Dear BhakthAs of Swamy NammAzhwAr
:
Second CheyyuL of SaThakOpar
AndhAti
***************************************************
In this verse , Kambar points out that
ThiruvAimozhi takes on the form of a JyOthi( Sudar) befitting the Param
JyOthi
Tattvam of the Lord .
Just as the five senses serve as the instruments
to cognize the world , Vedam is the " tool " ( karuvi) for comprehending
Brahmam. This is the conclusion of the Vaidhika Matams . Therefore , Kambar
infers that ThiruvAimozhi is that Sudar since all the Paasurams of ThiruvAimozhi are rooted in the acceptance
of NarAyaNa
Parathvam .

Genaral Meaning:
Kambar points out the superiority of
the new Sudar ( JyOthi) , ThiruvAimozhi , over the two old Sudars , the Sun and
the Moon .
Altogether there are three Sudars to
compare and establish the superiority of the Third Sudar, ThiruvAimozhi
.
1. The Sun and the Moon are up and
away from the Prakruti MaNDalam , where as
ThiruvAimozhi is here for us for
easy access .
2. Sooryan has the dhosham of shadow
and the Moon has inside it the blemish (kaLangam) . These dhoshams or any other
are not met with in ThiruvAimozhi .
3. The Sun and the Moon remove the
darkness that is vanishing on its own.
ThiruvAimozhi removes the ajn~Anam
or darkness enveloping the mind , which will not disappear on its own
.
4. The darkness chased away by the
Sun and the Moon will return next night. The third Sudar will banish the
internal darkness once and for all .
5. The two old Sudars remove
external darkness , where as the new Sudar chases away the internal darkness.
6. The Sun makes the Lotus
flower blossom , where as the Moon makes the same Lotus close its petals . They
both have opposite effects on the same Lotus flower . The Third Sudar
yields the same Phalan however for both the good people and the not-so-good
people. Its impact is same on both kinds of people ( Dhaiveeka and asura
svabhAvams) .
7. The Sun drives away the darkness
during the day and
the Moon chases away the darkness at night . The third Sudar removes inner
darkness both during the day and the night .
Thus ,the new , Third Sudar is
superior to the old two Sudars.
