SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:

 

Dear Sri Srinath Swamin

 

Thanks for your email and appreciation as well as the comment.

adiyEn is completely disqualified for  making any imagination on AzhwAr srisookthis. adiyEn (with the little knolwdge of Tamil, English and limitless acharyan's anugraham) attempts to translate from Sri Uttamur Swami vyakhyanams which itself is based on purvacharyas' commentaries.

 

adiyEn does not add any further..

 

It is the respect of ours towards Swami Desikan and connect these lines for Parakalanayaki's respectful pranamams to Vedanthacharyan... After all- Vedantha Desikan is "Kalyian urai kudi koNda karutthudaiyOn..." 

 

In fact, Namamazhwar's verse is also interpreted and commented thus:


Namalwar in turn has mentioned about Bhasyakarar and Thirumangai Alwar in Thiruvaimoyi- Purvacharyas comment....

And what more,the same Nammalwar in Thiruvirutthaam mentions about Swami Desika.

naanilam vaaykkoNdu nannIraRamenRu kOthukoNda,
    vEnilaNY chelvan
suvaiththumizh paalai, kadanthaponnE! kaalnilam
    thOyndhu viNNOr thozhum!
kaNNan vekkaavudhu, am poon thEniLanjOlaiyap paaladhu
ep paalaikkum sEmaththathE!!

In the third and fourth lines of the above pasuram NammAzhwAr mentions about Thiruvekaa and ThiruthaNkaa (thooppul), where PoigaiAzhwAr and Swami Desikan were
born respectively.

PoigaiAzhwAr was the first AzhwAr avathaaram (Aippasi ThiruvONam) and Swami Desika was last AchArya avathaaram (Puraataasi ThiruvONam).

If we count from Aippasi, Purattaasi is the last month. This shows that it is only good that is going to happen to all because of them "eppaalaikkum SemaathhE"

Our Kulapathi addresses Swami Desika as a person from Thoopul who will help every body by giving them all time well being.

Our Poorvacharyar's vyakyanam for "eppaalaikkum SemaathhE", is that Swami Desika proved Nammalwar's words true by giving us the Saranagathy thatvam. Because of our Thoopul pillai, Thoopul is always capable of giving well being "eppaalaikkum SemaathhE"!

 

let's see what Shri Suka had told in Srimad Bhagavatham :

Kalau khalu bhavishyanti Narayanaparayanah
Kvachit Kvachit mahabhagah Dramideshu ca bhurisah !!
Tamraparani nadi yatra Krtamala Payasvini
Kaveri ca maha-bhaga Pratici ca Mahanadi !!

-- Bhagavatham 11.5.38, 39

"Great souls devoted to Bhagavan Narayana will be born during Kaliyuga. These saints will be born in great numbers in the fertile tamil country, watered by sacred rivers like Tamaraparani, Krta-mala (Vaigai), palar, Kaveri as well as those that flow westward".

All of us know that Nammalvar was born in Thirukkurugur on the banks of the river Tamaraparani. It is hence clear that Shri Suka during the purana Kala itself has
mentioned about Shri Nammalwar's avatara, in Kali Yuga.

 

When Bharathi's "aaduvOmE paLLu paaduvOmE Anandha suthanthiram adaindhu vittOm (even before independence, he sang that "let us sing and dance that we have attained Independence..), is admired for his dheergadharisanam, why not greatest AzhwArs on Acharya purushas to follow subsequently?

 

Hope it is clear and there is no apacharam committed.

 

By these, in fact, we offer our praNamams to both AzhwArs and Acharyas.

Erduite scholars may add and forgive me and correct- if adiyEn said something wrong..

 

Regards

AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam

Madhavakannan Swamin:
 
Your imagination was really not in good taste here. As a true Sri Vaishnavan it really hurts to see those words in the last para. You are doing a good work by giving detailed explanations to Tirumangai mannan's pasurams. But saying Parakala Nayaki paying obeisance to Swamy Desikan is totally out of context here. In our Guruparampara Lineage Alwars are superior  to any acharya, a learned person like you should not forget this fact. Swamy Desikan came long after Kaliyan and even in one's wildest imagination there is no question of Kaliyan seeing Swamy Desikan through any of his pasurams. Even Swamy Desikan would not admire your comments here.
 
Please correct that.
 
Dasan
 
Srinath.

Subject: [desikasampradaya] Thirumangai AzhwAr's ThirunedunthANdakam- 14th verse- Parakalanayaki admires her parrot and pays obeisance!

Sri:
SrimathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:
Dearest all,

The parrot having realized that its words make her happy, continues to utter the Para, vyooha vibhava archA moorthis. Since she (Parakalanayaki) is not able to utter any more due to her suffering and languishing, the parrot sings about other Divye Desa perumAL as that is the thArakam for the nayaki. That is heard by mother as well and both are very happy and the mother narrates the same to her friend here.

muLaikkathiraik kuRungudiyuL mugilai moovaa
moovulagum kadandhappaal mudhalaay ninRa,
aLappariya aaramudhai arangam mEya
andhaNanai andhaNar_tham sindhai yaanai,
viLakkoLiyai maragathatthaith thirutthaN gaavil
veqhaavil thirumaalaip paadak kEttu
'vaLartthathanaal payanpeRREn varuga!' enRu
madakkiLiyaik kaikooppi vangi NnaaLE. 14

muLai kathirai – like the bud He resides in the Solar system (as the indweller)
(in ThirukkuRunkudi Divya Desam)
uLmugilai – not just the clouds that hang around on top of the mountains; the ones that enter into the tall palaces of the divya desam as well
moovaa moo ulagum – beyond the three worlds
kadandhu appaal – there is Nithya vibhoothi (Srivaikunta divya lokam)
mudhalaay ninRa- He is the unparalleled Lord of all worlds residing in that Srivaikuntam eternally
aLappariya Aar amudhai – Immeasurable PoorNAnandhan;
arangam mEya andhaNanani – The pristinely pure Sri Ranganathan;
andhaNartham chinthaiyaanai – One who is always in the minds of Brahmins;
ThirutthaNkaa – In the divya desam of ThirutthaNkaa, at Kanchipuram
viLakkoLi maragathatthai – the precious emerald gem stone named ViLakkoLi perumAL;
ve:kaavil thirumaalai – the Lord of Thiruve:kaa (or Sriya: Pathi- Thiru + maalai)
paadak kaettu – enjoyed listening to the chirping /singing thus (as above)
kiLiyE- oh parrot! By grooming you (or rearing you)
payan petrEn- I have been richly benefited.
Varuga- Please come near me (respectfully calling the parrtot towards her)
Madak kiLiyai- had she enot taught- the parrot would have been ignorant of perumAL; to such a parrot
Kaikooppi – folded her hands (as if this has helped her significantly) reverently
vaNanginAL – she paid her namaskaram.
yE- this is also a marvel… and wonder.

muLaikaathir- The dawning sun is most beautiful and shining to look at. He is bright. The eyes feel refreshened to see the same. Similarly, the Lord of Paramapadha nAThan is also showing Himself at every divya desams; also the soorya maNdala madhyasthE- (one who is an in-dweller of the Sun) is also referred to perhaps.
Moovaa moovulagum- It can also mean “The One who is above all three types of Jeevathmas- Baddhar, Mukthar, Nithyasuris

appaal- Beyond the praakritha lokam (beyond Leela vibhoothi)
Aramudhu- aLappariya Aramudhu- the insatiable nectar- the immeasurable One – yathO vaachO nivartthanthE; aprA Apya manasaa sa: - where the words can not reach; the mind also can not comprehend Him any further;

viLakkoLiyai maragatthai- Here AzhwAr refers to the Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan; the Lord along with Mahalakshmi; Swamy Desikan also mentions in Saranagati Deepikai- dheepa samaavapaasam AjAnathO maragatha prathimam vapus thE…

vaLartthadhanaaal- Here when Acharyas enjoy sishyas’ accurate and sincere utterances, they feel happy and praise them. But can one fold hand and pay obeisance? kaNNapuram thozhum piaLLaiyai piLlai yenRu yeNNapeRuvarE… They only pay respect to the divine uttranes made by the disciples.

Also the parrot is only a bird and not a sishya.. and hence one can fold hands and pay the pranamams.
Or it may also mean – Parakala nayaki listening to those divine names of duvvya desams from parrot, folded hands and paid obeisance to those perumAL.

Or Parakalanaayaki has been made happier and her languishing is now lessened by listening to parrot. She has been shown the divya desams and the names and hence she looks at the parrot like the very acharyan himself- it may be said.

When the parrot said all these divya desams, perhaps the Lord Himself hass entered into the parrot for her sake and hence she folded her hands and paid obesisnace. Like Devahoothi and Kapila.

Here it can also be mentioned abot Swamy Desikan refrring himself to the parrot that was groomed by his maternal uncle and acharyan Swami appuLLAr. Perhaps Parakala naayaki sees Swamy Desikan here and pays her obeisance to Vedantha acharyan.
