of the sins committed as a consequence of the active senses, we have been able to victoriously win over Yama and even walk over the heads of yamakinkaras ascertaining our victory. All this was possible only because of the power of nAma smaraNam and nAma sankeerthanam/ nAmochAraNam. Listening to the utterances of your  name, yama bhattas ran away, getting scared to come closer.(1)

nAmam kaTTra Avalippu : ITHEEHYAM 

why nAmam is used by AzhvAr rather than mantram?

A dialogue between Nanjeer and Bhattar goes thus:

Chanting of mantram needs some protocol, whereas nAmam chanting can be done by anyone at anytime without any specific rules and regulations. How is this possible? Was the question raised by Nanjeer.

Taking a dip in the Ganges to wade off one’s sins, one doesn't need to prepare himself by taking a dip in a puddle before that. In the same way, one doesn't need to prepare oneself for uttering the tirunAmam.  NAmochAraNam itself will wade off the sins and qualify a person explained Bhattar to Nanjeer.

874.Oh! Lord, (arangamA naharuLAnE! ) As per the vEdic scriptures, even if a human being would get to live for a hundred years, half of his lifetime goes off in sleep. The remaining fifty years is spent growing from an infant (totally dependent on the mother) to childhood(spent all the time in playing). Then, youth hood is spent enjoying the worldly pleasures. (Here AzhvAr doesn't even want to say the word youth hood, scared that even the utterance of the word will lead him, fall prey to it. So he refers it as adAhum).  Disease, old age and the inevitable difficulties arising  out of it snatches away the rest of our life. With all these disadvantages, in store I would never wish to be reborn in this world. (3)

Caught under the influence of deadly sins, even kshatrabandhu (the enemy of the Kshatriya), was able to attain moksham (parAngati) just by chanting the three akshara nAmam GOVINDA. Even after understanding  from this story, how Lord SRI RANGANATHA, is so merciful towards his devotees, and that he is readily available in this kshEtram to come running for the sake of his devotees, why do these jeevAs turn a blind eye towards him and run behind the samsAric life? Oh so sad. (அந்தோ). (4)

Story of kshatrabandhu : (Vishnudarma -97)

"Kshatrabandhu" was the son of "Vishvavradhan", of the surya dynasty. Because of his vicious deeds, he was hated by all the people and he was thrown out into the forest. Having a bow and arrow in his hand, even in the forest he kept hurting those he encountered on his way. One day he happen to meet a sage stuck in the deep waters of a pond who came into the forest loosing his way on account of his severe thirst. As a result of meeting a sage, his mind changed and he rescued the sage and even got him some lotus bulbs, for him to eat. After getting to know about kshatrabandhu, the sage advised him to keep chanting "Govinda" nAmam. Upon constantly chanting the name, slowly his shadripu (six enemies namely KAma, krOda, lObha, mOha, mada and mAtsaryam) started to leave from him and he was born in a Vedic family and constantly being a Govinda devotee, he attained the realm of God. 

Hence one can understand, nAmasankeerthanam will relieve one from all the obstruction and give way to attain the desired goal.

Thinking that, experiencing pleasures out of a women is ultimate, people take up tedious task of employing themselves to work under others. To satisfy the needs of these women like clothing, ornaments and wealth, they toil through the day and by day fall, come back tired, eat and sleep off without even having time to relax. It is so surprising that, in this process, they only try and wish to feed this body with food, without realising that there is the Atma, which has to be fed with the nectar of Bhagavat anubhavam, as devotees of arangan wearing the cool Tulasi garland, by way of singing, dancing and exerting kainkaryams towards him. (5)

Raising a wall of hardship, similar to a rampart, Oh! JeevAs, who are so proud about your own bodies, you don't realise that this body is not permanent. It is not a strong castle, it has holes everywhere. Nine holes including the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and excretory ones, in addition to holes that expel sweat etc (ஓட்டை மாடம்), which will one day disintegrate. Without realising that Lord Ranganatha is eternally present as a wall of dharma and without offering servitude at his lotus feet, why are you giving importance in decking up your body that is going to fall prey to the vultures after demise? (6)

The erudite vEdic scholars, who have delved deep and practiced all vEdic scriptures, will never be interested in knowing, learning , or reading the religions and its texts that doesn't adhere to vEdic scriptures, referring here to Buddhism and Jainism. Oh! Great men, even if my head is guillotined, so that I die or may not, I shall always be uttering the truth. Understand that, there can be none other than SRI Rama who brought down the empire of Lanka, with his single bow, who is the supreme. (7)

Oh! Lord, who abodes in the city of Srirangam(arangamA naharuLAnE! ), the non-believers (nAstikAs), who condemn, developing hatred towards you, in addition to those cursed souls who are less privileged to enjoy you, criticise you extensively. They don't realise that, their own actions are enough to turn against them like diseases and finish them. Further, AzhvAr here goes to the extent of even telling that, such people can be brought to face dire consequences leading to extreme punishment. (8)

ninpAl poruppariyanahaL pESil - (ITHEEHYAM -170)

(Evidence from ithihAsam- Vishnu dharma 66-99) (samvAdam/discussion between Bhattar and Nanjeer)

Once when mahAbali, the grandson of King prahlAd was using mean words about the Lord, King Prahlad immediately uttered saying," instead of using mean words about the lord in my presence, you can even slay off my head which will be of greater help for me". He even went to the extent of cursing Bali saying, “you will loose your kingdom on account of this”.

In this context, Nanjeer asked Bhattar, “why did Prahlad who is non desirous of wealth curse him saying he will loose his wealth rather than saying he will not attain moksham?

Bhattar replied saying, if one has to punish a dog they will have to starve it from the dirt and faecal matter, which are its liking than abstaining it from sweet smelling sandalwood. Like wise, mahAbali's interest is toward wealth than moksha.

pOvadE nOyadAhi- (ITHEEHYAM - 171)

Here PILLAI TIRUNARAIYUR ARAIYAR's action is cited as example. When miscreants set fire to the temple, he along with his children embraced the Lord to protect him from fire and was ready to sacrifice their life.

Oh! People, who cannot differentiate and understand, there is none other than SRIMAN NARAYANA, who is the supreme God, listen to my advise. Leaving all the prime time, you cannot realise it at the last hour that this consort of Goddess is the ultimate Lord. As I said earlier there is no one greater than him. Hence I advise you to retire at the unparalleled feet of Lord KrishNa who came down and was born in the past to grace the cattle.(9)

👣kazhaliNai paNimin neerE- (ITHEEHYAM -172)

To explain, none other than only SRIMAN NARAYANA, can give equal position as his even to others, once you hold on to his feet, an ithihAsam is being referred.

"King yayAti", upon performing 100 "ashwamEdha yagnAs", was bestowed to reach Indra lOka, and be seated in par with him. Unable to tolerate someone in par with him, Lord Indra cunningly planned and started a conversation asking him, who in the world is so virtuous and done lots of puNyam. YayAti, wanting to be truthful replied saying, the people of the world referred to myself as virtuous of all.  Immediately Indra pushed him upside down back to the world saying, one who is boosting of oneself can not have the seat here.(Mahabharatam Adhi parva - 82nd chapter)

Replying to the query asked by PILLAI VIZHUPPARAIYAR AND  AAPPAN TIRUVAZHUNDHUR ARAIYAR, Bhattar explained that even be it the demigods they cannot tolerate anyone attaining their state. On the contrary, only EmperumAn can treat and give equal position to anyone. Hence he alone is the worthy Lord to be worshiped.

881.OTHER DEVATAS ARE ONLY SUBORDINATES

Possessing a great compassionate quality of not letting the jeevAs to emerge as nAstikAs, as a result of being misled by the  religions of non vaideeka doctrines and the lack of true knowledge about him,  Lord emperumAn himself administered many demigods for the pleasure of his devotees. He still has made it clear that, the results of all the demigods are short lived. For the sake of those willing to attain the eternal happiness (moksha), he has established the temple of Srirangam and abodes there. Lend me your ears, those who believe in shastra. When Lord EmperumAn who has Periya tiruvadi (garudazhvar ) as his vehicle  is willingly waiting to give you all the riches, through the goddess of wealth Mahalakshmi, why do you wait to go to the others ? (10)

882.ONE BLESSED IN THE WOMB CAN REALISE THE POWER OF LORD'S NAME.

For the enlivenment of the jeevAs of the world, using a single arrow, Lord EmperumAn our protector (nam SEvakanAr), brought down the ahankara of samudra rAjan, who failed to appear on his first call. He built a bridge across the rising ocean  which is a confluence of all three kinds of waters( river, Spring and rain).  He took everybody including the monkey army, won over the King of rAkshasAs and on his way back rested in this Tiruvarangam temple surrounded by seven rampart. Not celebrating the temple  and the Lord , Oh! People , not blessed even in the womb, why are you wasting your time? (11)

nam SEvakanAr - (ITHEEHYAM -173)

Nanjeer, while on his way back, deeply pondering over the explanation of nam SEvakanAr by Bhattar, happen to listen to an argument between an attendant and his wife. 

Wife: "what do you think you can do to me? To safe guard and protect weak and poor people like us, the King has taken charge as a protector". 

Immediately this struck Nanjeer about the oneness of both the statements, thinking how aptly THONDARADIPODI AzhvAr has stated nam SEvakanAr for EmperumAn being the protector.

Once when yaman and mudgalan happen to discuss about the divine name of the Lord, the entire region of the hell, which is the seat of melancholy transformed for a short while as if it was the blissful  region of heaven. While the sinners of hell can realise this transformation, my only concern is about the poor people of this world, who cannot realise that the abode of this noble Lord is Srirangam and utter His name, instead suffer under the consequences of the samsAric swirl. (12)

*The story of Mudgalan*:

The attendants of Yama (yamapadar) had to drag Mudgalan the notorious person, to the kingdom of Yama (yamaloka). The moment Yama saw mudgalan, he treated him with respect. Surprised by yama's act, mudgalan enquired the reason for his act. Yama on replying said that, "on one occasion when you donated a cow (gho dhan), you uttered, “in the name of KrishNa. As you uttered the name of the Lord, I have to treat you with respect". 

Hearing Yama utter the word Krishna in yamaloka, many ears heard it and at that moment, it is believed that the whole of hell turned to be heaven.

The learned people and the blessed jEvAs of this great world, that is an island with earthly smelling banks as a result of the surrounding wavy ocean, engage themselves in worshipping the  head of the nithyasoories, adorned with aromatic flowers and fragrant Tulasi garland. This being so, even if the innocent illiterate people, unaware of the ways and means of worshipping, utter just the word *aranga* , they are bound to get relieved of their sensorial miseries thereby making the hell a deserted place with hardly grass and plants.

SRIRANGAM, the rich and beautiful abode of the Lord of lords, our EmperumAn is encircled with bushes that are filled with the humming music of the swarm of bees, orchards enriched with gracefully dancing pride of peacocks, groves canopied with cool clouds, gardens that are the homes for the cooing cuckoos. Those who are oblivious of hailing this celebrated beautiful kshEtram, rather spend time in sitting and eating should be abandoned and in fact throw the food that they eat to the dogs that are at least faithful to its master.

Lord EmperumAn, owning the flag embossed with the King of birds Garuda, shows himself to those who are inclined to the Lord and believe in His presence, similar to how he showed himself even to me, AzhvAr includes himself to the chetanAs, as he wasted some time deviating from the Lord.  He stays hidden to those less fortunate and pseudo people. Once the realisation that he is the ultimate Lord is reached, EmperumAn, annihilates all the  adversaries arising out of suspicion for the sake of the people who wish to get enlightened. This wondrous Lord abodes in this Divya sthalam called Tiruvarangam. (15)

Talking about his own experience in this verse AzhvAr says, in the days of youth hood influenced by qualities of cheating, stealing and flirting with women, I was held captured under the clutches of the beautiful fish like eyes of a women and suffered unable to get out of it. Getting into my mind and showering his grace on me, he pulled me out, thereby entering  my heart and  increasing my love towards him. He is none other than this *"azhagiyamaNavALan"* who resides in Tiruvarangam. (16)

I stand helpless without possessing the extreme eagerness and the steadfastness to worship and praise the Lord . I am ignorant of performing any rituals. I hardly ruminate upon the Lord. My heart stays so rigid like the steel. Yet this Lord, who is so sweet as the sugarcane, residing in the big temple of *arangam*, surrounded by orchards engulfed with humming bees melts my steel like heart bit by bit, at the very moment of having his darshan and making my eyes glow in glee.

As the water droplets of the cool wavy, ocean like Cauvery , stay spread over our Lord EmperumAn, possessing lotus like eyes, he reclines in a solitary state, meditating and ruling over the entire universe. As I have a darshan and worship "Lord ranganAthan" having reddish coral lips similar to that of the ivy gourd fruit(Kovai fruit), tears gets welled up and starts dropping from my eyes, blurring my vision of EmperumAn. Oh! How unfortunate am I? (18)

kaNNanai kaNDa kaNgaL:  (ITHEEHYAM -175)

In referring to Lord ranganAthan as KaNNan, Bhattar's explains,

yashOdA pirATTi,not to make KaNNan feel bad, overlooked all his mischiefs and as a result he kept enjoying all the milk, curd and butter, which is evident on the moola moorti, appearing shining and plumpy. Whereas RAma was raised by Maharishi like 'Vasishtar' in a strict and disciplined manner, that can be seen in the utsava moorti, who is with a thin stature.

Oh! JeevAs of this world, my Lord ARANGAN, hued like the blue ocean, stays reclined on the bed of ADISESHAN, with his crown that denotes that he is the King of 'ubayavibhutis', on the west side (kudadisai) blessing the people and the direction. He Extends his leg towards the east for all the people to take asylum under his feet. Letting the people of the north direction to have a darshan of his back, he graces the people of Lanka (kingdom of vibeeshana)with his glance towards the south. Oh!, what do I do? The very sight (darshan) of him, makes me weak and fragile. (19)

kuNadiSai pAdam neeTTi -   (ITHEEHYAM -176)

Bhattar (explained) that whenever 'ALAVANDAR', comes to visit Srirangam,never does he worships nor wait at the west side where Lord ranganAtha has placed his head, stating that it is the "Duryodhana sthAnam"( as Duryodhana waited at his head side until he woke up). Whereas he will always move around or wait in the east side where EmperumAn has stretched his legs.

In this Divya sthalam Srirangam, encircled by Cauvery on all sides, Lord ranganAthan, reclines over AdisEshan, mounted on the sEsha peetam. This wondrous Lord possesses the divine chest that carries goddess MahAlakshmi. Is it possible for his ardent devotees to stay without having a darshan of this EmperumAn exhibiting, four godly shoulders on his emerald like physique, pristine pair of lotus petal like divine eyes, reddish coral like lips, in total emanating a divine aura embedded with his divine qualities ?(20)

Oh! My primordial mind, possessing the utmost power of thinking, still unable to achieve the entitled, just because of the sheer lack of steadfastness, I would like you to please give your opinion. 

Exhibiting extreme humbleness and a devout thought just as how the nithyasoories do in paramapadam, towards the coral lipped EmperumAn SriranganAtha, is it possible to just visualise the stately temple that is equivalent to mount 'MERU', interspersed with gold, where the sapphire gem 'SRIRANGANATHA ' reclines in the mind as accurately as seeing it in person? (21)
