Namaha Swamy manavala mAmunikal celebrates
thirumangan mannan as ?mAran paniththa thamizh maraikku mangaiyarkOn Arangam
koora avadhariththa? (upadesaratina mAlai-9). Let us now enjoy how kaliyan has
followed the footsteps of nammazhvar.
You may all question, ?Why is this sudden diversion when all along this
series there was only a comparison of words of geethacharyan and kaliyan??
Actually this is no diversion from the actual topic. GeethAcharyan in his 10th
chapter ?Vibhoothi yOgam? as per the request of arjuna talks in detail about his
vibhoothi (greatness-svamAhAtmyam) but before beginning, Krishna warned arjuna
that it is not possible for even the lord himself to tell his greatnesses in
full as there is no limit to the same.
Following the footsteps of geethAcharyan nammazhvar wonders, ?What shall
I say about that supreme lord!? in the third centum 4th decade of
thiruvAimozhi. This is a padhigam
that has to be surely enjoyed and hence adiyen is adding this at this
point. ?pugazhum nal oruvanenkO? poruvil seer
bhoomi enkO? tigazhum thaN paravai enkO? teeyenkO?
vAyuenkO? nigazhum AkAsamenkO? neelsudar erandum

(3-4-1) Nammazhvar - pugazhum nal oruvanenkO?

thaN paravai enkO? teeyenkO? vAyuenkO? nigazhum
AkAsamenkO? Kaliyan summarizes the same as ?

maNiyuruvil Nammazhvar - AdhiyansOdhi
enkO? Kaliyan ? thigazhum
sOdhi? Nammazhvar ? AdhumilkAlathth
endhai Kaliyan ? ennuruvil nindra
endhai What a great reflection of words and
ideas and that is why thondaradipodi azhvar declares that all of them belong to
one clan ?pEsittrE pEsalallAl?. If
they repeat the same won?t ?punarukthi dOsham or the mistake of copying others
words? arise? No. This is no error
when it comes to talking the greatness of emperuman as it is the truth, fact and
has to be repeated. How many ever
bhakthas may come even in the future no one can change these at any time. We
have no other go than to repeat what our poorvacharyas have given, the great
treasure we possess. Nammazhvar
followed geethacharyan (sastras), kaliyan followed nammazhvar, our acharyas
followed the words of kaliyan (all the azhvars), and we have to follow our
acharyas. The same chain follows
while attaining the result too. We
follow our acharyas, they follow their acharya who followed the azhvars ?
nammazhvar- vishvaksenar-periya pirattiyar-periya perumal and we all will
finally land in the great land of nithyAnubhavam, the nithya soori mandalam,
paramapadam. We will enjoy more of kaliyan?s words
along the footsteps of geethacharyan in the forth-coming
postings. (To be
continued) Azhvar EmperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE

Note: Today is the great day on which "vedupari" is celebrated in our dear kaliyan's avadhara stalam, thiruvali-thirunagari. Blessed are those bhagavatas who have the bhakyam to be in that place to enjoy kaliyan threatening vayalAli manavalan to get the alpa Ishwaryam and finally being blessed with the greatest wealth of thirumanthram. Here is Swamy manavala mAmunikal's mangalasasanam to our dear thirumangai mannan,
"vurai kazhiththa vAlai oththa vizhi madandhai mAdarmEl vurugavaiththa manamozhiththu evvulagalandha nambimEl kuraiyai vaiththu madaleduththa kurayalAli thirumaNam kollaithannil vazhipariththa kuttramattra senkaiyAn maraiyuraiththa mandiraththai mAluraikka avanmunE madiyodikki manamadakki vAipudaiththu onnalAr karaikuliththa vElaNaiththu nindra endha nilaimai en kaNNai vittu agandridAdhu kaliyanAnai ANaiyE"
Thirumangai azhvar did 'vazhipari kollai' but mAmunikal says he is "kuttramattra senkaiyAn" (flawless) Why? Because he did 'vazhi pari' for the sake of bhagavata dhadheeyArAdhanam. So swamy feels for bhagavat/bhAgavata kainkaryam even threatening and getting from those who have wealth is not a mistake. Ofcourse only two people had the courage to take others money for kainkaryam one is thirumangai azhvar and other badrachala ramadas, a great bhaktha of rama who rebuilt the temple of badrachalam with the tax money that had to originally go to the muslim king.
