GRAND RECEPTION FOR ARRIVAL DEVOTEE OF
THE LORD
AT THE ALTARS OF
PARAMA-PADHAM
When priest
who conduct the marriages forget some "manthram-s" what do they do? They request
for 'getti mELam'.
This whole episode in narrated in
thiru-voi-mozhi 10-9 "sUzh visumbu aNi mugil".
Likewise, Lord
who did not want to make big of His non-response, immediately brought in front
of AzhwAr the vision of big band and paraphernalia, divine sounds from various
instruments inviting him to enter the great parama-padham.
The waves from
the ocean jumped in joy. The bugles raised their typical sounds. The
devotees there offered their seats -emadhidag pugudhum - and place. The divine
women spoke good of the souls -madandhar vAzhthal.
"sUzh visumbu-aNi mugil, thUriyam muzhakkina, Azh kadal alai
thirai, kai eduthu Adina,
yEAzh pozhilum,
vaLam yEandhia ennappan, vAzh pugazh nArANan
thamaraik
kaNdugandhEa"
10-9-1;
The royal and
divine instruments were doing their duty. vAdhya ghOshangaL, mangaLa
bhErigaigaL. Songs were sung in celebratin of the occasion. The divine din
from the 'valam-puri sanku' originated. The divine souls there, appreciated by
reciting 'sthothram-s'. The reception was grand-gala and the arrival of AzhwAr
was a great event.
"gEthangaL
pAdinar kinnarar garudargaL, kALangaL valam-puri kalandhu engum isaithanar,
vALoN kaN madandhaiyar vAzhthinar" 10-9-5;
The divine
escorts-AdhivAhagargaL, the path of archirAdhi, the affectionate reception into
the parama-padham by the souls there, the enjoyable structures there and finally
attaining the lotus feet of sriman nArAyaNa were all the priceless and unequal
visions which were bequeathed by the Lord on AzhwAr.
The highlight of the celbration was for
the arrival of the devotee of sriman nArAyaNA.
