kavimAsrayE II? In the previous posting we saw that in
thiruvallikeni, the divine abode of parthasarathi emperuman, Sri Madurakavi
Azhvar (MA) is found in a special posture with his right hand indicating to his
heart. Let us now try to analyze a
little bit and try to find the probable reasons for this divine
happening. We all know that MA is the only azhvar
who didn?t sing about any divya desa emperuman but instead choose to sing only
about his acharyan, Swamy Nammazhvar with great enthusiasm. Though his intent was to sing about his
acharyan to all our amazement MA?s ?Kanninun ciruthAmbhu? starts with the
following line: ?Kanninun ciruthAmbhinAl kattunna panniya perumAyan? This is a
reference to Krishna who did the leelai of udharabhandanam and made yesodha to
tie him with a rope with number of knots.
So confusion arises, towards whom did MA have actual bhakthi and about
whom he wanted to sing in his prabhandam?
There is no doubt that MA believed his acharya as god (?devu
mattrariyEn?) but he deliberately starts his prabhandam with the divine episode
of Krishna leela to make his acharya happy. Lakshmana didn?t have a special
attachment towards bharata (he even had a lot of hard feelings for the way
Seetha rama were sent to forest due to kaikEyi?s plot considering bharata to be
part of the plot) but still he talked about bharata while walking along with Sri
Rama on the banks of godavari because he knew very well that Rama cherished
talking about bharata and his greatness.
Similarly here MA starts talking about Krishna and specifically the
udharabhandana leela to make his master happy. Swamy Nammazhvar in his divine
prabhandam ?Thiruvaimozhi? started talking about the paratvam of emperuman. He sang the first padhigam, then he did
a small lecture to all those around in the second padhigam. When he wanted to sing the third he was
reminded about the sowlabhyam of emperuman so he started singing ?paththudai
adiyavarkku eliyavan?? and nammazhvar totally lost himself and reached a divine
state of comma for about six months.
Then slowly azhvar regained his equanimity and continued to sing
?paththudai adiyavarkku eliyavan pirargallukku ariya viththagan malarmagal
virumbum nam arumperal adigal maththuru kadaivennai kalavinil
uravidaiyAppundu eththirum! UralinOdu enainthirundhEngiya elivE? So the Krishna
with the mark of udharabhandanam is very close to nammazhvar?s heart and hence
that Krishna fills azhvar?s heart but MA?s heart is totally filled with
Azhvar. So when MA indicates to his
heart it is like asking all of us to have the darshan of Parthasarathi inside
nammazhvar?s heart inside MA?s heart.
How do you say that it is only parthasarathi emperuman inside azhvar?s
heart? Wait till the next posting to know about
the same. Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE
