"tariththirundhE nAgavE tArAganap pOr
viriththuraiththa vennAgaththunnai-teriththezhudhi
vAsiththum kEttum vaNangi vazhipattum
poosiththum pOkkinEn pOdhu"
In the previous paasuram azhvar worried about others who don't even know to
surrender to the divine feet of the almighty. But now his mood changes and he
rejoices thinking about his fortune. "ArAnumAdhAnum seyya agalidaththai
ArAindhu adhu thiruththalAvadhE" (periya thiru 25) says nammazhvar.
(tArAganap pOr viriththuraiththa vennAgaththunnai) You are the
thiruvanandhAzhvan (divine serpant on which emperuman lies) who detailed the
intricate aspects of the motion of stars through the elaborate jhotisha sastra;
Emperuman being the antaryami is called as thiruvanandhAzhvan himself here;
(tariththu) knowing; understanding; iterating (anushandhAnam);
(teriththu) Thought in the mind is the first step; first think
(ezhudhi) then write the same in words;
(vAsiththu) read those divine meanings written by self and others and make
others also do the same;
(kEttum) listen to all the divine works done by the Mudal azhvars and other
mahans and make others do the same;
(vaNangi) Anyone can be a scholar but the naichyam (considering himself to be
lowly inspite of all the great talents inside) and getting rid of ahankara and
mamakara is very difficult; Now azhvar talks about sheding the ill feelings of
ego and pride and prostrating the divine feet of emperuman with the feeling of
servitude ("adhuvum avanadhu ennarulE")
(vazhipattum poosiththum) Doing poojas to the lord with all the 3 karanas;
mano-mind, vak-speech, kAyam-physique;
(pOkkinEn pOdhu) Nothing is left to be done; even those nearby have changed to
the required level. Whatever is done is for the very purpose of spending time
while in this world.
(AgavE tariththirundhEn) thus I sustain myself in this difficult world of
samsara and attain my well-being (saththai perugirEn).
