Pasuram-22-angaNma jnAlatthu

 

AngaNmAjnAlatthu arasar abhimAna

bhangamAi vandhu nin paLLikkattirkeezE

sangamirupparpOla vandhu thalai ppeydhO

kinkiNi vai keenda thAmaraippooppOla

sengaN sirucchiridhe emmEl viziyavo

thingalum Adhithiyaunum ezundhArpOl

angaN irandum kondu engaL mel nOkkudhiyEl

engaLmEl shApam izindhElOrempavai

 

O Lord, We have resorted to you like the rulers of the world,  shedding their ego, gather around  you seeking your favour. Will your eyes like lotuses open towards us slowly like half open ankle bells.If you look at us with your eyes as if the sun and the moon have risen, all our sins will be destroyed.

angaNmAjnAlam- This beautiful world. It is the maya of the Lord which creates abhimana or attachment to the wordly objects which appear beautful and desirable to the mind covered with ignorance.To get rid of the abimana is abhimanabhanga, when one gets the knowledge that all this belong to the Lord and we are  here to do His work.

 

arasar ----sangam iruppAr-this refers to the kings who were imprisoned by Jarasandha and were released by Krishna. They said that they wanted to  leave their kingdoms and be with Krishna in His service.(Bhagavatham.10-73-10to15)

 

kinkiNi----thAmaraippoo-The lotus flower half opened resembles the ankle bells . the reason for this is that the sun and the moon rise simultaneously.The two eyes of the Lord are compared to sun and the moon, thingalum Adhitthiyanum ezundhArpOl, implying that they should grace the devotees with the cool glance like the moon and should burn their ignorance like the sun dispels the darkness.They are half closed  in order not to see the faults of those who surrender to Him and half open to grant protection.

 

sengaN----viziyavO-They want the first glance to fall on them when He wakes up. When the eyes open up slowly the glance falls on the object in front. Vedntadesika says in his yadhavabhyudhaya that the reason Lakshmi and Bhoodevi are sitting at the feet of the Lord is that they want His first glance to fall on them The purpose of this is to plead the cause of the devotees.

 

engaL mElshApam izindhelOrempAvAi- PApa or sin can be removed by acts of expiation but shApa, curse has to be endured. But the glance and the grace of the Lord can destroy even that.

 

'After many lives due to some merit done in some early life we have been blessed with the thought of approaching you and have come to serve you and you have to look at us with mercy and save us.' This is the purport of the pasuram.

 

There are two words employed to denote the eyes of the Lord. SengaN and angaN, to denote the external and internal sight.

 

It is said that by learning and reciting this pasuram one can remove all obstacles that stand between him and his desired object.
