SrI:
 
Dear Sri Nrusimha BhakthAs :
 
Let us continue our enjoyment of the NINTH Paasuram of Kaliyan on
AhobilaKshEthra Naathan , Sri Lakshmi Narsimhan . Kaliyan gave us
a ring side seat to enjoy the happenings after HiraNya SamhAram :
 
The fear of the DevAs , BrahmA's astute act  to request Bhaktha SirOnmani , 
PrahlAdhan to approach the Lord first to nullify the residual anger of
the Lord and transform Him from the state of Ugra Narasimhan in to
the most compassionate DayALu and Soumya Moorthy , 
PrahlAdha Varadhan .
 
This signature Paasuram of Thirumangai Mannan is
a nithyAnusandhAna Paasuram at Sri Matam . On hearing
this Paasuram from the ThiruvAkku of Srimath Azhagiya Singar ,
" nammudaya NamperumAL , alli Maathar pulha ninRa aayiram
thOLan  " moves a little forward on His svarNa dOlai and blesses
His PadhukA Sevakar , SrivaNN SaThakOpa Sri NaarAyaNa
Yathindhra MahA Desikan . Empowered by that Kusala Pracchnam ,
our NadamAdum Narasimhar places the SaThAri on the heads of
AdhyApAka GhOshti . Here is the  Paasuram dear to Sri Nrusimha
BhakthAs since the time of RasOkthi Saarvabhoumar , Kaliyan's time :  
 
nallai nenjE naamm thozhuthum nammudaya namperumAL
    alli mAthar pulha ninRa aayiram thOLan-idam
nelli malhik-kalludaippap-pul ilai aarntu atharvaay 
    silli sill yenRu oll aRAtha SingavEL KunramE 
 
The First Two lines of the Ninth Paasuram : Introduction
*************************************************************************
Azhwars in general and Thirumangai in particular are fond of Maanasa
SambhOdhanams ( Conversatons with their  minds ) . Some times , they
will give instructions to it  and other times the topic of conversation will be
different  as seen from the examples below :
 
" Sengkayal tiLaikkum Sunait-ThiruvEngadam adai nenjamE ". Kaliyan : PTM 1.8.1
 
" Pilimaamayil nadam cheyyum taDam sunai Pirithi adai nEnjE " . Kaliyan: PTM 1.2.1 
 
 " Salavan salam sooznthazhahAya SaaLakkirAmam adai nenjE " Kaiyan: PTM 1.5.3
 
Some times , the AzhwAr will tell his mind about what he saw that day :
 
" TeLLiya SingamAhiya dEvai ThiruvallikkENi kaNDEnE " Klaiya: PTM 2.3.8
 
Some times , AzhwAr will reveal to us what is inside his nenju :
 
" minnAr muhil sEr ThiruvEgaDam mEya
   yenn aanai , yennappan yen nenjil uLAnE " PTM : Kaliyan 1.10.6
 
Some times , AzhwAr's message to his nenjam will be congratulatory :
 
vaNDu vaazh Vada Venkatamalai kOil koNDu athanODum , meemisai
aNDam aaNDiruppARkku adimai thozhil PooNDAy ---Kaliyan : PTM 2.1.3
 
Here Kaliyan says ! AhO BhAgyam !AhO BhAgyam ! Oh My mind ! How
fortunate indeed that You have been to be blessed to perform Kaimkaryam
for the Lord , who has not only ThiruvEnkatam but also the SarvOnnatha
dhivya dEsam of Sri Vaikuntam as His place of residence !
 
Some times , the message to his discouraged mind will be to console it
and to lift it out of its melancholic mood :
 
thuNivu unakkuc-cholluvEn MANAME ! thozhthu yezhu , thoNDarkaL tamakku
piNi ozhitthu amarar peruvisumpu aruLum pEraruLALan EmperumAn
aNi malar kuzhalAr Arambayar tuhilum aaramum vaari vanthu aNi neer
maNi kozhitthu izhintha Gangayin karai mEl Vadariaasramatthu uLLAnE
 
--- Klaiyan : PTM 1.4.4
 
Here , AzhwAr  asks his mind to become resolute . He asks his mind to
worship the Lord on the banks of Ganga river at BadrikAsramam  and
to overcome its  despondency . AzhwAr says that it is  a firm and unassailable
message from him . AzhwAr asks his mind to join with the ghOshti of
BhagavathAs who are worshipping the Lord at BadrikAsramam with
MahA VisvAsam that He will remove all of our aarTi (sufferings) and
grant us the boon of residence in His Supreme abode .
 
Thus , AzhwAr's communications with his mind will be multi-faceted .
 
Conversation with his mind at AhObilam
***************************************************
In the ninth Paasuram on Ahobila NaaTan , the message of Kaliyan to
his nenjam is a congratulatory one.
 
Azhwar addresses his nenjam in  a mood of gratefulnes  : "nallai nenjE ! ".
 
He has asked his mind before to enjoy the ArchA Moorthys of many
Dhivya Desams ( SaaLagrAmam , Pirithi , ThriuvEkadam et al ) . At Ahobilam ,
Kaliyan finds that he does not need to give any pep talk to his mind or
invite its attention to enjoy the dhivya dEsam of Ahobilam . His mind
was ahead of the AzhwAr and had fallen in love with the Lord of
this dhivya dEsam . AzhwAr is very pleased and seems to say , "sabhAsh ".
He starts this paasuram with " nallai nenjE ! " . Oh my mind ! You have
become possessed now with all auspicious attributes ( NaRguNam udayavanAi
uLLAy ) . AzhwAr praises his nenjam for its predisposition of being deeply
engaged in the worship of the Lord of AhObilam .
 
AzhwAr goes on to pin point the special reasons why he is hailing his mind
by addressing it as "nallai nenjE ! ".
 
Oh my trustworthy and pious mind ! You have clearly comprehended that
Ahobila KshEthram is the dhivya desam very dear to our Lord ( Nammudai
NamperumAl uhantha idam) . Oh my mind ! You not only recognized Him
as  "namm PerumAL " ( Our Sarva Swamy , NaarAyaNan , the Para DEvathai )
but you went one step ahead by  recognizing  Him especailly as Sriman
NaarAyaNan , who stays here embracing Mahaa Lakshmi ( alli Maathar ,
the Lotus born lady ) with His left hand (savyEna hasthEna chenchu  suthAm
RamAm parishvajantham , LakshmI Nrusimham SaraNam prapadhyE ).
Oh My mind ! You recognized the Lord of this dhivya dEsam not just as
Narasimhan but as Lakshmi Narsimhan  .. It is well known that 
He is not easily accessible to those , who do not comprehend 
the equal place that His divine consort holds in granting MOksha Phalan
besides being PurushakAra BhUthai . It is because of Her , His glories are
hailed with the Naamams of "Sriya: Pathi , IndhirA Kaanthan , MaalOlan ,
and Ramaa Nruhari . Therefore , My mind , it is for these reasons that
I address you as "nallai nenjE ! ".
 
(To be continued )
