PERIYA TIRUMOZHI - 1.7

PASURAMS 1008 TO 1017
angkaN njAlam (singkavEL kunRam)

AHOBILAM

⛰In NaimishAraNyam, where azhvAr kept lamenting about his vices and it’s consequences, he felt miserable and saddened. In order to elevate the azhVAr from his plight, emperumAn advised azhvAr not to worry and directed him to visit SINGKAVEL KUNRAM where He is present taking an unique form of Nrisimha to protect His bakthan Prahlad and the mankind thereafter.

⛰These 10 pAsurams lie between NaimishAraNyam and TiruvEnkatam.
Nava Nrisimha ksEtram.

1008.
At the very same place where the cruel HiraNyan challenged the absence of lord Vishnu, He appeared taking a unique form of Nrisimha making the whole world tremble with fear and split open his body into two using His sharp nails. In this holy place singkavEL kunRam, the fiery lions with its red eyes, bow down and pray offering the tusks of the elephants at the feet of the Lord. (1)

1009.
With a Waggling tongue, bright teeth and exhibiting great valour, Lord Nrisimha, who resides in ‘singkavEL kunRam’, split open the chest of HiraNyan who has an  ever harrowing nature, using His nails. This is a place where you can see hunters (silaik kai vEdar)(the native chenchus) with their arrows, the sound of the small drum and the yelling of those who plunder the wayfarers. (2)
#Senchu Lakshmi was born as the daughter of the king of hunters and She married the Lord here. Therefore, they consider Lord Narasimhan, who married Chenchu Lakshmi as their kulam's son-in-law (MaappiLLai Swamy).

KANNINUN SIRUTAMBU

KANNINUN SIRUTAMBU PASURAMS 937 - 947 Madhurakavi azhvAr in these 11 verses talks in detail about his reverence to his AchArya. It is generally said that, one should not pronounce the mantram taught openly to others, but talk and propagate the glory of the guru or AchArya who taught us the mantrAs. Madhurakavi AzhvAr having found his guru in Nammazhwar propounded about his greatness and the pleasure attained thereafter. 937.kaNNi nuN chiRuththAmbinAl  kattuNNap

PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI - 9*

*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. Oh! My dear son rAma! Getting to know the excitement of the entire subjects of Ayodhya and the chieftains, who respect you, greet you and honour you by falling at your feet, on making you the next heir to the throne, I got overwhelmed in making all the arrangements for crowning you. Later listening to the words of kaikeyi, I had to dethrone you and send yo...

AMALANADIPIRAN

-
*AMALANADIPIRAN*by  *TIRUPPANAZHVAR* This Divya Prabandam called AMALANADIPIRAN, finds its place after ‘Tiruppalliyezhuchi’ as the 8th Prabandam in the first set of thousand songs referred as’MudalAyiram’.  Although this is a short and crisp Prabandam with only 10 verses, the philosophy and the theory embedded is ten folds bigger. Engrossed in the beauty or the soundaryam of Periya perumAL, this AzhvAr also referred as pAN perumAl or munivAhana, potrays the lord from tiruvadi to tirumudi (foot to head).  Yoga sAstra, is said to have 8 limbs. Actually there are 7 and the 8th one being the angAngi. The same can be observed here in this Prabandam too. AzhvAr describes individually emperumAn’s kamalapAdam, undhi(bellybutton), udharabandham(girdle), tiruvAramArbu(chest), kandam(neck), chevvAi(mouth), kaNgal(eyes) and as the angAngi neela mEni(his whole body). Let us also delve in this Prabandam and enjoy lord RANGANATHA and be bestowed with his blessings. Tiru-pAN-AzhvAr, an e...

PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI 10

PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI 10 PASURAMS 741 TO 751   angkan nedDumadil   *RAMAYANA SANGRAHAM* kulasEkara perumAl moves from Vibhava form ( the incarnation state) to archa form (the idol state). Reminded of GOVINDARAJA PERUMAL of TILLAI NAGARAM, he sees him as rAma of chitrakooTam and wishes to sing about rAma. Hence this kshEtram is known as *TIRUCHITTIRAKOODAM* also referred as “punDareekapuram”. He sings the essence of entire rAmAyaNa in this decade. As this Azhwar is so much engrossed with rAma and this entire Tirumozhi is about rAmAyaNa, it is called RAMAYANA SANGRAHAM.   741 SHRI RAMA JANANAM (BALA KANDAM) 741 * angkaNedu madhiL pudai sUzh ayOdhdhi ennum * aNi nagaraththu ulaganaiththum viLakkum sOdhi * vengkadhirOn kulaththukkOr viLakkAyth thOnRi * viN muzhudhum uyak koNda vIran thannai ** sengkaNedung karumugilai irAman thannaith * thillainagarth thiruchchithrakUdam thannuL * engkaL thani mudhalvanai emperumAn thannai * enRu kolO! kaN kuLirak kANum nALE (2) (1) In the world’...
