SrI:
   
Dear BhakthAs of  Lord  DevanAthan :

Let us have additional reflections on the first three 
Paasurams that we covered in the last posting . 
Insights of Vaikunta Vaasi Chetlur NarasimhAchAry 
Swamy are included here.

Paasuram 1: (AruL tarum adiyAr...)
***********************************
This paasuram starts with the AmruthAsharam of
( A) as in the case of the Prabhandham of AmalanAdhipirAn
of ThiruppANa AazhwAr. AkAram , the first letter of 
the alphabet , "A" is the most auspicious because of its
connection to VishNu ( AkArO VishNu Vaachaka: ,
"A"  ithi BhagavathO NaarAyaNasya praTamAbhidhAnam 
abhidhadhathA  kim nAma mangaLam na krutham ? ).
All mangaLams arise from the links to AkAram . This
amruthAkshara prayOgam through the choice of 
the word , "AruL" at the beginning of  MummaNikkOvai 
Prabhandham (aruL tarum adiyavar paal meyyai 
vaitthu theruL tara ninRa DhaivanAyaka! ) makes this 
SrI Sookthi very auspicious. 

The Lord is at Thiruvaheendhrapurm to bless His dear 
devotees with dhivya Jn~Anam and He becomes
" Adiyavarkku Meyyan/Natha Sathyan "  this way . 
As Sathya PraTij~nan , He blesses the devotees with 
knowledge about His svaroopa , Roopa , GuNa vaibhavams . 
He is "Meyyan/Sathyan for all those who worship Him 
longingly and is " Poyyan/Asathyan " for those 
who have no sincerity in seeking His refuge .

Swamy  Desikan wishes to perform SaraNAgathi at
the sacred feet of the Lord and as a first step in this
anushtAnam performs PurushakAra Prapatthi at the 
divine feet of HemAbjavalli ThAyAr in the first paasuram . 

Second Paasuram (  ThirumAl adiyavarkku meyyanAr ---):
************************************************************
The thought that the Lord is "Sathyan " to those , who
performed PurushakAra Prapatthi to His Devi is introduced
here. All the six activities of HemAbhjavalli in the line of 
Her PurushakAram are reminded here ( SruNOthi/she listens , 
SrAvayathi/ Makes Her Lord listen to the cries of SamsAri , 
SruNAthi/She prepars the samsAri and purifies him for 
acceptance by the Lord , SreeyathE/She approaches 
Her Lord with Her recommendation , SreeNAthi/She gladdens 
the heart of Her Lord through Her VaseekaraNa sakthi nad
display of Her dhivya Soundharyam in that context 
and srayathE/she joins with Her Lord to accept the Prapatthi after
completing Her PurushakAra activities) . Such a powerful
and influential Mother with Vaalabhyam ( power to hold
the Lord under Her sway ) stays at he chest region of 
Her Lord along with Srivathsam and Kousthubha gem.
Swamy  Desikan prays for a place in that sacred chest region 
of the Lord for his SrI Sookthi of MummaNikkOvai through
the appeal housed in this Paasuram .

Third Paasuram ( MozhivAr Mozhivana -- -- ):
*********************************************
This verse has been identified with the Bhakthi
anubhavam of Swamy  Desikan , when through 
His mind assumed the role of a Naayaki (Vankata
Naayaki) to experience the dhivya soundharyam 
of Her Lord DhaivanAyakan . The sixth paasuram of
MummaNikkOvai (Aarkkum KaruNai-- -- ) has been
identified with Para Bhakthi and the 9th Paasuram 
( VeRppudan onRi-- --) with Parama Bhakthi of 
an aasrithan . This is in line with the PramANam ,
" Bhakthi: srungAra VruthyA pariNamathi "
( Bhakthi grows and envelops one through 
the experience of love ). 

Another point of view relates the first three pAsurams
of MummaNikkOvai this way : The first Paasuram is
about PurushakAram ; the second paasuram is about
Para Jn~Anam and the thirs paasuram deals with
the blossoming of Parama Bhakthi. 

Next , we will study the fourth Paasuram , where
Swamy  Desikan enjoys the Svaroopa , Roopa ,
GuNa adhisayams of the Lord of Thiru Ayindhai
in great detail (SavisthAram).
