Paasuram-63

 

"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).
