empirAn endhai
 
 
The sixth pAsuram of periya thiru-mozhi:
"empirAn endhai enakku arasu ennudai vAnAL,
ambinAl arakkar verukkoLa nerukki avar vuyir segutha em
aNNal, vambulAm sOlai mA-madhiL thanjai mAmaNik
kOilEa vaNaNgi, nambikAL vuyya nAn kaNdu koNdEan
nArAyaNA ennum nAmam"
 
swAmi periya vAchAn piLLai:
 
Two important points are highlighted regarding this pAsuram
 
i. idhu thanakku (thirumandhrathukku) artham en enna aruLich seigiRAr.
 
thirumangai mannan commences thiru-mozhi -bang with thiru-mandhiram. Having commenced so, he explains the meaning of the thiru-mandhiram in this pAsuram.
 
What is the need for mentioning the meaning of thiru-mandhiram, when even the recital of text will yield the desired results?
 
...arthAnusanthAnathAlEa pEARu enRu thamakku pakshamAgaiyAlEa arthathaich sollugiRAr.
 
Comprehending the meaning will yield the desired effect is the school of thought of sri kaliyan. Hence, he blesses us with the meaning of thiru-mandhiram in this pAsuram.
 
ii. Is there a precedence for this? of course, sri nam-AzhwAr, if he mentions thiru-mandhiram will bless the meaning after that or before that.
 
nam-AzhwArum thiru-mandhiram OridathilEa prashtuthamAnAl-munEyAdhal, pinnEayAdhal arthathai sollip pOruvar.
