Dear SrEvaishNavites,

 

Sri Kaliyan's devotion towards bhAgavAthAs emanates as the kaN sOra venkurudhi-thirumozhi. That he places them above his head is understood. That he keeps them always to his heart  is observed. However, when it comes to nithya sUri-s they should be matchless, is it not? No says kaliyan. Being there in the sAthvic world without any kArmic effects and distractions is not greater than those who worship the Almighty amidst all the turbulences.  In fact it is the other way round.

This aspect is dealth with hereunder.

?vinnavaril poligindrArE?

 

Bhagavatas though close to emperuman and hence adorned by kaliyan on his head and heart still are part of this world.  Won?t they also face a lot of hurdles while in this samsAram?  So surely the nithyasooris who are always in the service of the lord, without any obstacles are more eminent.  Is it not?

 

Kaliyan answers,?pOdhodu punal toovum puNNiyarE viNNavaril poligindrArE?  [Those who are blessed to submit freshly blossomed flowers and water to the divine feet of the lord are greater than those of the nithya mandalam] But don?t the nithya sooris also submit flowers to the lord?s divine feet.  The vyakhyana kartha answers,

 

?angEyirundhu AshrayikkiravaRgal, engE erundhu Ashrayikkiravargalodu ovvArirE? [Those who surrender from there cannot be equated to those who surrender from here]

 

In the same paasuram, kaliyan talks about the greatness of chakravarthi thirumagan, ?kAdhodhu kodimookandrudan aRuththa kaithalaththA? Did Rama piran chop of surpanaka?s ear and nose? Wasn?t that the act of lakshmana?  Kaliyan knows very well that only lakshmana did it but here he says so having in mind that lakshmana is none other than rama?s right hand ?rAmasya dakshinO bhAhu:? Though my hand types this posting still it is told that only adiyen typed it.  Similarly the act of one of the part of our body is considered to be the act of our self.  The same is followed by kaliyan while saying that ramapiran punished surpanaka.
