SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Since the beginning, AzhwAr has been considering Lord RanganAthan and hence now addresses Him (Rangan). The last two paasurams (119 and 120) are AzhwAr?s joyous thanks to Sri RanganAthan for His anugraham of Moksham. ponnisoozha rankamEya poovaivaNNa! maaya!kEL, ennathaavi yennumvalvi NnaiyinuLko zhunthezhunthu, unnapaatha mennin^inRa voNsudarkko zhumalar, mannavanthu pooNduvaatta minRuyenkum ninRathE. (119) Oh most wonderful and Mysterious Lord! - Ascharya bhUthanE! The blue hued flower coloured most Beautiful Lord! The One who resides in Srirangam surrounded by the river Cauveri! Please listen to this with Your divine ear! [and what is that.. it is] his [aazhwaar's] aathma svaroopam admixed with dEham and Indhriyams and stuck in the mud of Paapams and PuNyams before has arisen now as a sparkling flame (Jyothi) over those limiting bonds and has attained the sacred feet of the Lord of Srirangam (Ponni Soozh ArangamEya Poovai VaNNan), rooted itself there forever without any Jn~Ana SankOsam [contraction of dharmabhUtha jnAnam]- firmly established in its own nature of being His eternal Seshan (servant- dAsan). If the seed is sowed, it sprouts into the tender leaves and then the bigger plant, tree grow. Kozhundhu (tender leaves- thaLir in Tamil); kozhundhu- may also mean the flakes of fire- the fire tongues ¡Vdheepa jwAla tends to grow and becomes huge- Thus indicating that the jnAnam glows and grows. The power of sprouting into leaves, the flowers etc., was all there already within the seed, but were hidden, covered, formless, contracted and after the seed is sown, they start to come out and be visible. Similarly, my soul (AthmA), yayaa kshEthrag~na Shakthi: saa vEshtithaa: Thus- due to karmic diseases, covered by limitless sins that have been committed over various births for ages, blinded by cruel vaasanaas, the eternal nature of Jeevan has been lost; the jeevathma swaroopam has been deprived of the Absolute Bliss of divine Communion with the Lord and greatest Anandham (enjoyment) of the Lord (ParipoorNa brahmAnubhavam), on account of his (jeevaathman?s) indulgence in ungodly ideals and is deeply immersed in ocean of sorrow and suffering. Now, [due to his grace- due to some intentional or unintentional good deed performed somewhere down the line by the jeevan] being blessed with the kataaksham of benevolent, most compassionate sadAchArya, the AthmA (dharma bhUtha jnAnam] has started glowing; growing. Not stopping with that growth, the flower has bloomed [flower being Saranagati at His Lotus feet] and given rise to fruits (of moksham being granted by Him]. Thus the plant has grown fully; Ananya bhakti is mentioned here in this verse. AthmA (Jeevan) would then enjoy realization of eternal association and thus reaps the enjoyment of Union with Him. One can also refer to other interpretation of this here: The paapam?s repository if the soul (Jeevathma) and from that (seed), sprouts the tender leaves (thaLir) i.e. the focus, the desire, love, bhakti, devotion for the Lotus Feet of the Lord. Holding onto that Feet, it continues to enjoy (grow) on the beautiful limbs, the wonderful Divinely Beautiful divine Navel, Chest, Thirumukham, The mysterious ParamAthma DhivyAthma swarUpam, His most auspicious attributes (limitless numerous kalyANa guNAs), swarUpa, aishwarya, vivhUthi, etc.. and end up being full of Joy of having and continuing to enjoy Him wholly.
