TIRUVIRUTTAM
And
THE AUSPICIOUS QUALITIES OF THE LORD (2)
---
6. He uses the AzhvArs and AchAryas as the Cupid to
attract as many devotees as possible. The AzhvArs and
AchAryas, being very close to the Lord, by their
spiritual knowledge and conduct attract many
desciples, who, in turn become the Lord's devotees.
"paRavaiyin pAgan matana cengOl nadAviya kooRRam
kaNdeer"
(The Lord, who is the driver of the bird, Garuda, uses
Cupid's arrows from which none can escape"
7. They (AzhvArs and AchAryas) are alike the Lord
Himself.
"tirumAl kOlam cumantu"
(Having the figure of SrIman nArAyaNa)
8. The actions and the speeches of the BhAgavtas are
just experimental for the services in SrI VaikuNtam.
"kANkinRakaLum kEtkinRakaLum kANil innAL
pANkunRanAdar payilkinRana, itellAm aRintOm innAL
mANkunRmEnti taNmAlai vEngadattu umbarnambum
cENkunRam cenRu poruLpadaippAn kaRRa tiNNanavE"
(Whatever we see and listen here now from the devotees
are only the rehearsals for their roles in SrI
VaikuNtam)
9. Our association with them is similar to the one in
Sri VaikuNtam.
"tiN pooncudar nuti nEmiyajn celvar viNNAdanaiya
vaNpoo mNivalli yArE piripavartAm?"
(Who can leave this beautiful, flowering creeper-girl,
comparable to Sri VaikuNtam of the Lord with the
bright, powerful and sharp wheel in His hand and with
full of wealth?)
10. The Lord, along with them, has taken the Titumala
as His resort.
"mAyOn vadatiruvEnkada nAda"
(Such a wonderful Lord is residing very much in the
North TiruvEngatam)
