AchArya Hrdhayam 127 - sUthram 220
Contd.
Second Ten
Contd.
Continuing on the second ten of thiru-voi-mozhi it was
noted that the Lord who is the cause of all the worlds and souls, blessed AzhwAr
with knowledge who desired for mOksham and nithya sUri ghOshti. AzhwAr became
crestfallen on not getting this. The Lord poured His affection on Him which
flowed down to generations of AzhwAr's sambhandhi-s. However, when the Lord
tried to grant salvation, AzhwAr rejected on the grounds that it should be for
His sake and not for the sake of AzhwAr and He always required His divine feet,
thus underlining the nature of both. Further, It was seen that those qualities
which go to establish the supremacy -parathvam-namely, sagala pala prathathva,
kAraNathva, shEsha sAyithva, sriyapathithva and saulabhyAdhigaL were seen in the
thiru-voi-mozhi-s "thiNNan" and "aNaivadhu aravaNai". Further,
Text: "kaLvA, thErthan enRu
vachana prathyakshangaLaik kAtti..."
Summary: Sri azhagia maNavALap perumAL
nAyanAr points out one "utterance" and one "vision" from shivA and arjunA which
go to establish His supremacy.
" ."kaLvA" is the word uttered by shivA
towards Lord krishNA.
thiru voi mozhip pAsuram 2-2-10 describes this
event:
"kaLvA! emmaiyum, Ezhulagum nin vullEa
thORRiya iRaiva! enRu veL
ERan,
nAnmugan, indhiran, vAnavar, puLLUrdhi
kazhal paNindhu
EthuvarE"
"You deceit! You are the person who has created me
and the whole world" with this word shiva worshipped Lord krishNA.
What is this episode?
shivA desired a boon from the Lord. He wanted the
Lord to take a boon from Him so that everybody will believe in his
superiority.Lord krishNa went and approached shivA and asked for a son for
rukminip pirAtti. Oh! Lord, YOu are the creator of us and the whole world and if
you ask for such a boon who will believe this. Deceit-kaLvA.
"thErthan"
'
'thErthan ulagalandha sEvadi mEal
pUndhAmam, sErthi avaiyE
sivan mudi meAl than kaNdu
pArthan thelindhozhindha painthuzhAyAn perumai
pErthum oruvarAl pEsak kidandhadhE"
thiru voi mozhi 2-8-6;
arjunA wanted to worship shivA for attaining
pAsupadhAsthram. For this purpose, Lord krishNA offered His divine feet on
which arjuna showered flowers which he later saw in the head of shivA. Then, he
realised the Lord's supremacy.
The words "thAn kaNdu'
is of essence here. It is not hearsay for arjunA. He himself had the
vision-first hand experience. Should such experience be subjected to further
analysis?
Edu vyAkyAnam reads as follows: "Apthar
sollak kEatkai anRikkEa, sruthi smrithigaLAl anRikkEa, thAnE kaNdAn
AyiRRu"
arjuna did not realise this fact by hearsay from
friends or comprehended the supremacy from sruthi or smrithi. He was a witness
to the vision for understanding the supremacy of the
Lord. (to be continued)
